Weekly Chat Reminder
The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over ten years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but the chat goes on... and we want more recruits! Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion. We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly... -(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown. The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time. There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight hours after the start time. If no-one is there when you arrive just wait around a while for the next person to show up! If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to do is send your web browser to: http://wtgab.demon.co.uk/~brinl/mud/ ..And you can connect directly from the NEW new web interface! -- William T Goodall Mail : w...@wtgab.demon.co.uk Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ This message was sent automatically using launchd. But even if WTG is away on holiday, at least it shows the server is still up. ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
Recursion in C, as told by Kernigan, Ritchie, and Lovecraft
I really enjoyed this, but can't share it with my colleagues, since they wouldn't get either reference. Sometimes it's really a pain in the ass to be a programmer and English major working in a PR department as the graphics guy. http://www.bobhobbs.com/files/kr_lovecraft.html -- Warren Ockrassa | @waxis Blog | http://indigestible.nightwares.com/ Books | http://books.nightwares.com/ Web | http://www.nightwares.com/ ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

I suppose that would mean Assembly is the language of the Outer Gods.

I'm sure I can find some people who'll appreciate both references, and not just say that the followers of Cthuhlu should use different variable names for clarity. ---David ___ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
