I tend to have files with names like foo, bar, or often
just a single letter, but I rarely give my variables names
like that. One thing you will find in my code a lot,
however, is '# TAMARA' and '#NUKEME'. The second one is
just for lines I want to remember to remove. The first
is just a habit I picked up from a friend whose sole
comments consisted of that. It's a good thing to grep
for since it isn't likely to be in my file for any other
reason.
These are of course only 'work in progress' comments
that are removed when I finish the program.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
