PHP has seven datatypes: string, integer, float, boolean, array, object, and resource. I was looking for a simple word whose letters worked out to be the first letter of each of those seven types. So in bash:


$ for w in `permute "sifbaor"`; do grep $w /usr/share/dict/words; done


This was the output:


fibrosarcoma
myxofibrosarcoma
boarfish


Hmmm, no exact match, but boarfish ain’t bad:


b = boolean
o = object
a = array
r = resource
f = float
i = integer
s = string
h = .... well, just forget about h

My son shipped off to Iraq yesterday. He is part of the 3′rd Infantry Division from Fort Benning, GA. This is his first tour of duty.

I just got an email from him. They just arrived in Kuwait. He expects to be there for a week or two before they transfer to a new Forward Operating Base (FOB) somewhere south-west of Baghdad.

Right now the only means of contact I have with him is the occasional email. If you want to be able to send him a message please let me know and I’ll give you his email address.
