The Push-Pop Inefficiency

Copy and paste. That's what most students do when they have tp finish an assignment. A rather easy method to get things done. Plagiarism as how they call it and nowadays, everyone knows how to do it. But what most people don't know is how it work. The function is pretty easy. Push-pop.

So what happen is, when you copy something, you're actually pushing datas (in binary codes of course) into a specific "container" in the memory. Then when you want to paste it, what happens actually is that the container will push back the datas out into the specific place that you want it to be. That's pretty much the idea idea though. I wouldn't want to make things become complicated by talking about the "address" in the memory and such. So yea, that's the push-pop function in the computer.

Now this brings my attention to the shower system here at the Résidence Universitaire. It uses a very ridiculous and inefficient system. If you want to take a shower, you have to press a button to get the water. If you let go of it, the water stops. Bloody ridiculous right? So if you want to shampoo or apply the shower gel, you'd have to stop pressing it and the water will stop. I have no problem with that. I think it saves the water consumption. But then, if you want to continue washing up, you have to press the button again but then, the water will become cold for awhile and you'd have to wait for it to get hot again. And sometimes, when it's cold, you really want to get into the hot water as quick as possible but then again, you'd have to wait. And so yea, i don't like this system at all. Imagine having to go through it during winter. We'll freeze before we get the hot water. Haha.

So yea, that's all the updates for now. Bye.

P/S: I love you syg. :) :)

The Toilet Symphony

I've just moved in to the Residence Universitaire (University residence) about a week ago. When i was at my foster fam's house, i always thought that it'll be fun. Cos we will have our own privacy and no more of that "moment of silence" at the dinner table with your foster parents. All of those are true here. Except i forgot about the toilet.. And thus, another toilet related post.

Here, we don't have our own private toilet in our room. We have to share the toilet and shower room.. Just like back in MFI. I hate using this kind of collectif toilet. I guess the reason is evident. Sometimes, it's just not that clean after some irresponsible bozo used it. I have a thing for cleanliness and i really really emphasize on good hygiene. So, i hate this kind of toilet.

Well to be honest, that's not the only reason. We all know that public toilets have a really poor acoustic. No need to elaborate in detail on that. It seem to amplify sound. Trust me, using the toilet in the morning really really is not a good idea at all. There are four toilet cabins near my room. And in the morning, it's always full. So one morning, i had to use it. And i got the one that's in the middle. Since all the other three cabins were occupied.

I was shocked by what i heard. The sound of people doing their business. And not by one people. But by three other people. Trust me, it sounded like they were playing in an orchestra. One sound after the another. And since i was in the middle cabin, the sound came from both side. Stereo sound! What the heck right.. But then, it got me thinking. If there are more than 2 people, it seem like they're playing in an orchestra, what if it's just two people. What will happen? My theory, a duel. A fart duel. They'll challenge one another to death! Or in this case, till one of them is out of gas or ammo. Not a game that i would want to play or even get involve with. Hence, i really want a toilet for myself.

Have a great weekend people. :)
