What’s in a Page?

So, today while previewing Skyler’s “Win Our Wii” drawing results page, I happened to notice that Jason’s blue sheet (Jason is a programmer and blue sheets are how we keep track of what we’re getting done in a day) had a whole giant column of ones and zeros on it. Acknowledging that it was some type of code, I asked… “So, what’s with all the ones and zeros?” To which I received a shockingly blank stare.

“It’s binary code,” said Jason… and I was like: “Yeah, I’ve heard of it.”  —  A Dynamic Edge Miracle.

What I hadn’t been told was that you could use these codes of ones and zeros to tell a web page to grant or deny users access to certain pages within a web domain, and when I saw how he was ordering them to do the preceding, it actually made sense to me. — Another Dynamic Edge Miracle.

On a side note, I figured out on my own how to update the content of the DeCON website, which is exactly the same as updating this blog… (but I didn’t know, and nobody had given me the instructions) so I felt really good about this. Today is turning out to be a red-letter day
