unary
1. [programming] (or "monadic") A description of a
function or operator which takes one argument, e.g. the
unary minus operator which negates its argument. The term is
part of the same sequence as nullary and binary.
2. [data, humour] Base one. A number base with only one
digit, namely zero, and which can therefore only be used to
express the number zero. Attempting to add one to zero
results in an infinite sequence of carries. Numbers in unary
notation can be represented particularly efficiently however
since each digit requires no storage.

livejournal just ate another one of my posts, so i'm going to try to re-
construct.
yesterday i got off work at 6 pm and went home to eat a chicken sandwich.
afterwards, i sat on my bed because i was tired and full. i accidentally
fell asleep and didn't wake up until 3:30 this morning. i feel amazingly
refreshed. i'm sitting in the csci lab after class and i just realized that
i'm a really loud typist (typer??). database test got pushed back to next
tuesday. and i found out that next week we have a small break from school.
yippee! right? no, it just means that i'll be working a lot more. but, at
least i'll make some more money.
off to eat and go back to work.
