"gen" from "generics", which is a programming concept.

A generic is a structure that can take something of any type. To specify which type it takes, the syntax is like this:

Structure<type>

So the <> are used for generics, and are thus genackets.

Both from here

OOh, new sig and name Mr. Khang! Whats the script on your sig?

Wycoval · Post by **Wycoval** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 1:54 pm

It isn't a script, its a font: 'pagina.de / toolband'

Cool font, though.

Sounds erotic...what is it?

quentin · Post by **quentin** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 6:12 pm

The surface of a leaf or of a flattened thallus.

Note that it's <th>, not <ph> so it's not really very erotic.

I'm confused.....

i.e. it doesn't say "phallus" in the definition, but rather "thallus". "Phallus" could perhaps be erotic, but I don't like to imagine one being flattened.

Nono, I got that (and pagina), but what's up with Khang? And where's that font; I don't see it.

quentin · Post by **quentin** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 8:33 pm

Look in Xadim's signature.

Delalyra · Post by **Delalyra** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 8:35 pm

Oh, Xadim = Khang? Ok. Unfortunately for me, there's a little red x, no pretty font. But thanks for explaining.

quentin · Post by **quentin** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 8:46 pm

I don't know if Xadim = Khang or not, but the font with "pagina" in can be seen in Xadim's signature.

Khang's had Xadim ever since he was QangTaq and Ota and all the rest and loads of people were like "Ban Qang".

quite

I decided yesterday (because of a strange mood) to log in as Xadim, I may find myself doing this from time to time because I get bored easily and in this very boring place it is a small way to do something different. However, I am infact not going to use Ota or Sergeant as I don't think I remember the passwords correctly and no one wants those accounts around anyway. I am Xadim, I am Khang, I am your friendly neighbor. I hope no one has any problems with me using the Xadim account from time to time, if so I'm sure I'll hear about it soon enough.

love ya

-Khang

I don't mind; my point is you've had it for years now. I think you're cool, don't worry....

)?
