Some of you may recall Sleepycat Software, which was in business to support the open-source Berkeley DB until it was bought by Oracle in 2006. Some years ago I had occasion to email them about something, and thinking that a company called Sleepycat Software would still be a one- or two-person enterprise, I added in the email that I liked their name and, as it happened, I had a kitty on my lap at that moment.
The reply gave me a chuckle, as it made clear that the company had grown significantly and that some of the new employees found the name a bit embarrassing.
Anyway -- one thing I've learned about Purr Programming -- don't let the cat have the keyboard. Their code never works :-)
