diet and exercise


I've just passed the 4 week mark of my self-prescribed scheme of diet and exercise. The diet consists of not eating so much and the exercise consists of going to the gym a bit.
Amazingly I've passed the halfway point to a BMI of 25. (a healthy weight according to the archaic scale)
All I know is ive gone down one belt hole, and it feels good. :)

Binary Combination Lock

if you have one of those combination padlocks with three tumblers, each with the digits 0-9 on them that means that there are a possible 1o*10*10 combinations of numbers that can be displayed. 10*10*10 = 1000 (obviously) In order to have at least 1000 different combinations using tumblers that only have the digits 0-1 on them (the binary digits) you would have to have sufficient tumblers to display the number 999 (this is the same for the 3 tumblers using base 10, i.e. You can display 1000 numbers, all those up to 999 plus zero) You display 999 in binary like this: 1111100111 So you would need 10 tumblers. BUT the advantage is, with 10 tumblers using binary you can display a possible 1018 combinations. (1111111111 which is 1017, plus 0000000000 which is zero) Ergo 10 tumblers displaying 0-1 is much more secure and therefore sensible. QED

Learning C++ (or programming Conway's Game of Life)

This post is about programming so if that doesn't interest you then fair warned be ye, says I. Been learning C++. Out of a book. I'm just up to getting methods to work, which if you are a programmer you will know is not that far in, but it's a start damnit! So I know from experience that it is much more fun to do this kind of thing if you are making something that is actually fun and you care about, so I had a crack at Conway's Game of Life, something that I'd always wanted to do since I first heard about it. The basic premise is that you have a field of cells. Each cell dies if it is overcrowded or too lonely and cells are born if there are a specific number of living cells nearby. This gives you a fairly rudimentary but funtastic life simulator. LET'S DO IT! Features of my version: Shitty coding. (hey I'm learning) My version features no methods classes or objects or anything fancy like that just good old fashioned loops and 'if' statements. Eye wa...

Scrabble

Been playing a lot of scrabble recently. The best possible scrabble word I can think of is 'Quizzing' Of course there is only 1 'z' in scrabble so you'd need a blank tile. 'Quiz_ing' And you only get 7 letters so you'd need to put it at the end of a word such as 'sin'       s       i quiz_ing And to get the most out of it you'd have to land it on a triple word score for instance the one in the bottom left corner, which would also land your 'z' on a double letter score and your 'g' on the bottom middle triple word score. Therefore your total score would be: Q = 10, U = 1, I = 1, z = 10, N = 1, G = 2. (((10 + 1 + 1 + (10*2) + 0 + 1 + 1 + 2) * 3) * 3) = 324 plus 50 for using all 7 letters = 374
