Bob Bermer the inventor of ASCII passed away today.

This reminds me of one of the all time best signs I've ever seen.



For those of you who aren't fluent, here's a cheat sheet.

Dude, that should be in hex if you want anyone to be able to read it. :-)

Fixed just for the folks you prefer hex. I'm not going to bother with octal or binary, so don't even ask ;-)

I think you meant 0x52 0x49 0x50 0x42 0x6F 0x62, not 0x52 0x49 0x50 0x42 0x7F 0x62. And probably 0x52 0x49 0x50 0x20 0x42 0x6F 0x62 for readability. Damn, I'm geek. :-p

I meant, Damn, I'm _a_ geek. Chris no type good and rue lack of preview button.

I dunno, I think "geek" as an adjective could catch on in a big, chic way.
