Comments

I had it on my list to post a reminder of this today as well-- looks like you beat me to it.

I'm curious to see other's guesses here. My personal hunch is that he is going to declare TeX complete, and move the version number to Pi (as he had planned to do upon his death.)

Don't you mean tau/2?

Maybe he's declaring the project finished early so as to avoid the upcoming pi/tau bloodshed :-)

I gather you say that pi/tau jokingly.

You're tau/pi funny

Or a pi/tau wit.

Well... My old cd burner was a tau/pi. Does that count?

ObOntopic: it most lilkely is him declaring version pi.

Huh?

A tau/pi = atapi Just a bad joke.
