Names
I'm not very good with names. Given names I can manage, but I quite
often forget what people's last names are. However, I'm not all that bad
in remembering what I know people from. I've taken up the habit of
calling people by the project they're known by if I can't immediately
come up with their last name. This works, as people usually know who
you're talking about if you mention, say, Dries Drupal
, Philip Tinymail
, Thomas Gstreamer
, Guido Python
, Theo OpenBSD
, etc. It doesn't sound as
good when you say Linus Linux
, but then usually everyone knows
who you talk about when you just use his first name.
I do wonder what I'd be known by, though...
