Today

  A few things about today:-

1. It is the day that 14 years ago my wife and I moved from the UK to the US.
2. One half of the two guys that invented the programming language that I've used most of my career (or at least a derivation of it) died today. Dennis Ritchie invented the C language and large parts of the UNIX operating system. He was 70.
3. My favourite actress Kate Walsh is 44 today.
4. Wikipedia seems overly concerned with plane crashes when listing historical things that happened today.
5. Apparently Margaret Thatcher, one of my least favourite women, was also born today.
6. I started working as a temporary employee of the company I am still at around about today 18 years ago (I forget the exact date).

  Anyway, enough fascinating things about today. I'm sure other people have much more interesting thing going on today than I do so back to work it is with me.
