in reply to I know English

How about this? We already have the location tag in the homenode. I'll add support for O/S, and list them on the stats page.

Add this HTML comment to your home node text. You can put in anywhere, except inside another HTML comment

<~-- os:TRSDOS,CP/M,NT,linux -->

Only the first 20 characters will be used in the tag, so list your OS's in descending order of experience or preference (favorite first). No checking for validity will be done. Tags will be picked up at 3:30AM EST, along with the location tags. Where the location tags required the checking of the significant update, the new scanner looks at everyone who logged in the preceeding 25 hours (yes, 25), so don't bother with the significant update box.

I'll add the display in the next day or two on the stats pages.

    How about adding support for Geek Code?

    If we tag it like:
    <!--
-----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK-----
Version: 3.1
GED/J d-- s:++>: a-- C++(++++) ULU++ P+ L++ E---- W+(-) N+++ o+ 
K+++ w--- O- M+ V-- PS++>$ PE++>$ Y++ PGP++ t- 5+++ X++ R+++>$ 
tv+ b+ DI+++ D+++ G+++++ e++ h r-- y++**
------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
-->

    you can make all kinds of (un)interesting statistics out of that, including OS preferences...

      well, for one thing...

      <!-- GSS/CS ... V-->--- -->

      where's the end of the comment going to be? (I'm not quite familiar enough with HTML to tell you offhand for sure.)

      Update: Turns out that the above code will print the last --- -->on the screen because it's already got the end of the comment tag (-->)... at least, that's what it thinks.
      I think it would be kinda cool to have Geekcodes on the Stats Page, it's just the implementation. jcwren, if you decide to do this, couldn't we just include the codes (and have em separated by the ----BEGIN GEEK CODE---- or however they begin, and then you can check em out in both places.

    Hi, just two things - It should be:

    <!-- os:TRSDOS,CP/M,NT,linux -->

    Also are these the only options we have?

    I have updated my homenode.
    This is fun!
