God it's slow in here today......which isn't helping my boredom levels.
Here I am, running XSL benchmarks on a pc that keeps crashing every hour. New one comes tomorrow though - with a CD burner, heh heh!!!
Massive broadband + CD burner = sore temptation to download everything I possiby can from everywhere.....

Ain't it fun! I'll have admin rights but not sure if the proxy servers will allow me to install winmx - in fact, if I try I'll probably have the security peeps dragging me down to security for a good kicking. Bit tight on security at this place :cry:
Still, I could still be a mainframe programmer starting at a dumb terminal with no web-access, so it could be a lot worse.
mmmmm... an afternoon of xsl here we come...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

If you wanna be a geek then help me out with this one - my dad sent me this question, and knowing him its something to do with programming languages, or something like binary or hex or something like that:
Fill in the missing number:
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 20 22 24 31 100 ... 10000
Its probably really obvious but i can't see it yet.....

Well..... I cheated but the answer is:
121
I just used google, but it's basically like this:
start on 10 (base 16/hex)
which is 11 is base 15
12 (base 14)
13 (base 13)
etc etc
121 (base 3)
1000 (base 2 / binary)
Oh dear, I'm really digging a hole now, aren't I ?

Nice one geeza! I tried using google but got sweet FA.
I suppose its quite easy really but i never would have thought of it. I'm pretty old fashioned really, cos i generally count in base 10.
Like the old saying goes, theres only 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.
