IPA is what they sell at the pharmacy. Was that a hand sanitizer?

Don't you normally carry your boys with you?
My local Total Wine claims to have it-but they've been 'mistaken' b4(Innis&Gunn).
Back to school this week which should have been last week. Taking a one on one arranging class and playing in the combo. Fun stuff!
I picked "A Foggy Day" for the arranging project. This was one of the first jazz tunes I learned. Doing the project as an instrumental with 4 horns and rhythm section. I've arranged about 15 tunes but there is always stuff to learn and improve.
This book is required for the class and is pretty good. The school book store was out and couldn't get it until next week and at a higher price so I ordered from Amazon.

I don't understand Amazon Prime trials. They have an offer for one week at 1.99 but at checkout you can get 30 days free. Well, that's a tough decision! I took the free again to get the book on Sat. There is not enough in Prime for me to make it worth the fee. I seldom need anything in two days, don't stream movies or music, I can get Kindle books on loan from the library, if I want a specific book I'll buy it.
You also get Amazon TV and cloud storage with Prime.

You can look for DNA sequences in data with grep. Then you'd be grepped by a grepper.

Deliver us from vi
I AM the grepper!
Christmas 1983 had me in Coundon, Bishop Auckland, County Durham just south of Newcastle. I spent 2 weeks with the English lass I met in Spain. Every pub we went in, I only had to say a couple of words and they'd fall all over themselves to buy me a pint. "E's a bloody Yank!" I loved England except it was cold as hell. The Guinness is a whole 'nother animal from what we get stateside. You can't drink it straight, you'd have to chew it, it's so thick. The go-to cut was Bass Ale. I never did develop a taste for piss warm beer, though.
Some of the pubs we went into were full of Geordies. They'd try to talk to me but I couldn't decode them. I asked Lisa, my young love, what were they saying. She said hell if I know.
IDK, but it's at the Top in its field.
Exit/save. That's about all I remember. Been a looooonnnnngggg time.

Except on a PC. I got my hands on the multi-platform source code for VI. I stripped it of all multi-platform support, added doubly-linked lists for line management (I wanted to be able to scroll backward as well; I wasn't worried about memory consumption) and PC-specific display code. I had written a couple of VGA display apps that PC Magazine picked up and included on one of their freebie disks that came with the mag, that I repurposed for VI. They added the native 28, 40 and 50 lines/screen modes supported by the VGA card.
At the time (early '90s), it was the best code editor for DOS. Nothing commercially available came close. Having the source to my code editor was wonderful. I made it do exactly what I needed. I used it professionally for years.
