i managed to skip the P1/P2 system :banana:

same here.

I ror'd so much I suffered a bit of incontinence when I saw Penny's post

Glad you blanked my surname from my Uni Maths test.

:banana: thats funny as..........looks like something i would do lol :D

Wish I thought of something as smart ass as that for my end of year 12 exam for maths... probably all I could think of was shit shit shit shit shit shit shit WHAT THE f**k IS THAT! etc

yeah im not mathematically inclined

so i did quantative methods instead... and that was actually interesting... learning about critical path project management, statistics and complex graphs...

algebra still reduces me to a whimpering heap.... quantum particle physics is easier to rationalize ;P

I had the same reaction to my maths 1 and 2 exam in year 12 Vu

and i think i almost did what pete did lol

math, i sux'd at in high school

went to advanced electronic eng school with avionics and spacecraft specialty,, truck loads of really advanced math what was i thinking..lol, made perfect sense in college.they taught it so much better plus you got to build and design cool stuff with it.. not just theory.

I think i have a masters degree in partying/beer chugging..lol frat house fun

Maths, geez, i failed that in year 12....and tourism, only because i hardly went to the classes....so i didn't get my sace :D

18 months at tafe doing Electrotechnology was interesting, maths was also a pain in the ass, but at least it was fun making circuits and making stuff blow up :banana:

I think its easier to learn something when you have some kind of physical application to cross reference...

You can read about something as much as u want, unless you actually see how it works in real life you won't understand the references

At least thats what I've found about myself... I could read a whitepaper 10 times and still not understand it.... attempt to implement it on a running machine, while maybe breaking the system, I'd usually do it in half the time it'd take me to read the damn manual.... then again im a linux engineer by trade and the documentation often sucks so learning the systems yourself are usually the best route anyhow

-D

EDIT : Hehe Abe, I never got my sace either, but the sad thing is, if you quit year 10 and did a 6 months Cert 3 in >anything< at TAFE, it was actually higher on the IQ meter than the SACE. So, it would have been better for me to have left highschool after year 10, do a 2 year diploma of IT at tafe, and then skip two years at a university course (if that was the course i was going to take - for what I do they don't really have applicable uni courses sadly)

I have a Cert III in Electrotechnology Computer Engineering and Component Assembly.

I find that by doing things myself, i learn quicker then reading or listening about it....but still sometimes have to go to the instructions. Its surprising how easy a pc is to put together, but we still get people coming into work wanting us to fix there mistakes...all the hardware comes with instructions, if it doesn't fit read them and don't force it....enough of my uneducated ramblings :D

Its not that you're uneducated, its more so that the education system in australia had a big shift to the right when they introduced subsidized uni education and encouraged all the kids to take uni grad courses in order to get the country smarter... they succeeded, but they did it at the expense of tradesmen/artisans... which is why I know guys who lay tiles in bathrooms now who earn more than some psychologists... its one of the reasons that uni graduates in certain IT fields are scorned, because in many cases the real world experience is worth more than any amount of study... and my company prioritises people with industry level qualifications from Cisco, Microsoft, Redhat and Novell/Suse, way ahead of any uni course... there are no prerequisites to take the tests, so if you know your stuff you can get those certifications (provided you also part with 4 figures >:banana:)

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
