I think I am going to go back and enroll at a local school… The question is which one is more appropriate… Primary or High school. Probably lower high school. What has brought this on? Well, I have just been searching for a bug and wanting to do some programming. The bug took too long to work out. Lets assume you want to write 10 numbers in a row starting at zero. That is 0, 1, 2 etc. Question: What is the last number to be written… That is easy. It is the number ‘9’. But of course I said 10… This is actually called a fensepost error, but regardless I need help.<\/p>\n
The other one was that I need to work out if two points are within 1000 units of each other. I know the distances for the sides of a right angle triangle. So pythagorus says SQRT (x^2 + y^2). But SQRT will not work well on this device… And I have been thinking of bizzare ways to fix this… But I did not think of the obvious. I just square both sides… 1,000,000 > (x^2 + y^2). Much simpler and takes much less time. Things that highschool students should be able to work out… <\/p>\n
Last night I was having hassles with working with a server in Canada. I could *NOT* get things to work… Then I decided to connect from another server on my own ISP. It was fine. So I disabled my proxy on my Firewall for Web pages… And things suddenly started working. You would not believe how much time that took me to solve. ARGH. <\/p>\n
So there you have it… Time wasted, but that is normal. I hope that the next 24 hours will be more productive than the last 24…. <\/p>\n
And whilst I remember it, one of my friends has suggested that I look at the Brekeke<\/a> WWW site for a simple PABX software package for UNIX and WINDOWS. It is cheap, and I will have a look at it… Cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I think I am going to go back and enroll at a local school… The question is which one is more appropriate… Primary or High school.
