A while ago I heard from Jenny that The Register (A techy online rag from the UK) was reporting on a vote for a new Barbie doll

Well the results are in Barbie is getting techy:

  2. I've just done something very geeky after reading the register comments...

    Her screen reads 'Barbie' (repeated) if you convert the binary into ASCII. Very subtle.

  6. That would be nice Bree :) I wonder what the guys in the office would make of that (on top of the nail file, nails etc... )

  7. My office were fine with my announcing I have to get one.

    Of course, I'd just told them about the binary-to-ASCII conversion at the time :)

  8. Given all the trans folk who seem to work in IT, are you sure this isn't Ken in his weekend attire? :)

  9. Jenny: So you are not geeky enough to convert the binary until you need it!

    Lynn: If Ken could pull off the outfit I'd be impressed :)

  10. Hey, never do anything yourself when someone else has already done it!
