Who distributes things as .ps files anyway?

Terrorists, that's who.

TeX junkies, that's who.

I didn't even notice it was ps until your post. I just clicked the link, and it showed up in the browser. Is your browser broken?

That does not happen in Firefox 3 or Opera 9.5, so I suspect yours is the one that's broken :)

Quite lengthy, but even as a non-Lisper I can see the sense in it. Most of those suggestions apply equally well to other languages.

I code in Ruby these days, and elegant, beautiful code is part and parcel. I can totally identify with:

"Pick out any three lines in my program, and I can tell you where they're from and what they do" David McDonald
