Now, where have I heard that before? lol
(your pint is in the post... let's hope Postie isn't doing your round!)
I suppose I'd better admit that I'm a geek and prove my credentials:

If anyone feels the urge to translate that back into english or to work out their own geek code (or simply wants to know what all the gibberish is all about), then version of the geek code can be found here .
I would post my geek code, but I can't be arsed to write it all out again.

Don't blame you fjb. I tried deciphering Deviated Preverts and got as far as erm.. W+++ before my eyes went :crazy:

Looks suspiciously like a program that reads a file and writes it out again, with a load of D&D related variables declared at the top.

you have created a male geek club everyone is admiting to being a geek.I think there maybe imposters,why not create a true geek test?A bit like the goverment creating a british citzen test. smile This would sort out the geeks from the boys!
As a fellow geek I fully endorse this posting!

Simon! You're a geek as well??!! Get your bloody hair cut :lol2: (sorry, private joke ;))
Yeah geeky hippy guy, Hadn't you guessed Angel? I'm even using a comic character as an avatar on here, couldn't find any D&D ones lol. On another topic(ish), its still geeky, isnt the new Kate Bush album wonderfull? Answers on a postcard to the usual address
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohh dear.
<Looks at self>
Yes, I'm a geek too. Not that anyone who knows me a bit didn't know it.
The facts that I can count 20-odd languages I've programmed in but had fewer girlfriends than I can count on my fingers (in binary too of course! rolleyes ), and considering I'm 30 next year; yep..
Although I'm trying to convert! Honest! I've been clubbing twice in the last 2 months (er... only cos they were fetish clubs smile ) and - danced! - yes, it does happen lol One of the last crazy 'vanilla' things I did was go shopping with a mate to our nearest big town at midnight to get him a Nintendo DS on day of release.. Oh, there's other things too but that's just pure geek for you. There are different types of nerds and geeks but computer nerds, I thought, are some of the most celebrated (if that's a good adjective to go with it).
--------
Oh and the code - yes it reads a file in byte by byte and outputs it to stdout, rather inefficiently; and I don't believe that '1e' thing will do much 'cos it would need a 0x1e instead to be properly interpreted as a single byte EOF. Which isn't the standards-compliant way to check for end of file anyway. You're kind of already doing it with () in the while() condition. It also outputs a new line after so it's not quite a no-effect filter.
Do I get a sip of the free pint?

You can have the free pint as your explanation is far better than mine and I don't drink anyway. In my defence I'd point out that I'm a sysadmin who programs occasionally rather than an expert code monkey.

Fair enough. I'm more of a programmer with a little bit of sysadmin skills (and not really much of a network admin). It's all the sys-admin skills people need when your friends/random people say "oh he's the computery one around here he'll know how to fix it" with all their PC problems. But I survive. It's almost like asking a racing driver to work on your saloon's air conditioning for you. Not quite the same job (maybe I exaggerate the difference a bit, and perhaps some drivers could; but it's to make a point).
By the time we were anywhere close enough for you to buy me a pint (say, at a munch, should/if you go to them) unless you're a likely respondent to my ads and not too far away; it would be a very stale pint. I therefore do the decent thing and offer to let you buy one for me and drink it yourself. Can't go wasting all that beer/whatever now can we? smile

Don't worry I only got a vague guist of what it said... now had it been written in 6502 assembler, or RPG/400 (and no thats not role play game, lol) or (ducks for cover(see ), C#) I may have understood it in greater detail ;-)
While c# is a rip off of java and which is a rip off of C++ language with automatic memory allocation and de-allocation solving many of the problams associated with C and C++ where the "language" is unable to check the validity at the creation of the executable code, and basic which is also a p-code language which is clumsy but allows you to be as inefficient as you want with no problems except through logistical flow I find its abbility to be typecast and introspection to be far better than java especially its ability to handle and assign values to data objects without actually knowing the type of said objects... which is great untill you assign an incorrect type, lol.
OK, I'm an ex code cutter nerd, now I'm an erotic photographer (pornographer in laymans terms)... I still get to work with naked varables, just they happen to be a lot more interesting than the ones in a computer, just as temprimental at times though and often prone to incorrect type casting, pointers going off into space, incorrectly constructed and destructed varables, and often leave a mess that requires garbage collection.... OH SHIT i'm still a NERD!!!! lol.

Well this woman's mind must be different from the women's minds you have experienced, 'coz this woman likes geeks and is not ashamed to admit it :D lol

Brilliant! Very clever, piercedJon. I think even without doing a great job at the comparison you've proved your a nerd, just by trying to find those pun-inducing ways they're alike. The fact you've succeeded so well is just the cherry on top. Do you mind if I correct your spelling for you? (doh! spelling nerd strikes… ← note the html entities)
In everyone's defence, the program was half complete and being used to debug so there's a few loose ends here and there, but if Breezer and DP want to buy each other a pint............... lol :lol:

Oh yesssssssssssssss :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Oh I want my very own Nerd :bounce: I shall love him and hug him and pet him and kiss him feed him sweets and I shall call him George cool
I've got so many wires in this place, half of em aren't connected to ANYTHING, but daren't move them in case something breaks down :shock: Oh what I would give for my very own Nerd :rose:
PS - Do Nerds also clean out gutters, go up ladders at xmas light time n drill things? 8-) dunno
I had a geek once but I gave him up for talking about computer stuff all the time..... even through sex. :shock: His idea of a kinky night in was rewiring the PC. :doh:
I'll pass on this one, you other girlies can have my share of geek all to yourselves! biggrin
I'd rather have geeks as lover or friends, not longterm boyfriends.

I'd like to point out that not all geeks are that bad, certainly I've never talked about computers during sex. I'll admit though that I gave up going out drinking in order to save up for the bits to build my first PC many years ago.

I just took Flapjackboy's geek test and it claims I'm an 'Extreme Geek', probably because it was able to expose the fact that as well as a computer geek I'm also an inveterate roleplayer and science/maths nerd.

Only the rare breed of adventurer nerds. Those with stubble, whips and a hairy chest wink :rascal:
