....I HOPE YOU GET THIS, I DISABLED MY CHIP AND WE INVENTED A TIME MACHINE TO SEND MESSAGES THROUGH TIME SO I HOPE YOU GET THIS. UH OH! GUARDS ARE COMING GOTTA GO!

Die Dirty Dog of a Troll!!!

[Monkey Face]

Well. That’s...interesting.

:o|

[sionnsar]

Yup. You see, in the second line the first ‘1’ is still in place but I swapped the other two ‘1’s. And so on until all 6 permutations were achieved.

[Monkey Face]

Ah. That makes sense. Fanks!

[sionnsar]

Having a little fun over a new search engine whose name doesn't seem to be correctly translated into English for all that it sounds cool.

[sionnsar]

‘Se do bheatha!

[Monkey Face]

I’ll probably use it, since I loathe Google. I’ve never found anything I wanted unless I went to Dogpile.

[NicknamedBob]

Maybe it’s binary.

Eight, four, and two equal room fourteen.

[Monkey Face]

LOL!

Igor tried to ‘splain Binary to meyears ago, and I just couldn’t get it!

[sionnsar]

The only thing I use Google for anymore is for translations. As a search engine they were acceptable but their politics stink.

[Tax-chick]

Afternoon! It’s hot here.

[sionnsar]

Maybe it’s binary.
Eight, four, and two equal room fourteen.

That's true, but if it's in trinary it's 39 decimal.

But room "numbers" tend not to be really numbers at all, they're often names conveying location information. For example, if Room "101" is on the first floor, you might expect to find Room "201" on the second floor (or in another building, or in unusual situations on the 20th floor). And you would normally expect to find Room "202A" very close to Room "201" and not "numbered" 8234 (mentally 202A in base-sixteen) decimal.

But hey, I'm showing off stuff that took me decades to learn... *\;-)

[Tax-chick]

It’s a one-story building.

[sionnsar]

Here it's... (runs to back deck door and returns)... 74F.
Yep, hot here too!

But I checked the forecast and Rain Is Coming - yahoo!

[darkangel82]

It wouldn’t be Seattle with no rain...

[sionnsar]

It’s a one-story building.

Then I guess you won't find it on the 11th floor. (Or by American measure the 12th in some other places in the world, and if you think that's bad think about elevator companies who have to deal with subsurface levels all around the world.)

[Monkey Face]

That’s all I use Google for, too. And sometimes, the translations are lousy.

Exactly. Our nice moss lawns tend to turn brown this time of year (upside is we don't have to mow, and nothing clogs a lawnmower faster than moss!), we suffer with heat waves that reach 80 and ugly blue skies (that old song about "The Bluest Skies You Ever Saw Are In Seattle" is 100% correct and take a warning -- it can get really ugly here this time of year) and we pray for rain (this will soon pass and we'll return to the delightful soft gray drizzle so beloved of those of us adapted to Scotland's cheery climes).

And sometimes, the translations are lousy.

Sometimes? Usually! But better than nothing...

[sionnsar]

And sometimes, the translations are lousy.

At one point many moons ago I had some fun taking Englisch phrases or sentences and running through several Google language translations. What I found was that after a point, the hash created of the original tended to stabilize no matter how many other languages you ran it through. Which says something about their translation software...

...but I'm not sure exactly what at my current level of exhaustion.
