That could liberate a few quid...

I'm getting the general message that I'm spending too much time with
him. A solution is at hand, mind.

 

Will you need an alibi?

 

Several. But from you would probably not be sufficient.

 

Oi! No binaries!

 

and the rest, granddad.

 

I did, 'cos I was sad enough to google for a binary-to-English
translator.

Here, have a "LOL!"

 

Seems to be missing the last three characters, 'er.'.

 

Ha! I had to write one first.

 

Even if I could, I wouldn't.

 

I'm working on it. No parity bit, one stop bit, 8-bit EBCDIC, right? I'm
going to need another napkin, but so far it looks like it might be in
Turkish.

 

Bwahaha.

Most of these people haven't even heard of EBCDIC.

I get
Ƥƒ’@¨–¤k@¨–¤@†¤ƒ’‰•‡@†¤ƒ’@

 

for puffs.

proper coders used BCD, if they had to pander to non-binary readers.

 

Fooking cheater. It only takes a few lines of code:
data;
x='0100011001110101011000110110101100100000011110010110111101110101001011000010000001111001011011110111010100100000011001100111010101100011011010110110100101101110011001110010000001100110011101010110001101101011'
;
length eights1-eights30 $ 8 ;
length c $ 30 ;
array eights eights1-eights30 ;
do i = 1 to ((length(x)/8)) ;
eights(i)=substr(x,(i*8-7),8) ;
p=input(eights(i),binary8.) ;
substr(c,i,1)=byte(p);
end;
E=put(c,$EBCDIC34.) ;
put c= e= ;
run;

 

It don't look like any kind of code I've ever written.

 

I would have though your level of sophistication was along the lines
of:

10 PRINT "Chris is cool";
20 GOTO 10

 

It's Swiss-German...

That was a couple of years ago.

 

You understood it then?
