Annotating source code

One of my unfinished projects here at Wikihack is to label each function name (and long comments and important structures) to help source divers and source annotaters. Some of the things I've learned arere:

International Eidolos Day

The 13th of August is International Eidolos Day, when we all watch Eidolos on NAO. It's frowned upon for other people to ascend on NAO on this date.

A soldier ant killed me on the morning of Aug 13, ending my ascension streak (I did get three wizards in a row, though!), so International Eidolos Day is cancelled. Sorry! :)
