Once I was on vacation at an island resort in the middle of nowhere. I wasn't even thinking about programming, but an idea for a chunk of code popped into my mind. I had to write it down for later testing, so I found a piece of light-colored driftwood and a twig with a burnt end (from a fire pit on the beach). I wrote code on the driftwood and carried it back to my room to later transcribe onto notebook paper. It wasn't until a couple weeks later that I actually put the code into a computer.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
