Binary clock

As stupid as it is, it is still something i need to post. Yeah who would bother to watch binary clock? it took me quite sometime to figure out the real time. I found this on google personalised start site and found it interesting.

So this is how you look at it. The last 2 columns are second, the next 2 are minutes and the first 2 are hours. Second (sec.) column is switching oftenly up-down, 1-0. The right side of sec. column goes from 0-9 in binary and the left side goes from 0-6 in binary. In other word, as soon as the right side of sec. column reaches 9 in binary, the left side adds its current number in binary or goes back to 0. The same concept applies on the minute and hour, which are respectively dependent on sec. and minute.

On this case the time above shows: 16:13:05.

First blog from flock

Test 1 2 3... this is my first post directly from flock web browser...

My first blog in blogger.com

Righto, i finally registered in blogger.com after being a member in blogs.friendster.com. Friendster is more like community site. There i met people that i lost along the way. It also has blog which is recently full of advert and it annoys me somehow.

In my blog, basicly i like to talk about different stuffs, but so far technology issues dominate mine topic. You can visit it at Tika's blog. The other reason why i decided to use blogger.com, because of flock web browser. Feel like trying to make use of this new "inteligent" browser. I had it for quite sometimes tho, but never really use its special functionality. So i guess it's about time.

Live telnet ASCII WorldCup

Do you know that you can watch world cup in matrix style? Not quite like in matrix, where the characters fall from top to buttom, this one goes from rigth to left and it's in ASCII code. If you open your konsole or in windows start -> run: type "cmd" copy and paste this: "telnet diego.ascii-wm.net 2006" in the konsole and press enter (return), you can watch live game from Germany.

It's commentated as "the best, most ridiculous, most redundant graphical implementation of ASCII!"
