Random thoughts Stray memories

Leslie_ (a diehard linux fan) writes his journal on a text file in his PC. When I asked him how much he's written, he replied 64 kb. But how many pages is that? I persisted. He couldn't tell cos there's no Word on linux, so I got my geeky best friend to help figure out.

Here's the answer from the king of .plans:

words avg length is 4 letters/bytes
64 k = 65536 bytes
65536/5 (include space) would give you a good estimate on words
Then you can find out the lines, 13-15 words per line.
Then approximately 60-66 lines per page.

Less than 20 pages.


Eh, so if I convert this past year of blog posts to a Word document, how many pages will that be?
