(#ifbiyuq) @prologic@twtxt.net Let me think. Three things come to mind. I wasn’t aware of all the history of ASCII and the exact reasons why some symbols are placed where they are. Pretty genious. Also the French Russian pen friend parcel is a cool story I never ran across.

Although there are a bunch of Ukrainian license plates around here, I never wondered why I actually could read all of them without issues. Nice trick to just limit the Cyrillic script to the ones that look like Latin letters.

Also the bad switch dropping a byte every now and then and this way producing Chinese characters was really fun. Good to know, it would have never occurred to me. Not in a hundred years.

I’m sure there are many more things I learned and already forgot again. :-)
