Some of you may have heard of geek code amongst unix users. It goes in
their sig files and allows other unix users to be able to quickly
identify what skill levels and interest a person has. Here is an
example of geek code taken from http://www.geekcode.com/

I was thinking maybe we could come up with a simular code for aus.tv
posters ie what types of shows we are into and so forth. Any thoughts
on if this is a good or shit idea and what sort of catergories could be
in there are welcome.

Sounds like a fun idea. I have saved the code to print out later when I
buy a new ink cartridge for my printer :)
And where was I found 15 minutes before midnight?? Snuggled up (and very
intoxicated) underneath my computer by my daughter, she woke me up just
in time to see the new year in (gulping down red creaming soda as I had
a bad case of 'dry horrors' :{
Happy New Year 2K (hey no bugs got me! :D )
