I dream about flossing but i never actually get around to it…
A bit groggy this morning. Jono’s 21st birthday party last night. Sonya, actually a friend of jono’s friend monica, is studying computer engineering/commerce. She’s been working on trying to programme a series of four lifts to make sure they go up, down, stop and prioritise particular journeys as they should. This, i reckon, is no mean feat. Apart from the notoriously dicky mechanics of a lift (which i’m sure she doesnt have to deal with too much) there are probably some really complex if/then strings to consider. IF i am on the ground floor AND i press the up button, THEN send the lift down from where it is BUT if someone else presses the down button on the way THEN allow the lift to stop and pick them up BUT do no allow anyone to get in if they pressed the up button etc… this is complex stuff, i think she said she’s programming in “C” whatever that might be.
