Fun and names with projects
‘Some years ago I worked at a company developing a product whose project name was Sam (serial advanced multiplexer),’ says Ian Cummins at Network Instruments. ‘When it was finished and the next project started I asked the head of development what the new project would be called. “Son of Sam” he said.’
Ian pointed out that this wasn’t very inventive. ‘Oh no,’ said the head of development. ‘We thought hard about this name. This one really will be a serial killer.’
And a correction to one of our earlier stories about the Uniplex project Jason from Les Miller at UBS Investment Bank. ‘The project was called Jason because the development was planned to start in July, continue through August and so on to November. When the finish date was delayed the project ended up being called Jasondjfmam.’
