In our office, programmers and system guys often joke about software, tools, and vendors named after animals. A fun game is to count how many animals we keep in our virtual zoo, – our PC. We found birds, cats, frogs, snakes, and more, very amazing!
See what we’ve had:
- Toad – The SQL tool now owned by Quest Software, Toad for Oracle, sound funny!
- Tom cat – Apache’s servlet engine. Want to see it’s picture? go to http://tomcat.apache.org/
- Blue cat – Bluecat Networks makes Adonis DNS/DHCP appliance.
- Mouse – The lovely pet you hold everyday. The good thing is, you get paid for petting it.
- Python – Such a hot language, Google loves the snake.
- Penguin – It’s LINUX.
- ….
OK, time to go home now. What animals do you keep in your zoo?
Talking about animals, I have coyote in my zoo, Coyotepoint Systems.
