From Dave in my basement, redux
<p>Dave Taht is crashing in my basement again. While he&#8217;s here Dave is planning to cut another release of <a href="http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt">CeroWRT</a> (the third one to issue from this basement, actually), and he has decided it needs a name.</p>
<p>And, well, &#8220;the release from ESR&#8217;s basement&#8221; just lacks a certain&#8230;zing.</p>
<p><span id="more-4566"></span></p>
<p>Obviously, this means my <em>basement</em> needs a name.  Something it probably should have acquired sooner, actually, as it is a rather storied locale.  Often a resting place for traveling hackers weary of the wars; home to one of the larger collections of SF east of the Misty Mountains, and (as a commenter once <a href="http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=4162&#038;cpage=1#comment-373268">noted</a>) &#8220;obviously part of a previously unmapped tunnel between the Great Underground Empire and Colossal Cave&#8221;</p>
<p>So we have decided to name the basement after its most frequent inhabitant. Yes, that would be the entity most likely to sleep on top of <em>you</em> if you&#8217;re sleeping in the daybed&#8230;our very own fuzz elemental and companion-to-hackers, Sugar.  (Who must telepathically know I am writing about her as she has just materialized in my desk well to snuggle up to my right foot.)</p>
<p>So, um, when you see that the next CeroWRT release is tagged &#8220;Sugarland&#8221;, do not think of a town in Texas or a valley in the Great Smoky Mountains.  Somewhere in Malvern, a cat is purring.  And she purrs just for you.  Or your router.  Whatever&#8230;.</p>
