N:/uff, we say

Dan Davies at INPS thwarts our desire to bring the directory listing topic to a close by giving us a listing of every letter of the alphabet in the same format, which deserves a wider audience.
We can’t print them all because of space, but the highlights: B:\forMutton; C:\forMiles; I:\forTheEngine; L:\forLeather; R:\forMo and X:\forBreakfast.

Regarding "Talking in maths":

Roger's brother here in California.

Dad passed away last weekend. Here is a bit of C code for him (I think he would have enjoyed it):

bool ourDad = true;
bool godBotherer = !ourDad;
bool stillGoingStrong = true;
while (stillGoingStrong) {
DoMath();
DrinkAPintOfBeer();
WriteProgram();
HaveADrambuie();
WatchOldMovieOrTVSitCom();
TellOldStory();
stillGoingStrong = IsBreathing() &&
HasHeartBeat();
}
if (godBotherer) {
GoodLuck();
}
LiveOnInMemoryBank();
