[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm down to the last real load of laundry! There will probably be at least one more of dribs and drabs, plus the linens which won't be until Sunday, but this is pretty much it.

Boxes have officially taken over the house. We have a box maze in place of hallway and rooms.

Ten days! ACK!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

OK Teppy, convert the binary number 101 to base 10.

Um.

4?

Okay, I just went back and read the spoilerfont.

I thought the first 1 represented how many 3s there are.

Grah.

Obviously I retained no knowledge of the binary system.

(Actually -- I say, shamefacedly -- it took me a good 30 seconds of thinking, "Base 10? BASE TEN?!? What the fuck is base 10?!?" before I remembered that it's, you know, Numbers For Dummies.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Back from Michaels. DH got a few things for a little work presentation he's doing and I got...

Scrapbooking stuff.

Yeah. That's right.

Don't look at me.

I'm hideous.

Our wings are not tired

I'm rusty but there was a point when I could read both binary and hexadecimal and translate it to decimal without pausing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I used to say stuff like, "I'm not a computer geek. Computer geeks can read hexadecimal." Then I started reading hexadecimal....

But don't feel bad, Teppy. Somewhere I heard that the half-life for mathematical knowledge is 1.5 years or something....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am getting better at reading binary since we made the LED Binary Clock the main time telling device in the living room, but I still have to think through each digit to be sure.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

my brain just sploded all over the monitor.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Heh, Bitches has turned into Binary 101. Sorry, Binary 1100101.
