Binary… its used by computers… for computers… its simple. Millions of billions of trillions of lines of 1′s and 0′s make up everything we know of about computers, and everything computer related. The behind the scenes stuff – which makes everything tick. Its all the code which a computer can read to generate everything so we understand it… because, well, humans can’t really understand it for obvious reasons – the title for one would have most if not all of you baffled. But! Obviously if your computer ever fails and you still need your important emails delivered – there’s always an alternative. Yes. You could encode it yourself into binary, and pour all the 1′s and 0′s down into your phone line to be sent to your recipient. Its true – I’m calling it the SEI – the Self Encoding Initative, where we reduce power usage by self encoding emails – and thus – no use to use up electricity powering the PC as you don’t need it.
It’s all pretty simple, all you have to do is generate the polynomial as X^4 + X + 1 and then encode the bits 1001001101. Or atleast that is what we were asked to do ‘on the fly’ in our Midterm Networking exam the other day… nice…
Anyways! to you and me the title in other letters means ’1/2′ indicating that tonight, we are exactly half way through our time here in America – which is pretty weird! It doesn’t feel that long we’ve been here, but, there’s plenty more to do in the coming couple of months!

Well you know what they say…
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
