It was interesting, he kept the heavy math bits out of the lecture so i could understand it. ( well not so I myself could understand it, but as a consequence of him keeping the math bits out, i was able to understand it. )

I’ve been slowly reading through his MMIX paper, it has been interesting, although i have had to take detours to understand some things that he takes for granted.

Shad sent me this today :

KNUTH!!!
