Release 1.1.1 2024-06-23

[lcn2]

Changed LOCATION_VERSION to "1.0.4 2024-05-22".

Fixed usage string in location_main.c: it did not suggest that one can specify
more than one location but it can.

Added to the README.md brief documentation of the location(1) tool (it was not
there at all) and fixed some typos and added some clarity in the location.1
man page.

Updated the Rule 2a size from 4096 to 4993: a change that keeps the
"Rule 2b:Rule 2a" ratio (that was recently changed from 2053 to 2503)
similar to the 2001-2020 IOCCC era.

Has it really been 19 years for this era?! Simply WOW! How times change. (Insert four Yorkshiremen sketch.)

You started before me by many years of course, though I was into programming at the time, but the first time for me was as you probably know 2053. But on the subject of imaginary numbers here's a great cartoon for you:

Thanks, Landon, for updating the version after that change I made. I did not think to do that. Good call.

Mind this: The current rules and guidelines are still tentative

Nevertheless we try to keep this repo in sync with tentativeness 😉

Ever notice that the words TENTATIVE and ATTENTIVE are anagrams? I just noticed it as I looked at the comment .. as I have done with many other anagrams I have noticed. Some amusing ones I have of course shared with you before.

Along with Eaten It TV that brings you shows like Food for thought, Gluttony with kale, and Burps: Cow vs Man III.

One I have shared with Landon that's brilliant: LISTEN = SILENT. If you want to be a good listener you should keep your mouth shut!

Some that are not my own discovery but are great and one being the best I know of (though I have noticed some that are quite similar .. plus words within words, words spelt backwards and other things):

Dormitory = Dirty room (!!)

The Morse code = Here come dots (also excellent irony!)

Slot machines = Cash lost in 'em (not as big on this one as it's not a full word but it's still kind of fun .. though I'd be more likely to call them a fruit machine)

Snooze alarms = Alas! No more z's (again not as big on this one)

Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one (my favourite because mathematically they are equal but they are also anagrams!)

The funniest licence / number plate I have seen is OCD-OCD. I also saw one years before that I loved: UNX-RLZ. Actually I was with my mum at the time and we both saw it and both really enjoyed it! I have also seen RSYNC and I have heard of one like LNX-GRL or something like that. Still the OCD-OCD one is so great ...

BTW on the subject of dormitories the etymology of CEMETERY is interesting: late Middle English: via late Latin from Greek koimētērion ‘dormitory’, from koiman ‘put to sleep.
