No, not another Swedish>UTF encoding problem, but how a section of the previous Missing Ham Lasagne Post looks in morse code! Quite why you would want to represent web site text in dots and dashes is currently beyond me, but should you also feel the need, head on over here.

Similarly, if you want to develop a crick in your neck, there is also a utility to turn all the text on a page upside down. That one is here. This one has a little more potential, as a joke to play on your more slow witted friends, first thing in the morning. Alternatively, check if your tech support guys at work have a sense of humour by reporting a fault with your PC, and show them your company’s site upside down.

Finally, if your head ever wanders in random directions as well, you can check out how the cyrillic alphabet is represented in morse code at this wiki.

    Great post Chris, I stumbled it. One thing, the link to the Morris Code site is bad. I followed it and it didn’t work.

    Love the upside down link. when my partner leaves I am doing that to her page just to see the reaction.

    Thanks for the heads up, I’ve corrected the link – it had a word before the http bit and so got screwed up.
    PS Not ignoring your e-mail re. Entre Card, just trying to clear down some work first.
