It baffles me that so many people can agree with the common understanding that symbolic constants are preferable to sprinkling numeric literals throughout their code, and yet still simultaneously somehow think that space indenting is a good idea.

I keep a dedicated, well-backed-up filesystem for relatively important documents of (at least potential) long-term significance -- mortgage, tax records, job contracts, etc. (This is not terribly noteworthy.)

Anyway, recent events have precipitated some somewhat memorable entries in my shell history:

$ cd ~/docs
$ mkdir -p kids/kid0

(A more conventional name for the latter will probably be chosen in a few months.)
