Hungarian Notation & The Intl. Space Station

Charles Simonyi of Microsoft Word fame is now orbiting the earth in the Intl. Space Station; he launched on April 7th 2007 on board a Soyuz TMA-10.

Think of Mr. Simonyi next time you see szStreetName, iNumrecs, or pMyStruct. That's Hungarian Notation (which he developed) for my fellow coding nerds. ;-)

BBC NEWS - American space 'nerd' blasts off: "A US software engineer has become the fifth space tourist after blasting off on board a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

Billionaire Charles Simonyi, 58, who led development of Microsoft's Word, lifted off from the Baikonur space station in Kazakhstan at 1731 GMT.

He is the 450th person to enter orbit and the $25m ride makes him, by his own admission, 'the first nerd in space'."
