A LOCAL HABITATION ARC giveaway #1.

[seanan_mcguire]

Well, it's November. Rosemary and Rue has been available for two months, and has been performing pretty well, thus making me feel slightly less like I need to spend all my time flailing. And I have the ARCs for A Local Habitation, which means it's time for...

An ARC giveaway!

To enter to win a copy of A Local Habitation, please comment on this entry. That's all; just comment. I'll be selecting a winner via random drawing on Saturday, so as to give people plenty of time to chime in with their burning desire to have the second Toby book in their hot little hands. (Please remember that I really really really need you to buy the book even if you receive an ARC.) I'll sign it and everything.

Well, then: GAME ON!

(jeezus, how many ways do I know to make a comment in code? That just happens to be my favorite... :)

At work the other day someone asked for comments on a piece of code. I gave them:

/* C / C++ */
// C++, Java
{ Pascal }
C Fortran (in first column)
# most scripting languages
; assembler (various)
% some .rc files (e.g. SLRN)
" VIM files
' Visual Basic
rem DOS batch
dnl M4 (autoconf and the like)
-- SGML / XML DTD (within a tag) --
<!-- XML / HTML -->

I think I ran out at that point, having forgotten how to do them in Lisp and COBOL and VMS DCL...
