About me
[edit]Hi, I'm Nancy. I live in New Jersey. I am retired now, but I used to work in New York City. I enjoy editing wikipedia when I have time, which is not often. I am the wife of a writer, formerly a software developer, the mother of two grown children, a three-time grandmother, and a former college professor doing research in computer networking and computational biology. I sometimes use wikipedia to provide information that isn't in the class text or isn't done adequately there. Sometimes I have to add information to wikipedia for this purpose. Sometimes I give students assignments to edit parts of articles or to create small articles, if they learn something in class that's not already in wikipedia. Usually, when I grade it, I mark some that i need to return to for editing and correction -- but usually, when I get back to them, they're already fixed! That's why I love wikipedia.
I have a wikipedia page at Nancy Griffeth, my home page at Lehman College (not up-to-date!!) is http://comet.lehman.cuny.edu/griffeth/, and the Website for the CMACS workshop that I founded and ran is at http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/academics/cmacs/.
My Wikipedia Pages
[edit]My Sandbox for testing new pages and for saving information about topics of interest to me that for whatever reason aren't in wikipedia.
TODO
[edit]Revisions to Internet protocol suite -- thinking about it.
Revisions to DHCP -- I did a couple, of which I'm not proud, the page needs a lot more thought.
