Usability/Usability humor

A few weeks ago I read somebody's rant about not using the letter 'l' in variable names (that aren't obviously words) because it's easy to confuse it with the numeral '1'.
I thought that was a silly point. Today, however, I wasted a half hour floundering because I thought Radio's flPostToHomePage was f1PostToHomePage. Brother.
The good news is that I can now post a text file to Radio's weblog from the command line. That's not worth much, maybe, but I don't like having to use a web browser to talk to a web server application -- as a matter of principle.
