How do we name it?
-
Wouldn't it be better if we could first decide if we like the alien or not? And if not, suggest a new logo? Unless, of course, E.T. is here to stay.
You're right.. I'm sorry, but I already fell in love with the littl' fellow :D -- Alex Marbus www.marbus.net But then again, I could be wrong.

.. or a name that has the same initials CP hmm, Chris' Pet ? -- Alex Marbus www.marbus.net But then again, I could be wrong.

I hate to say it but I do like the name. Maybe I just need more sleep :) cheers, Chris Maunder
I think you do need some more sleep.. BOB was just a stupid idea of Microsoft, in a galaxy a long, long time ago. I think if we name it Bob, it's future is already written :( We could just call it Alex, ofcourse :rolleyes: -- Alex Marbus www.marbus.net But then again, I could be wrong.

You definitely need more sleep, Chris! Bob, as we all remember, is the name of a serial killer from the tv-series "Twin Peaks" played by, now deceased, Franka Silva. Not really an appropiate name for the CP mascot, if I must say so. I would suggest the name "Pointer", because of his pointy little head :-) Christian Skovdal Andersen
Well, when you say "Bob" I think of a, long gone, userinterface from MS - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Well, I still like Bob. Maybe Chris's pet is named Bob....

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.
What could be more obvious? (PP for short, of course ).

I vote for 'Bob'.

How about we call him Larry, and say he's the garbage collector from .Net? Larry: .Net Sanitation Engineer

Oh well, it seems I'm the only one who doesn't like (much) the alien:(( Not that it's bad, I just think we could find something better. Anyway, since everyone else likes it, I'm starting to like it too;) But "Bob"... tsss.

... Codie ... for some reason that one made my smile when I read it. I think it would be a perfect name for Chris - I er.... the alien. Some non-mythical t-shirts could be made up and handed out at various shows, etc. "Codie, the Code Project mascot". David

Oh yes please ! "Codie" is a great name, "Bob" is fine too. So let us decide :-) BTW: I have just learned that there where T-Shirts on the CP-Tour available. Any chance get a T-Shirt when not being on the road show ? Regards, Tom. -- Tom Wellige http://www.wellige.com

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

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

Yeah, a poll would solve this little problem, don't forget to add 'Bob' as an option. ;P

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!
