Alexander Henderson (physician)

Alexander Henderson (1780 – 1863) was a Scottish physician and author.

Biography

Born in Aberdeenshire, he was educated at the University of Edinburgh, where he graduated as a doctor of medicine in 1803. He went to London and was admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1808. He chiefly devoted himself to letters, though, contributing to such works as Encyclopædia Britannica and Edinburgh Review. He translated Cabanis's Coup d'œil sur les révolutions et la réforme de la médicine (1804) as Sketch of the revolutions of medical science, and views relating to its reform (1806).[1] He published The History of Ancient and Modern Wines in 1824.[2]

gollark: So I thought "well, I'll just make it check if the nick is in use when it gets the NICK command".
gollark: However, this does not actually stop multiple people having the same nick, which is no.
gollark: Basically, osmarksunnecessaryIRCserver™ receives connections from clients, for purposes. They are not actually considered registered until they set a nickname. So I currently have it loop and receive messages until it gets `NICK bees` or whatever, at which point it sends the welcome messages, write-locks the global state struct™, writes in the new client connection, and adds the nick to the in-use map.
gollark: Yes, but that would be annoying.
gollark: Hmm. It looks like I need software transactional memory or something, but ææææææ there are not really any good libraries for that?
