How to read binary numbers
0000-00-00 00:00:00
As humans we have a total of 10 fingers (5 fingers on each hand). So it's only natural that our counting system is based on groups of 10. Now just imagine for a moment that humans only had 2 fingers. Would a counting system with the group of 10 be logical? Probably not. And this is the exact predicament we have with computers. All computers are created with 2 fingers, but we refer to them as switches. They can only be in one of 2 positions: on or off. When you enter a dark room you turn the light switch on, doing so changes the switch from 0 (off) to 1 (on). This is how a computer counts. And now it gets complicated... Each column in our number system represents a grouping of 10. The number 13 is made of 2 parts: 10+3. Meanwhile 113 is actually 100+10+3. In binary it's a little different (but the principle is the same). We just substitute 10 with 2. Instead of 10 we have 2, instead of 100 we have 4. So the number 3 is 11 in binary (2+1). The number 6 in binary is 110 (...

So the ceremony was held overlooking O'Sullivan Beach with the reception located a bit further up the coast at Christies Beach Surf Lifesaving Club. Computers have always been a big part of my life and I wanted to include them in the wedding. We were lucky enough to have booked a venue that featured an overhead projector. I developed a program that displayed all of the guests photos taken throughout the day. We wanted to give everyone the ability to easily upload photos A lot of people at the wedding would not be familiar with computers and would not understand how to upload the photos. I needed to create a software program that is easy to use and required minimal interaction. It had to be a simple 3 step process. The Solution: After purchasing a 31-in-1 card reader I developed a...
