I do make the occasional bugfix or feature addition to groff, but they're very simple fixes. But if it can be done with a script, I give it a shot anyway. Let the computer do the repetitive stuff, right?<br /><br />*chuckle* Great nicknames. Besides those who appear on the blog, I occasionally nickname someone I run across in the rest of the world who stands out. There was a young woman at the Subway near the office a couple years ago, who had a rather unfriendly attitude & enough metal in her head to set off detectors from outside the airport — I called her Ms. Pierce.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-44873457643977684162010-08-22T18:09:35.330-04:002010-08-22T18:09:35.330-04:00Far, one could assume that your excellent crisis-m...Far, one could assume that your excellent crisis-management and -defusing skills probably make you excellent at coding too.<br /><br />My household is quiet (I live alone) but the neighbors here are often quite entertaining. Some of us (longer-term tenants in the apartment building, the neighbors from across the street and next door, etc) work out nicknames to describe the many transients that come and go. The current girl next door is a returning visitor whose nickname is Tramp Stamps. She's a 30-something chickie who's got tons of tattoos plus heavy hearing damage from working with the ER/fire crews (not sure what she does exactly). She's got a string of fireman/policeman type BF's who show up in their monster pickup trucks now & then. Being partway deaf, she's as oblivious on the shared-noise issue as smokers are on the shared-stench issue of their disgusting habit.<br /><br />Other past notables here include Manson Lamps + Doormat, Frat Boy, the Winchentucky Twins, Vampirette, and the Jailbait Ex-Cons. It's never dull! :(Nudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513472441473206482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-88155780427551508742010-08-22T16:40:55.953-04:002010-08-22T16:40:55.953-04:00To be honest… probably!To be honest… probably!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-78575188188157903582010-08-22T13:53:21.385-04:002010-08-22T13:53:21.385-04:00Err, Far, you'd be bored if it was dull at hom...Err, Far, you'd be bored if it was dull at home, right? :)<br /><br />(ducks)Nudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513472441473206482noreply@blogger.com
