well, I really needed that. I'm glad it was good like that. it was worth the gas and the sleep. I'll be the world champion of backgammon.
I really should sleep, though.
I'm excited about making a last minute halloween costume.
the other day, in line for my gyro (my new obsession), a woman made me go ahead of her because I was on lunch. she knew I had class, somehow...and it was very considerate of her. I did so reluctantly, but I was pleasantly suprised. so much so I had to turn around and tell her so. it's good to know there're people like that out there. she made my week.
for esther:
Raw data are numbers, characters, images or other outputs from devices to convert physical quantities into symbols, in a very broad sense. Such data are typically further processed by a human or input into a computer, stored and processed there, or transmitted (output) to another human or computer. Raw data is a relative term; data processing commonly occurs by stages, and the "processed data" from one stage may be considered the "raw data" of the next.
Mechanical computing devices are classified according to the means by which they represent data. An analog computer represents a datum as a voltage, distance, position, or other physical quantity. A digital computer represents a datum as a sequence of symbols drawn from a fixed alphabet. The most common digital computers use a binary alphabet, that is, an alphabet of two characters, typically denoted "0" and "1". More familiar representations, such as numbers or letters, are then constructed from the binary alphabet.
