pretty cool! i think you should seperate hippies from the whole eugene equation, though... is it possible to loath hippies (and their more despicable brethren "gutter-hippies") and still love eugene? >On the topic of Eugene I think: >I'm allergic to trees, patchouli, political correctness and teargas. for instance, can i be allergic to patchouli, PC-ness and teargas, but love trees? -----Original Message----- From: larry a price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 9:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [EUG-LUG:2098] code of the geek (what's your code?) So I wrote up this little decoder script that i'll release at thursday's clinic (at efn and online) but I figured i'd release the grammar ahead of time so that everyone could have their code ready and so that their friends would already have the codes and that way the jokes will be funnier ;-} This will also give me a chance to wrap a cgi-script around it and test it a bit. Caveat: S* should really only be used by one person... mail me suggestions for other categories, oneliners for output etc. ---- Grammar For EugLugCode version 0.1 The very first version of the euglug code is pretty basic, it's a space separated list of tokens of the form <category><modifier> where <category> := S //six degrees of seth v // vi editor or illness e // the one true editor eug // Eugene and associations bsd // the other alternative OS gnu // the gnu, gnu thing and where <modifier> := + mildly positive ++ very positive +++ a tad obsessive * The Ultimate ? utterly clueless about - somewhat suspicious of -- against --- hate it ! The Anti The tokens can be in any order, but shouldn't be repeated as later instances of the same category will overwrite earlier ones. (this is a bug, code exploiting this feature won't work on future revs) A sample lugcode for someone who likes vi dislikes emacs knows seth loathes eugene and the GPL but likes BSD would be: v++ e-- S+ eug-- gnu--- bsd++ Which would compile to: >>> d = decoder() >>> cb = 'v++ e-- S+ eug-- gnu--- bsd++' >>> d.parse(cb) >>> d.show() On the topic of vi I think: vi's sensible command set and responsiveness keep me productive. On the topic of emacs I think: M-x doctor --if you're using emacs that much you need medical help. On the topic of Eugene I think: I'm allergic to trees, patchouli, political correctness and teargas. On the topic of Seth I think: I know who Seth is. On the topic of the GPL I think: Godless Programming Licentiousness, <foaming-at-mouth> this viral communistic threat to our precious... On the topic of BSD I think: cvsup; make world; is conceptually better than apt-get. >>> l@ _________ ae premise 1: The Truth Makes No Sense ( )__ pf ____( ) rn premise 2: Beauty Is Truth ( ) i. / / / / / / / / / / co conclusion: Beauty Is Unconscious / / / / / / / / / / er \@/ http://www.efn.org/~laprice g | __________________________/_\_______________________________________________ __
