1+1=10

First Day of School
That's what i learned during my first day of school.
Apparently 1+1=10
and 11+1=100.
I'm not lying, i swear that's what my professor was attempting to teach us during the two hour lecture.

Alright, so i'm not talking about the normal number system here, it's called the binary number system, would any ner... er i mean technically inclined person like to explain to the idio... er i mean technically disinclined people what it means?

If you were to notice the time at which this post was written, you notice that i've sacrificed my lunch hour for my derserving audience. Sigh, the things i do for my art.

Tutorials
Actually the reason I'm skipping lunch is simply because that i was busy doing my research for the tutorial slots i'm supposed to take up this semester, as everyone now knows, i'm endeavouring to acheive a 4 day week inspite of taking up 6 modules. And one of the modules being a language. Spent nearly an hour getting it correct. Hopefully things will turn out as i planned. Leaving me a day to relax and swim.

Time-Table
Frankly speaking, i think my time-table rocks, alright so i might have to skip lunch on Tuesdays and Fridays, and the latest i'm able to start is 9am, and the earliest i can finish is 4pm. Its worth it to reduce my commuting time. I still recall last semester when i had to come to school for a measly two hour lecture. Sigh, the time i spent to travel to and from school is greater than the time i actually spend learning.

Sigh, time for me to go and attend my next lecture, its japanese, so hopefully it'll be less boring.

If you add 01 to 01, you cannot get 02, that's why you bring the 1 forward to the tens place and you get 10.

Same thing as for 11 and 01, you cannot get 12, neither will you get 20, it just keeps overlapping and that's why you get 100.

That's why it's called binary, only two numbers possible. 1 or 0.

Haha, you're not a nerd. Just technically inclined?
