in reply to Namespace pollution

Aack!!! Mea culpa ... sorta.

grep is actually cbrink, one of my coworkers. He didn't like his nick and, in any event, lost his password and then discovered he couldn't have it emailed because the email he signed up with is no longer available. He was asking me what I thought of different nicks (MrBungle was one, don't ask) and he finally settled on grep. I should have told him to go with his first instincts :( Of course, I don't recall his telling me about his choice of grep until he actually signed up for it. Sigh. I'll be sure to beat him severely for this.

Oh, wait, he's my boss. Never mind :)

Ovid idly wonders if grep is going to read this...

Cheers,
Ovid

    OIC, so that would explain how he was able to hit the ground running, kinda (cbrink wasn't around much ;-).

    As for Mr. Bungle, no need. A band from SF founded by former Faith No More lead singer. I like Retrovertigo but not much else I've heard.

      Ah, but is the band named after the infamous LambdaMOO incident, or the other way around? I assume it's the other way around...

        Interesting so it seems in the beginning there was the LambdaMOO indicent, and it was bad. The band is apparently named after the perpetrator.

    See, my point exactly, you (as any monk would) did [grep] to link to his node, but that link takes you to perldoc -f grep ;-)
