The conversation that led to the name ‘Runnels’.
(15:55:50) lkanies: icblenke and laen: so, you guys interested in building this with me?(15:55:59) lkanies: anyone got a good idea for names?
(15:57:56) icblenke: I’m all about getting this to work.
(15:58:13) icblenke: well, a puppet needs strings, right?
(15:58:18) lkanies: heh :)
(15:58:49) lkanies: i would hope that someone would do something nasty to us if we named a product "strings"
(15:59:22) lkanies: like the guys who wrote the framework running at everything2.com—the framework is called ‘everything’, which means that you basically can’t actually talk about it
(15:59:40) laen: luke: Yeah, I’m definitely interested.
(15:59:58) laen: can-and-strings? :)
(16:01:23) **laen googles "famous puppets".
(16:01:29) lkanies: something like runnel or rivulet would be cool, but do we need to completely decouple the transport and the format?
(16:01:36) icblenke: lambchop?
(16:01:39) lkanies: heh
(16:01:50) icblenke: gipetto
(16:01:58) docelic: haha :)
(16:01:59) lkanies: i’m pretty sure we’d get in trouble if we took trademarked puppet names
(16:02:19) lkanies: that one’s not trademarked, tho, even though i’m sure disney would like to disagree
(16:02:30) laen: I like runnel.
