I have one, at work and amongst friends, named after me :(
"Flakey Tom" - which basically is when someone (usually me) writes some code, tests/debugs it, runs compiler test, ensure it works etc.... and then adds "one extra quick line of code" (it will be fine guys!) before checking it into the main branch.
And subsequently everything breaks for about 3 hours.
I'm lucky enough to currently not work with collegues that could coin names for my failures, I'd hate to imagine what a 'jam' looks like. It might be 'idiot move to add one item to a firewall access list that locks out the idiot and the rest of the internet, requiring a live body to transport himself to the hosting facility'. Of course this never happened. I wish.
Shit happens, don't worry about it.
And I think that there are a lot of 'Flakey Toms' on HN, even when they're named George or Sally :)
