Two small things today.First-- today I learned that the line "s%%%g;"* in a Perlscript, which should do nothing, will actually cause otherwise inexplicable problems. Learning this took me about an hour, which is sad, but at least the script works now, which is a good thing.
Second, I verified that Bacon numbers are calculated using film roles only, which is sad, because I also learned that if they included stage performances as well, I would have a Bacon number of 4.
*Basically, the line means s(earch) for the character string between the first two percent signs, replace it with the character string between the second and third percent sign, and do it g(lobally) throughout the document. So it should have replaced nothing with nothing, and therefore done nothing (it had been left in by accident anyway). Instead, it caused random bits of file to disappear.
What are the links? (If it included team-teaching a class I'd probably have one, but otherwise....)
ReplyDeletePaul Phillips, our orchestra director, was an uncredited extra in a scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger who has a Bacon number of 2.
