Zoo Keepers: How Many Animals Do You Keep?

12 March 2007

In our office, programmers and system guys often joke about software, tools, and vendors named after animals. A fun game is to count how many animals we keep in our virtual zoo, - our PC. We found birds, cats, frogs, snakes, and more, very amazing!

See what we’ve had:

1. Toad - The SQL tool now owned by Quest Software, Toad for Oracle, sound funny!
2. Tom cat - Apache’s servlet engine. Want to see it’s picture? go to http://tomcat.apache.org/
3. Blue cat - Bluecat Networks makes Adonis DNS/DHCP appliance.
4. Mouse - The lovely pet you hold everyday. The good thing is, you get paid for petting it.
5. Python - Such a hot language, Google loves the snake.
6. Penguin - It’s LINUX.
7. ….

OK, time to go home now. What animals do you keep in your zoo?
