It has recently come to light that a significant number of the community's most accomplished z80 Assembly programmers, including thepenguin77(Brian Coventry), FloppusMaximus (Benjamin Moody), calc84maniac (Brendan Fletcher), Ben Ryves, and Brandon Wilson all have first names beginning with the letter "B." This statistically significant event is obviously full of mystical meaning, so what is your hypothesis as to why this is?
/me thinks that it's the result of the Calculator Gods favoring masters who have the letter "B" as the first letter of their name :P
-
Okay, we also need to document their calcs names. For example, mine is Bert. (Inside joke)
-
Well, ironically, I have always seen 11 as a pretty number because it reminds me of a mix of rational and irrational concepts (B=11) as well as a mix of the colors black and white. Anywho, I am trying to think of my calcy's name. I'm thinking Brika or Bri for short. (Pronounced bree-kuh)
-
How about Brie? Then your calculator could be named after a cheese and someone named Brie :p
-
My calc's name is September.
-
how about 'brick'? :P
-
I think maybe because true assembly programmers use the B register in place of the Arithmetic one :P
-
Or maybe somebody's messing with us. Quigibo's name doesn't begin with B, though....
-
I like Brie... but I need a name with one and a half syllables!
-

We actually have a girl member (CoolioJazz's sister) using the nickname BrieCheese. O.O
This is interesting, though. I never realized that.
That said, KermMartian breaks the trend, since his real name starts with C. Quigibo might not count, though, since he started serious ASM programming only like 2 years ago, while the others started between 5 and 10 years ago.

Illlit.

Does that mean Obama's secrectly an amazing calc programmer? :o
-
Hum, what about BOB!

No.
Hum, what about BOB!
I highly doubt it. I actually haven't seen a program from BOB!, actually. It would be awesome if he was, though.
So is this correlation, or does naming your kid B* work?
-
Okay, we need to test this...
/me squints at the nearest hospital.
Let us name her Brittany, because we're running out of unique male names that start with "B"
-
or B' will work. XD

How about Black Star? (Please, someone be a soul eater fan and understand this reference. Please!) Awesome programmer + Biggest ego ever == ...
-
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool?
A billio Circles.
-
I just browsed through this (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors.html) and there are not many authors starting with B :(
-
All current calc names are in the signature.

Didn't Excalibur have an ego that was as big, if not bigger, though? Plus, it would then give you the right to interrupt anyone to call them a fool. Win-win!

Busiest != best, most downloaded != best :)
Also wow, KermMartian is rapidly going up in the download ranks there :o

True, but who has time to program with all of those rules.... Plus, you get Black Star's enormous wavelength.
