This forum tries to be ~~especially friendly towards~~ straightforwardly even-handed with* those for whom simple-minded binary gender doesn't work; that said, the question is not posed as a binary choice, so I guess people can either answer with the detail they choose or just ignore the survey if they prefer.

* Wording updated to avoid implication of favouritism.

Got it. It's easier to type (and pronounce, for that matter) as mtmerrick anyway. I like things that are easy to type. :psyduck:
Title: Re: Survey time!
Post by: mtmerrick on 25 Apr 2013, 03:23: You can just call me mtm if you want. Most people I know online (except from this forum, clearly) call me that. It's even simpler than primo. :P

Post by: ChaoSera on 25 Apr 2013, 03:48: Fair enough. I always thought Evangelion was a strange show, but that might just be me not being into anime in general.
On the other hand it's one of the few animes I didn't think was straight down bad...

3rd semester of my Bachelor.

The KIF is a half-yearly conference of the student body representations of the CS students. It also, quite intentionally, sounds a bit like the verb for smoking weed. There are others for other fields of study, like
* KoMa (conference of the math students),
* ZaPF (congregation of all physics students),
* SETh (Student council for Evangelical Theology),
* PIT (the city planners) and
* TaCoS (conference of the Computer Linguistics Students).

Post by: ankhtahr on 26 Apr 2013, 05:42: The combination of KIF and KoMa is particularly interesting. When this friend of mine is asked, what he's doing then, he answers "KIF/KoMa", which sounds like "Kiffkoma" which could be interpreted as "weed induced coma".

Well, af any of you intend to visit the 30C3, shoot me a message!

sidenote: The 30C3 is the "30th Chaos Communication Congress". It's a huge hacker convention, organised by the German CCC (Chaos Computer Club), with lots of interesting talks, which will take place between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

Good to know I'm set to even out! :-D Assuming my boyfriend and I make it that long, it'll hopefully hit him before hitting me.

When I was dying of pneumonia several years ago Ackblom12, to whom I am married, was playing through Bioshock. I was delirious or asleep for most of the day, but when he came home from work, after he made me drink a cup of broth, I would whine "play the movie game" until he moved from his computer desk to the sofa, and then I would fade in and out of sleep curled up next to him while he played.

I still call it the movie game, even though I now possess the faculties to remember the real title.

Title: Re: Survey time!
Post by: Loki on 29 Apr 2013, 07:34: All HTML-codes do.

It's usually not a problem. The standard filter goes like this:

1) Ignore normal symbols. Find a special symbol that can be replaced with an equivalent of the form &whatever;
2) Replace that symbol by &whatever;
3) If there are other symbols, go to 1.
4) You are finished.

After that, you will have a text that:
was entered as <&>
was replaced by <&>
The browser sees it as <&> in the HTML and displays it as <&>, so that's all fine.

The problems start if you apply the filter two times. Then your text:
was entered as <&>
was replaced by <&>
was then replaced &lt;&amp;&gt;
The browser sees it as &lt;&amp;&gt; in the HTML and displays it as <&> on your screen (like you can see in ackblom12's post).

5'9" (I seem to be on the short side for guys on here. Of course, my dad and grandfather are 5'4" and 5'2", respectively, so it could be much worse. My growth spurt came very late (summer between freshmen/sophomore year in HS), so most of my childhood I assumed I would be short like my dad. I was 4'11" at the end of my freshman year. I then proceeded to grow over 6" in just over a year. There were a lot of growing pains associated with that. Mostly as a result of no longer being able to walk right under things like cupboard doors and tree branches without ducking... I then continued to grow at a more sedate pace until about 21 (I just had to grow that last inch after 18, so that I had to purchase new dress uniforms even though the ones I was issued at basic were still in perfect condition)).

Other: I also enjoy parentheses (as is probably apparent). Other than that I enjoy basketball, tennis, computer gaming (especially RPG's and turn-based strategy), and reading (I am a stickler for physical books, my collection is already approaching a small library, and a large portion of my disposable income goes into books. And I read every single one of them.).
