Working tools of a E-Mason

[RoughAshlar]

Found the following while stumbling around the net and thought Id share it.

I now present you with the working tools of an E-Mason.
They are the mouse, the keyboard, and the modem.

The mouse is to move within the desktop. The keyboard to input data. And the modem to publish in cyber space.

As we are not online, as computer nerds. But rather as Free and Accepted E-Masons. We use these tools to obtain more Masonic light and to show us the meaning and value of E-Masons.

And thus we apply them...

The mouse teaches us to keep within the bounds of the screen. A square wherein which we all meet on the level.

The keyboard is to show us that communicating will lead us to a better understanding of each other and the rest of the mankind.

The modem to teach us that even when we are alone, or in the most remote part of the globe, we may meet and gain sustenance and support from each other and thus gain more light, from our Ancient and Honorable Fraternity.

So Mote it Be...

Nicely done. Just goes to show that when freemasons engage in any laudible undertaking, anything can be accomplished. Kudo's on your find.

Great post , thanks .

 

[FF Sparky]

Is this the next side degree? or a whole new appendant body of Freemasonry? Do we have to pay our dues with thru Paypal? And will stated communications be held on AOL chat? Skype? Facebook?

Skype, as it is pure per-2-peer so there is no central server to record the meetings, still have the issue of Tyling.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

 

[Casey]

So, E-Lodge 871, then?

Wait... that converter can't be right. The slot for 1 is empty.

4+8+32+64+256+512+1024

Lodge #1900. That's more like it.

Here's your handy binary converter

1. 0001
2. 0010
3. 0011
4. 0100
5. 0101
6. 0110
7. 0111

so 0011 = 3, 0110 = 6, 0111 = 7
Lodge number 367 (in decimal)

So I am a member of Wayne Lodge #1110000!

[Duncan1574]

How about ff.ff.ff.00, ff.ff.00.00, & ff.00.00.00?

Ah, I was taking it as one binary sequence, not three individual numbers.

17 would be 11001. You only need 5 bits, not 7.

1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111, 10000, 10001.

The spaces in the notation of xxxx xxxx xxxx makes it 3 separate numbers.

 

[Duncan1574]

How about ff.ff.ff.00, ff.ff.00.00, & ff.00.00.00?

Nobody jumping Hexadecimals?

Nobody jumping Hexadecimals?

Not today... doing the boring part of building a syslog server, installing all the clients

 

[Gary]

I haven't had to think about binary code since high school data processing. UGH! you guys are making my head hurt!

 

[BukeyeJackson]

You had data processing in HS? As an elective or required?

 

[Ashlar2006]

You had computers in High School ?

 

[Duncan1574]

We had an elective class in HS, plug boards, 90 column tab cards (80 chars + seq#), and an Olivetti programmable calculator (magstrip cards).
