# Sorry. As I said, no offence.
Just a bit of an in-joke. Could have explained better I suppose.

# We were just reminiscing.
Back in days gone by, if you used an HTML tag (say, <b>) in your post, without using the tag to close it, you'd manage to apply that attribute to the entire board below your post hence "TAGS!" and "Who broke the board?"

# I made my own programming language,
called Bonk many years ago. It was just for fun. But the only useful thing anyone ever wrote in it was a program that converted text into morse code. The source of that program looks like this:


$p="§ etinamsdrgukwohblzfcpöväxqüyjç56§7駧8§/§§§§§94§§§§§å§3§§ñ2§10§§§§§§§:§";

$d[2]*0+8;%l*0+115;%c*0;:a;g%b;i(%b=13);jo;i((%b!=8)|(%c=0));jb;%c-1;$i[%c]*0;
o"$d";:b;s<:c;jf;:c;i((%r=0)|(%b=167));ja;$i[%c]*0+%b;$j[0]*0+%b;o"$j";%c+1;ja;

i(%p>%l);s>pc;i!(%b=$s[%p]);jl;%r+%p;s>pc;:e;{Hopefully no comments are needed}


100% FACT!

# You, Sir
are truly a geek.

(Meant in a sort of awe-struck way)

# Well, I didn't write that
(although I think its the only Bonk program in existance that I didn't write). My "best" Bonk program was a two player draughts game.

# Hey, you wrote your own language
that's geeky enough to earn you a fairly large amount of respect from me.

# more than one :)
That wasn't as hard as another "just for fun" project. I invented a 6502 based computer, wrote an emulator (well enough to get a display up and read the keyboard) and then wrote a BASIC interpreter for it in 6502 assembler.

The guy also sent me the un-obfuscated version with comments and labels longer than 1 charactor. That makes a little more sense ;)

# The one thing you need to remember
is that we're not really all that harsh or mean, its just the medium of text which makes everything sound so serious.
