I'm making a computer screen cake for my brother who has just got his degree results and I'd like the text to be geek-correct IYSWIM

eg

C:\well done @ 2:1

(brother's name) BSc
clever pants

or something like that

Could anyone translate into mock techy-speak for me please?

001100100011101000110001 is 2:l in binary using 2 and 1 as charcters and not numbers.....

Or you could use something like
00000010:00000001

This is something code like:

Person myBrother = new Person("brother's name");
myBrother.Qualifications.Add("BSc");
myBrother.Alias = "Clever Pants";

Or XML?

BSc
2.1

clever pants

MadreInglese · 18/06/2010 14:43

that looks impressive too!

His degree was Computer Programming (I think!) would that lean towards a particular type flavour thingy version sort of code?

You could extend the code with....

while (!myBrother.Condition.Equals("Squiffy"))
{
myBrother.Stomach.Add(new Drink("Beer"));
}

Or something less alcholic

while (!myBrother.Stomach.Full)
{
myBrother.Stomach.Add(new Cake());
}

If he's done computer programming then the chances are that he'll understand the binary, "code" and the XML.

Thinking some more Binary is probably the most geeky, but few other people will understand it.

You could a longer message in binary but it also up a lot of room, 8 digits per letter of your message.

You could also do a message in Hex, which would be two characters per letter of your message.

BSc, for example would look like:
Hex: 425363
or
Binary: 100001010100111100011
