bitches
Two people whose opinion I value have told me that they think bitches is a bad name for a project. It might be found offensive.
Hm, I don't know what to do about it. First of all, I like the name. Second, it fits the acronym I came up with ok : Build In True CHroot Environment System. It says what it is. I tried coming up with a few different names, but most weren't very good and others (like PCP, Pristine Chroot Packaging) are already taken.
I also tried variations with itches in it, and one of the two persons even suggested itches, which I might be able to live with, but still ... It feels silly to rename a project just because some people don't like the name, when I really like it.
The stupid thing is that I wanted to do some really good work on it and with it today. And know I can't be bothered because I'm thinking about the name issue. How sad can I get ?
Personally I don't find it offensive at all. You could interpret it that way if you want to, but it's just as much a biological term for the female dog. Maybe I should give Miles Davis a ring and ask him to rename his landmark record, Bitches Brew, because it could be found offensive ? Maybe I'm too late for that one.
So, let me know if you feel bitches is an offensive name.
Games
I haven't played any real computer games for a long time. Took up Grand Theft Auto again over the weekend. I had forgotten how much fun it was. Somebody should clone it on Linux.
