Lifehack: The elevator

Writing in from office since house Streamyx is down again in 2 months. I'll write about this further in the next post.

Not too long ago i read something about elevators. If you are living in KL, there is high chances that you need to use elevators daily.

Here is one tip which may or may not work. I've tried this at Alpha Condo and it doesn't seem to work and the few little chance at work seems to work fine. However, it's not recommended unless you are in an emergency cause an elevators' a public facility eh?

Reminds me of one of the games i played on Genius gameconsole(Source: http://www.retrogamesforever.com)

The trick is to hold the close button and your target level of choice while the elevator is moving. This will probably work for certain models of elevators.

It isn't really rocket science. But if you are into programming you will probably catch the drift here.

Do you program for elevators to ignore inputs if > one (or neccessary) buttons are pressed at the same time together?
If you press the 'close' button in an elevator what is the effect? It will close the door (if not already closed). How about if you press your target level?
Then consider that if someone presses both close and their target level and hold it. There you have it.

Never get far into the higher levels but still was fun hehe(Source: http://www.retrogamesforever.com)

There is also complexity of multiple elevators. It's not as simple as the microcontroller project during our engineering student days lab project where we program a single elevator in assembly code and it's barely working/understandable. Maybe we are a little dense in the head or our instructors are numbskulls haha.

Anyway, there you have it. Lifehack (love the word) on elevator.
