Excellent, may have to steal this!

To the above poster: i suspect very few of us humble plods speak/understand binary. What the hell are you on about?

Fee said...

that was binary? I thought someone had had a 'twitchy fingers' episode at the keyboard by mistake ....

That might explain my poor marks in Maths exams, though.

For the original post, we have a similar, if unnamed system at my work, equating to those who remember last recession, etc. Probably with the same timescales. I'm currently Gold, moving to Platinum next spring. Yeehah.

Puppet says "how bloody true", he probably got the idea from the footer of this website which gives the blog's title.

The 011 tells us that it is a lowercase character and the rest tells us what letter of the alphabet.

Binary is becoming popular now as people tend not to like people who use 1337 5|*34|<
