## Judges' remarks:
|
|
|
|
The author was too embarrassed that they could write such trash, so I
|
|
promised to protect their identity. I will say that the author of this
|
|
program has a well known connection with the C programming language.
|
|
|
|
This program is a unique variation on the age old "hello, world!" program. What
|
|
reads like a read may be written like a write!
|
|
|
|
In 2005 someone by the name of Thomas Scovell got a tattoo of this entry. See
|
|
his [web
|
|
page](https://web.archive.org/web/20070120220721/https://thomasscovell.com/tattoo.php)
|
|
on the Internet Wayback Machine for more information on the tattoo. Along with
|
|
the code, this is what it looks like:
|
|
|
|
<img src="1984-anonymous-tattoo.jpg"
|
|
alt="image of a tattoo of the 1984 anonymous C code"
|
|
width=600 height=401>

## Author's remarks:
|
|
|
|
### On remaining anonymous:
|
|
|
|
Some years after this entry was published we asked the author if they still
|
|
wished to remain anonymous and they said:
|
|
|
|
> Yes, I want to keep my anonymity. But you can tell them that I am well known
|
|
for my connection to the C language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### On the famous tattoo (see above):
|
|
|
|
The author, when told about this tattoo, said:
|
|
|
|
> I feel honored that my entry will be the first IOCCC winning entry to become a
|
|
tattoo. It is the first entry to become a tattoo isn't it?
|
|
|
|
Landon Curt Noll, the one who told the author about the tattoo, wrote back:
|
|
|
|
> Yes, to our knowledge it is.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Regrets:
|
|
|
|
Landon Curt Noll wrote that the author regrets not making the program a
|
|
one-liner and not moving the `int i` into an arg of `main()` (so that the line
|
|
would have started with `main()`). On the other hand the author likes the "two
|
|
line look" and the way `hell o` was split. :-) And they like the fact that it
|
|
ends in a smily face: `;}`.
