What are the chances? [modified]
-
I was doing my own bit of ego surfing after replying to Phil's post [^]earlier and seem to have found my doppelganger[^]. I know Dave/David is a fairly common name (& Sexton arguable so) but what are the chances of finding another dev with the same interests and name? Has that happened to anyone else here? (Apart from Peter Chen :-D) I wonder if he visits CP? //EDIT: After reading a few of the replies it looks like the chances are pretty good! :) ! -- modified at 9:24 Friday 2nd February, 2007
There's another Stephen Hazel in my same state (WA). He's an artist who lives downtown. His girlfriend/roommate/whatever has the same first name as my wife! http://www.seattleweekly.com/news/9917/features-sawahata.php[^] (scroll down to about the 3rd heading - if interested:-O) Kathleen is a pretty common name, though. I didn't really want to know this, but you made me look... So I blame you... But, well, his art SUCKS if you ask me...http://www.davidsongalleries.com/artists/hazel/hazel.html[^] And he's sorta balding...http://www.studioblu.org/stephen.htm[^] So so far, I think I've got the edge even though I'm much less famous. So yes, I definitely have the edge. ...Steve

Well, there's this one[^] for sure. But my name is also fairly common, so i wouldn't be surprised if there were a few more programmers sharing it.

When I Googled my name ("Troy Hailey"), I came up with all sorts of pages concerning a young man who is a basketball player[^]. He's not me. ... Hmmm, I also came up with this page[^], which turns out to be on the blog of an irrational 'Darwinist' associate college professor who has an odd obsession with me (despite that I have never knowingly spoken to him, nor until this post knowingly said anything directly about him in a public forum). -- modified at 10:40 Friday 2nd February, 2007 And, considering the huge number of the pages referencing Troy, the basketball player, coupled with my complete lack of patience to wade through all the links, I fear I shall never learn whether we two are the only men in America named "Troy Hailey." (err, make that, the only three, since his father is also "Troy Hailey") -- modified at 10:44 Friday 2nd February, 2007

There are only two people in this world apart from me who use the same surname. You will find Aswin easily on the web - he's a distant uncle of mine. The other is my brother, who doesn't have a WWW presence.
Cheers, Vikram.

"same named with a famous artist instead of a dorky blogger - neener neener neeeeener" No, no, no. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. That blogger's name isn't also "Troy Hailey." Rather, Googling my name happened to bring up a link to a page on his blog, in which he mentions me by name as he "shows" what an egotist I am by misrepresenting -- or perhaps it was only that he was unable to follow the linear logic of it -- something I'd written elsewhere. His snide little comment was just icing on the cake. -- modified at 13:33 Friday 2nd February, 2007 Especially as I wouldn't be caught dead in loafers. :laugh:
