No, but for 100UKP I'll post up to three letters a year until it's finished.

But it'll only be 8-bit ASCII not 16-bit Unicode.

Unregistered user I was working on more smileys for TIB, but the number of possibilities are huge...

This is when I started work on the RISC OS Avatar system, so I could get it to create all the combinations for me - smileys that actually look a bit like the person writing the message.

I remember looking at this a while back and it looked a good idea and you have a desktop application for it, looking at your website.
Yes, it would be good to have custom smileys for IB readers although it may become too awash with images.
You look at certain band discussion boards and they mind-boggling at first and it does detract a bit from the purpose.
Maybe expand the set of avatars available so that people can choose one in their signature etc.

P.S. Are you auditioning for Highlander 4?

3 had some rapper (the same one that was a kangeroo in Tank Girl) as some forgotten buried sorcerer, and 4 was Lambert handing the reins over to Adrian Paul. Only the first one was any good though, so don't exert yourself too much remembering all this wink

And a parsley-like smell to under-clothes cool

Ah!

Remember Parsley the lion? He didn't wear underclothes though.

Neither do I!

Ew! Way too much information thanks!

<blockquote>I just don't understand about the chives.</blockquote>

Chives (Allium schoenoprasum)

Description
Chives are small, dainty, onion-like plants that grow in clumps reaching about 10 inches in height. They are a hardy perennial with decorative, light purple flowers.

Culture
Chives demand little care other than dividing when they become overcrowded. They are easily propagated by division or from seed and make attractive border plants.

Harvesting
Cut fresh leaves for use as they grow.

Use
Chives are used to impart a delicious, subtle, onion-like flavor to foods.
