    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

    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!) Now, I have really run out of ideas (whether good/bad/ugly). ------- Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. (Francis Bacon) Nature, to be apprehended, must be obeyed. (Ayn Rand)

      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

      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.

            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... Ok, getting way over myself here...:rolleyes: O&O regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

              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

                        I know, but most people know the word "trekky" (sp?). Still, it was a *very* clever use of C & P. C++/C# Student. Wither Thee VB.Net.
