running across school...

[ltk007]

I was really tired today and was kinda in a trance at school. After 1st period I forgot to go back to my locker and instead headed towards my second period class. Just before I got there I realized I had left my books in my locker. My teacher was gonna bitch at me and take off points if I didn't have my Spanish book, so I rushed to my locker. I made good time despite the "traffic" of about 500 students walking down a narrow hallway. By the time I had grabbed my books from the locker the bell was about to ring and my next class was all the way across the school. I ran as fast as humanly possible (that teacher gives detention if you are late and it friday dammit I will not stay after on a friday). I swear I must've broken a world record cause I made it just as the bell rang. I was so happy, I avoided detention.


Unfortunately school still sucks (except for history, we have the coolest teacher and all we have done so far is fool around and do some cool games) and maybe programming (but so far all we've done is learn binary).

binary?!

"...oh, we have a winner here folks"

Do you like binary? What do you do? I'm interested, but not enough to take a class pertaining to it...

Ahhhh, the joys of high school.

We just learned how to translate dec numbers (our number system) into binary, hex, and oct. Pretty pointless so far, but I'm sure it has a purpose.

binary has its purposes when you start programming in Assembly language (8086 or CUSP) and you want to do bit-wise shifting for CRC algorithms. its useful, and can be fun!! <sarcasm>

taking assembly was one of the most horrifying experiences in my life
till i switched teachers and found someone who knew their stuff
my first teacher would lecture from overhead slides
which he xeroxed from the book itself
asking him questions would result in a &quot;i'll have to check on that&quot; answer everytime

hmm... i go to UCLA. I took ASM last year. My teacher also xeroxed all his crap from the book. No one bothered asking questions because we were all asleep. ASM is fun stuff, especially on risc processors. On cisc you have to know binary. We didnt do any cisc but i had to read a couple chapters on it, and you need bit offsets to see how many bits long the instructions is. It seemed like a really stupid way of doing things.

My dad taught himself assembly. Scary huh?

DaMN!!, scared the sh!t out of me... : p
