on half bakery, lets call it something too....post your ideas here!!! œ b, or ¹baked² strike back at those 37337 /.'ing 13a$t3r|]$-- cybercyph, Aug 14 2000 We've got Bakery/2, but that's still a bit long. B/2?-- bookworm, Aug 14 2000 ...or not B/2. That's the question...-- bookworm, Aug 15 2000 'Slashdot' came from the punctuation '/.'. I like '.5bakery', and typing a whole eight characters doesn't bother me...-- StarChaser, Aug 18 2000 "bak"
3 chars, seperate fingers, quick, simple, stupid. confusing?-- absterge, Aug 18 2000 What about making it "oneslashtwobaked" and for extra pizzaz you could caps every other letter and stand on your head while typing!-- Wraith7n, Feb 05 2001 ...or not.-- Wraith7n, Feb 05 2001 H/B - simple and effective.
Shouldn't this idea be re-named "Standardized Halfbakery Abbreviation"?-- Jim, Sep 20 2001, last modified Sep 21 2001 The best symbol would be the IPA code for a "rounded back open vowel", in Unicode LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED ALPHA, number 0x0252, which has the form of the bottom half of the letter B.
Of course, a thin letter E or thin number 3 would each resemble half of a B, sliced vertically.
Wow, recommending unicode characters is dull.-- pottedstu, Jul 05 2002 We could just assign one of the private use code points to be the Halfbakery Symbol, and use it wherever appropriate. (There's no need to actually design a glyph for it.)
There's a bakery near where I live which has an awning which is slowly losing its letters. The B and A are gone and the K is looking tattered. So it's nearly a half bakery. Soon, soon...-- wiml, Jul 05 2002 random, halfbakery
