Although a day late, a very happy birthday to Dennis Ritchie, the man who created C and UNIX. Amazing that one can can do so much. Surprisingly, Ritchie never got the kind of fame that Bill Gates and Steve Jobs did, perhaps because he did not build a fortune out of his creations. Also, his book "The C Programming Language" is exceptionally well written and easy to understand, even though I expected a man like him to communicate at a level way above normal mortals (Indians will still love Kanitkar's "Let us C" though).
