    I'm trying my hardest to come up with a software studio name, and I'm failing miserably. I'd like to have some sort of obscure tech or programming verbage, but I can't seem to come up with anything good. Halp?

    How about "Holy Crap. They'll Actually Give us Money For This Sh*t Inc." or "You Did Remember to Get Liability Insurance Didn't You Ltd." Alternatively, go with Orrible or Macrohard - nobody will know where you got your inspiration.

      I've just thought of a couple of obscure terms for you. See what you can come up with from: Good Design. Knowing How To Code. Tight Coding.

                What I have done is take my name, or what sounds like my name, and add the word 'web' to the end. So if your name was Aardvark you could call the company AardWeb.com Regards Guy

                          Not that it is obscure, but it should be... Goto programming :) Hogan

                            I suggest using a fragment of assembly language mnemonic code, i.e. "Count 0" or "JNE" if you really want to go that way, but I've found a much better way lately of coming up with names for things which I'll post about in a new thread here right after I reply because it really works and is useful and I've been meaning to write about it.
