OT: How old are you ?

i'm 10110 years old. yes... it's binary.

Smolf said:
My age is the molecular weight of sodium hydroxide minus the spin multiplicity of hexaamminecobalt(III) ion (low-spin, strong field => diamagnetic complex) times the number of "common" amino acids. To this add the number of alfa and beta chains in Hemoglobin plus the number of phosphate goups in ATP.

How hard can it be?

(40-1x20+4+3=27)

Is it sad that I immediately translated the binary to 22, and that I only had to think of what everything added together, and whether the spin of hexaamminecobalt(III) was positive or negative? I honestly don't know why I still remember the rest of the stuff... I can understand the binary, since that's kind of what I do, but I haven't touched Bio or Chem in years (well, five)...

And to toss mine in, this summer will be #21. The night before my birthday should be... interesting. Good thing I don't get hangovers.

If it is sad, then i'm just as sad, since I translated it straight away as well.

You forgot one thing... If hexaamminecobalt(III) is diamagnetic (as I wrote) all electrons are paired. The spin multiplicity is calculated from unpaired electrons which there are none off, so the spin direction is irrelevant

I'm 36 and I'm a network administrator for a federal contracting company (work in DC). I don't normally post here, just lurk. Informative bunch you all are. I've just started with SEIV Gold, though I've had it for a while. Work keeps getting in the way of my PC gaming, dang it!!

Hello, welcome to the forum.

[Wizarc]

Yeah, just turned 36, have been away from SEIV for a couple of years. Just lurking usually. Believe my first post was in this thread a millenium ago.

SEIV has always been my favorite game. I am going to start playing again.

Looking at the number of posts I do I dont post enough. I am going to have to follow narf poit chez BOOM lead...he is a great poster...

I'm almost 36 (this coming June). I'm currently an out of work IT guy (ie: non-corp, or company), who does IT work on the side as much as I can. This 'free' time allows me to help out my mother (62), who previously had a triple bypass almost 2 years ago (June), and on Dec 24th, she slipped on some ice on the front walkway of the house(of the one day we get snow and ice and such in El Paso for the year), and ended up cracking her knee-cap in half. They wired it back together, so I have to currently drive her too and from rehab 3-4 days a week. This is a very similar routine after her bypass surgery, plus due to bad joints, and bones and such it also makes it difficult for her to drive on a regular basis...so I am the chauffeur of choice. Anyway enough dribble...this of course leave me plenty of time to check email, websurf, play a few games here and there, get hit with sticks in armor, and build wood furniture...

So what does all this mean...I am rip roaring ready to be on the SEV beta test team...

get hit with sticks in armor,

Are you in the SCA? (If you don't know what that is, then you aren't in it)

49 today. And still looking for the top of the hill. If I don't get there soon, I'll have to turn around and go back the way I came.

I'm fourty and just starting to realize that, yes, I'm fourty.
