So I finally caved in. No, I have not seen Titanic (NEVAR!). I started playing World of Warcraft.
I know, I know. Mock me all you want. I was sucked in by my friends Julia and Stacey, who were sucked in by their friend Claire (she's a knitter so it's cool.) I didn't want to do it but I got this new computer and all, so I needed to test it's capabilities. Haha.
Anyway, for any geeks that play reading this:
Stomperbears
Draenor
Night Elf Hunter lvl 85
Guild: Dropped Stitches

"Anything a king gives twice is an Order."
"If the king gives me a dead halibut, he has given me a dead halibut. If, next week, he gives you one, we are now Companions of the Halibut and I'm the principal."
(from Silverwing's Laws which relates to SCA but I just liked this "law" in particular.)
Oh, and try this geek test if you dare:

fa'c shizzle my graphizzle
Rap as Math
Whew, well I just spent a whole weekend thinking about nothing but one stupid hat!
Well, I take that back. It was probably the smartest hat ever, for sure it was smarter than me!
The hat is done with a series of cables that when interpreted from left to right represent the numbers from 0 to 15. In binary. HA!
So here is the way you read it: from bottom to top of the hat, no twist in a 'row' equals 0 (zero) and a twist in a 'row' equals a 1 (one). The hat has four applicable 'rows' (top to bottom) and sixteen 'columns' or cables (left to right).
The table explains the binary of the numbers from zero to ten.
| Binary | Decimal |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 |
| 11 | 3 |
| 100 | 4 |
| 101 | 5 |
| 110 | 6 |
| 111 | 7 |
| 1000 | 8 |
| 1001 | 9 |
| 1010 | 1 |
I know, I know. Don't hate me.
Here are some pictures of the hat and an illustration of each of the numbers:
So 15 in binary is 1111, or four twists on the cable.
People are surprised that I knit until I show them things like this.
Now about FAC. I am no longer quite so poor. But there is NO FAC IN FC THIS WEEK. Why?
Well because of this:
I am working this thing! It will be like the other events, with some great performances, some awesome burlesque, aerial acts (hoops and sashes!), and a ton of great art. Come on down!Crypto quote~ 01100001 = 'a'
