How do we name it?
-
I vote for 'Bob'.
My problem is that I associate 'bob' with bad programming :) There seems to be a link between the use of a variable named 'bob' in code and just plain lousy software. Not sure why. David

>Chris, poll? :laugh: why not? Max
Yeah, a poll would solve this little problem, don't forget to add 'Bob' as an option. ;P

I'm not sure this is a show stopper, but Cody is a character used by Distinct, and the SIIA has an annual awards program they call the codie awards. I doubt these would be confused with the CP alien, but we should be careful. http://www.siia.net/events/awards/2001codies/enter.htm http://www.distinct.com/ And if you're into German programming: http://www.codie.com David
Valid point. I don't think I had any of the above mentioned usage in mind, though. The name just came in a sort of flow--codie, sourcie, like that. In fact, first I thought of Coddie, and then changed over to Codie. But, now that you remind us of Codie Awards, I do remember having read the name before. 16 years in use... Must have appeared on the back of a lot of T-shirts... So, there might be a conflict-of-usage thingie about it. Guess we would be better off having a separate identity granted to the alien--something more than Codie => Coddie. Back to creativity board, guys... More input, please!

Well, you knew I had to come back :) Pl. run the following through modifiers/filters: - c2p2 (obviously inspired by R2D2) - CODIAK (o.i. by ENIAC etc.) - codino (o.i. by neutrino) - CodingTon (self explanatory, but most objectionable!)

Good point. That would then narrow the field to Carol, Ted or Alice. Unless we go with 'Fred'... hmmm...

Chris, Maybe a stupid idea, but how about 'we' (the cp-members) create a little contest where everyone can submit a name for this friendly fellow? -- Alex Marbus www.marbus.net But then again, I could be wrong.
I'll vote for Zarquon! maXallion

That little alien reminds me of a zucchini. No seriosuly! Look at his head, I expect it to split open any moment now and cry out for someone to boil and then eat it, with a dash of pepper. He is cute though, *cough*, not that us developers are cute or anything *strut strut*, or even use the word cute. Ha! I like Bob as his name, short, simple, cross-cultural and most of all he does not look anything like a Bob, which makes him perfect for the name. Actually come to think of it... is "he" even a he? Could "he" be a "she" or an "other" ? The incredible responsibilities we have in naming this mascott of ours is serious business. Imagine if it turned out to be a she and we named it Bob, the poor thing would be confused and may even require a sex cha...

I like that, it remembers me Paddington, the bear wearing this yellow raincoat :) Anyone else knowing him? Regards, Thomas

That's pretty funny ("too trekky"), because it's actually based on a Star Wars robot... :-D
