New Edugeek Users - Introduce yourself here :)

I think I was around 16 when Pink Floyd toured for the Division Bell album so I'd not been listening to them for long. I saved and saved my money with the illusion I would have enough for a ticket, not a chance.

Still I do remember it was live on the BBC and on Radio1 at the same time so I watched it with the sound down on the TV and the hi-fi on full blast. It was the closest I was going to get for another 11 years

FYI: finally i'll say i can spell sort of an my grammar is exelent when i am trying but this is a forum an this is a comuter an my keybard skills have degraded over the years(also for ne one whos a real geek you may notice that my brain processes what it thinks i have typed before i type it so sometimes the letters of the words appear but in the wrong order casue i am watching the keyboard and not the screen) so please excuse my inability to type spell or gramatise my writing casue i will just be honest now an say i probly wont fix it

an if you read all that WD - i know i wouldent

@tech_master: If you wouldn't mind adding your general location into your profile, it could be helpful. The reason I say this, to all members, is that we are a generous and friendly bunch and often offer to show you around our sites - we like to show off our funky equipment

It's also great if everyone can add themselves to the EduGeek map (see link on left - http://www.edugeek.net/index.php?name=Map ).

And to all who understand binary:

01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111

Lets see who can get it.....mwahahahahaha

(have had binary on the mind since si's post the other day!)

01000010 01101111 01101110 01101010 01101111 01110101 01110010

.....is it me your looking for?


01001000 = 072 = H
01100101 = 101 = E
01101100 = 108 = L
01101100 = 108 = L
01101111 = 111 = O

is it sad that I knew they were ansi values?

[amyr]

Well I'm Amy, 24, ICT Tech at Sandling Primary in Maidstone, Kent and another whose job doesn't match their job description! (And yes, anything with a plug is classed as ICT and so therefore my job to fix!) I've also got a degree in Comp Sci from Portsmouth Uni.

When I'm not at work, I'm working on developing my webdevelopment skills or out riding a horse...or walking the dog. Current project for half term will be building my own site and getting sky working with live sound on my media centre.

I spotted Edugeek @ BETT, so thought I'd join when I got home as always looking for good places to find answers to niggling questions given that I am the entire ICT department (apart from the ICT Coordinator who is a full time teacher as well!)

That's it from me, Amy x

You knew the characters without looking them up? :shock:

Welcome Amyr

Take no notice of the madness above - a few weeks here and you'll be just as daft

[ChrisC]

Madness? MadnesS?

Binary is the backbone of computing!

The day a forum for geeks chastises the use of binary is a very dark day indeed!

Or you could say:

01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100100 01100001 01111001 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 01110101 01101101 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01100111 01100101 01100101 01101011 01110011 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01110011 01110100 01101001 01110011 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110101 01110011 01100101 00100000 01101111 01100110 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100001 00100000 01110110 01100101 01110010 01111001 00100000 01100100 01100001 01110010 01101011 00100000 01100100 01100001 01111001 00100000 01101001 01101110 01100100 01100101 01100101 01100100 00100001
