Shredder name compliment
I don't recall who suggested Shredder as our code name originally, but they done good! Today I got the following compliment from a friend:
btw dmose, thunderbird 3 alpha 1 deserves an award for best name for inducing fear of unstable development code

I agree. "Minefield" sounds like trouble that might be avoided, but there's no escaping a Shredder.

It was Rick Tessner.

I love it. I explained it to two of my non-techie friends, who also got a kick out of it.
I wish I'd suggested USPS as the codename first, though.
