What is on Your Mind?

lol, I should have figured out who you were, really!
Good job I'm not writing a detective story

How could I forget: Apache TomCat!

It would have to be a male cat then!

I'd have gone for plain simple 'cat' (as in the Unix/Linux command), but that would demand that the hacker has a certain sense of humour. Not just a sense of humour, but a fairly dry, ironic, sense of humour and maybe a stripped down lifestyle.

'Cat5' is good for someone who might have had a history of cats, too...

'null' is a possibility, but somehow less funny and '/dev/null' is not what most real people would use.

The command "ypcat" (print the Network Information Services map) could be contracted down to "yp" which would sound great shouted out late at night - depending on how you pronounce "yp".
Trivia: In the unix world you are not allowed to expand yp to Yellow Pages any more following some ancient copyright case.


Or.

"tac" - command to read a file backwards.
"woem" and "rrup" - the sound made by a tac.

the 'cat' command was sometimes used to display short files, but 'less' and 'more' are better for this.

You could also try working the Useless Use of Cat Award into this somehow. 'useless' isn't a bad name for a cat, really.

Following the Blue Peter scandal when they named their cat "Socks" after a TCP/IP proxy protocol and ignored the phone votes from the viewers, the name which actually had the most votes was "Cookie"! This proves that the vote was compromised by hackers.
