Sudelbücher

A little bit of an internation feel of things with Ralf Westphal's posts.  He's got a pretty cool word in his title "Sudelbücher."  It's like a journal I guess, but a little more informal.  Found this definition from google: "sort of an informal notebook where you keep your trip expenses, that sort of thing, collections of thoughts, random, flashes, worked sentences."

Good word.

Based on this post, I think I know what some of the old mainframe programmers here when I'm talking .NET to them in class: "Im Grunde wird der ganze OSI Protokollstack vorgestellt: Sockets (auch Multicast), TCP/UDP, HTTP/SMTP/POP3; dazu dann noch Streams und Cryptographie."
