====== Btnirn ======

===== Recruitment =====

In 1992, I spent 10 weeks at a summer mathematics program at the University of
Oklahoma (in Norman), with nine other math students. There isn't a lot to do 
in Norman during the summer, especially when you don't have access to a car, so 
we had a lot of free time.  One of the other students, [[Alice]], seemed to spend
much of that free time working on these strange little word puzzles, and, since I 
had nothing better to do, I started joining in.  By the end of the summer, I was 
hooked.

===== Nom =====

Btnirn is an acronym for "But that's not important right now", a
phrase best known from the //Airplane!// movies.  I tend to use the 
acronym in entirely too much of my personal correspondence.
