Posted by stilldo [send private reply] at March 24, 2003, 10:42:41 PM
okay, just this morning i as threatened by two seperate teachers that if i don't hand in X and Y assignments i would get both a normal detention (half hour after school, picking up assorted s**t from around the campus), and a friday detention (same, but for 90 minutes), but im innocent - i plead incompatibility
the reason is that this morning i asked my brother at email those two assignments from home*, since i thought i could print them off befor skool started. anyway, he did send them (about forty minutes into first period...), and i recieve emails with the following mime attachments (this is just one, but they're almost identical) ******* Received: from mta02ps.bigpond.com by mail.cgs.act.edu.au; Tue, 25 Mar 2003 09:48:48 +1100 Received: from cvpp-p-144-138-156-178.prem.tmns.net.au ([144.135.25.72]) by mta02ps.bigpond.com (Netscape Messaging Server 4.15 mta02ps Jul 16 2002 22:47:55) with SMTP id HC9ZD700.0BA for <david.still@cgs.act.edu.au>; Tue, 25 Mar 2003 08:48:43 +1000 Received: from cvpp-p-144-138-156-178.prem.tmns.net.au ([144.138.156.178]) by psmam02.bigpond.com(MAM V3.3.2 74/1136906); 25 Mar 2003 08:48:43 Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 09:48:37 +1100 From: David Still <stigmata@bigpond.com> X-X-Sender: stigmata@stigmata.local To: david.still@cgs.act.edu.au Subject: visual arts assignment Message-ID: <Pine.OSX.4.53.0303250946450.657@stigmata.local> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED; BOUNDARY="0-966400599-1048546053=:657" Content-ID: <Pine.OSX.4.53.0303250948340.657@stigmata.local> --0-966400599-1048546053=:657 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-ID: <Pine.OSX.4.53.0303250948341.657@stigmata.local> --0-966400599-1048546053=:657 Content-Type: APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM; NAME="vaassign.doc" Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: <Pine.OSX.4.53.0303250947330.657@stigmata.local> Content-Description: Content-Disposition: ATTACHMENT; FILENAME="vaassign.doc" Click to view Base64 Encoded File vaassign.doc ****** any reason why i shouldn't be able to recieve and download the documents? they ARE compatible (done this before), and i am running mac os x at home.

I would think you could download it?? unless the school has something blocking certain files [ie a firewall or attachment lock] or doesn't allow you to log into POP3 [It sounds liek that is what you have here] accounts.
Good luck!

Just do your time and have your work done before school starts next time. Don't worry, highschool will end and things get better after that

I'm nearly finished all my project work for my examinations this summer (they call it coursework here). I'm very happy. Next year, the only subject with coursework is computers... which is fantastic! (I'm finally taking shool computer classes from September onwards).

"I'm finally taking shool computer classes"
When you find yourself typing "See spot run" 90 times and learing how to use an outdated version of MS works you'll lose your enthousiasm quickly LOL

Oh how I can relate to that...

Actually we have Office 2000 Pro in the school, WinNT/Win200 terminals, Visual Basic 6, (This is where it starts getting funny) Turbo Pascal 5.5.
It's a computer science class (rather than information communication technology - You can (but don't have to) take either) - I'm taking it to get a garuanteed A grade.

"3. couldn't be stuffed
oh, and i had to recite a bloody long pome today in english... and stuffed it up. for those of you interested, its Australia, by AD Hope" What I am interested in is what "stuffed" means in those two contexts

Get a yahoo or hotmail account, and send it as an atachment to one of those accounts. Instead of treating it as an actual POP3 session and an attachment, when you open the attachment on yahoo it will just act like a regular http download.

Yahoo/ hotmail is banned/filtered/blocked in our school. All mail must go through the school server (which is down 50% of the time.

"stuffed", I'd guess, is something like "zipped", although using StuffIt (popular compression tool on mac's) or something.

yes, but there as to be an e-mail website they havn't blocked. As well, you could always upload it to a webserver where you have some space at as a last resort.

ssh is the answer. scp is beautiful. =)

mop: They have done a pretty good job of banning most email sites. And they filter a hell of a lot of sites, so it would be difficult to find an unfiltered web server.

we used to be able to skip right past ck by going to world.altavista.com, since it acts as a browser proxy.
they blocked that, too :(
