  JakeO.com - History of the C Programming Language
The name Ritchie graced it with is C, being the letter directly after B in the alphabet.
In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Ritchie published The C Programming Language, which has since then become somewhat of a bible to C programmers, and is often called the "white book" or "K&R".
Brian Kernighan, co-author with Dennis Ritchie of The C Programming Language says, "Although the absence of some of these features may seem like a grave deficiency...keeping the language down to modest size has real benefits.

 Brian Ritchie - Shakahachi Club NYC (Weed)
Early in the set, Ritchie and company give the rock audience a familiar melody (the traditional "Motherless Children") to let the unusual instrumentation settle into their psyche, thus allowing them to hear the rest of the concert in its proper musical context.
Ritchie brings it into a new light, incorporating it into the jazz/rock idiom through this set of seven original compositions and inspired interpretations of two traditional tunes along with John Coltrane's "Living Space" and Albert Ayler's "Change Has Come."
The remaining tracks, particularly "Lace Dress," are more nebulous and improvisational, as Ritchie serpentines his shakuhachi around his combo's accompanying mandolin, tuba, and Ficca's earthen percussives ("wood, skin, metal, stone," according to the credits) in a jazzy, non-linear direction.

 C programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The initial development of C occurred at ATandT Bell Labs between 1969 and 1973; according to Ritchie, the most creative period occurred in 1972.
They had been playing it on their company's mainframe, but as it was underpowered and had to support about 100 users, Thompson and Ritchie found they did not have sufficient control over the spaceship to avoid collisions with the wandering space rocks.
In 1978, Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan published the first edition of The C Programming Language.

 Thompson, Ritchie and Kernighan admit that Unix was a prank
Brian and I had started work with an early release of Pascal from Professor Niklaus Wirth's ETH Labs in Switzerland and we were impressed with its elegant simplicity and power.
Brian must be credited with the idea of having absolutely no standard I/O specification: this ensured that at least 50% of the typical commercial program would have to be re-coded when changing hardware platforms.
Brian was also responsible for pitching this lack of I/O as a feature: it allowed us to describe the language as "truly portable".

Whether or not it's time for a shakuhachi repertory band is arguable, but either way Violent Femmes bassist Brian Ritchie seems an unlikely candidate to lead the venture.
Here he is, however, with a quintet and a convincing set of standards and originals, treating the five-holed wooden Japanese flute as if it were just one of the guys.
But Ritchie plays well and given the choice of material he isn't bashful about demonstrating as much.

 Brian Ritchie : I See a Noise - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Elsewhere Ritchie shows himself a gifted arranger, notably on "Quo Vadis," which combines Coltrane-like saxophone squawks with driving rock and complex polyrhythmic percussion.
Since this is after all a Brian Ritchie album, there are a few pieces that are silly, but they're also oddly affecting -- "Please Don't Cry For Me (When I Die)" is so wacky that everyone laughs at it the first time they hear it, but it survives repeated listenings very well.
I See a Noise is a mighty fine piece of work from an artist who is consistently interesting and engaging, one of rock's true originals.

Curious Violent Femmes fans may be puzzled upon hearing Brian Ritchie's solo work on the shakuhachi, a traditional Japanese wooden flute.
The music is actually full-on jazz, though a wild, Femmes-esque energy does flutter freely from Ritchie's instrument as he leads a pack of stellar New York City players.
Violent Femmes bass player Brian Ritchie takes up the traditional Japanese wooden flute and makes some very untraditional shakuhachi music with some of the best boho musicians on the New York scene.
