Armor of God Pyjamas

Filed under: General — miss_f @ 8:30 pm

There is such a thing as taking religious beliefs too far… for a
change it’s into a direction that does not harm other people. Physically
anyway.

Carl Sagan

Filed under: General — mjc @ 11:30 pm

Found this gem in Carl Sagan’s wikipedia entry…
In 1994, Apple Computer began developing the Power Macintosh 7100.
They chose the internal code name “Carl Sagan,” the joke being that
the mid-range PowerMac 7100 would make Apple “billions and
billions”. Though the project name was strictly internal and never
used in public marketing, when Sagan learned of this internal usage,
he sued Apple Computer to use a different project name — other
projects had names like “Cold fusion” and “Piltdown Man”, and he was
displeased at being associated with what he considered
pseudoscience. Though Sagan lost the suit, Apple engineers complied
with his demands anyway, renaming the project “BHA” (Butt-Head
Astronomer). Sagan sued Apple for libel over the new name, claiming
that it subjected him to contempt and ridicule. Sagan lost this
lawsuit as well; still, the 7100 saw another name change: it was
lastly called “LAW” (Lawyers Are Wimps).

LinkedIn

Filed under: General — richard @ 8:45 am

As many of you will have realised from the barrage of e-mails, I (and
a couple of others) have discovered that LinkedIn.com is a bit, well,
wizzy.
I looked at it a year or so ago, and just figured it was a flash in
the pan. It seems to have proliferated somewhat amongst many of us,
and a lot of former colleagues. So I’ve been plugging away, and have
got back in touch with a few folk and useful contacts.
Anyway, highly recommended too. My details:
www.linkedin.com/in/rleyton
Anybody else that’s on, perhaps drop your details out or have a poke
about and get back in touch with a few familiar faces from days gone
by, beenz and otherwise.
