A Book Meme
Normally you’re supposed to tag the next people to carry on the meme, but in Flash’s instance, she didn’t. So here goes anyway…
If the connection between devices A and B breaks, then the devices know about it immediately because there is two-way communication between them, and they have now lost contact with one another
It’s not exactly nitty, gritty fiction, or classical prose. More along the lines of simple ring topology in O’Reilly’s “Designing Large Scale LANs”
The rules for this meme thing are :
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open it to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Other followers of this meme suggest several sentences from the book, and 5 nominees to go next. I’ll do the latter.

“In those circumstances, the participants relied totally on retinal image size in their judgements of object size.”
That would be from Principles of Cognitive Psychology by Michael W. Eysenck. There doesn’t seem much point in nominating people within your blog…
I’ve sorted the twitter follow issue. Not that I actually read stuff on Twitter though.
does anyone?
Perhaps it’s time to grow up.
Page 56 – damn, big table of numbers (Kenwood TH-F7E User Manual).
Okay, try another book – ah, two books that are exactly the same distance from me! A dilemma…
“God knows most of ‘em could do with some education, considering the drivel that’s served up to them as entertainment”. (George MacDonald Fraser – “McAusan in the Rough”)
