Well, I battled with myself, and the evil pun side won.

I did not know of the connection between UC Berkeley and PostgreSQL.

Is your name a pseudonym, possibly a pun? Or did you gravitate towards PostgreSQL because of your name?

:-)

A little nominative determinism ( http://www.scilogs.com/counterbalanced/academic-nominativ... ) can't hurt :)

Hah!

Given my once-radical leftist politics, I was known as "Joshua Bezerkeley" in college.

But no, Berkus is a Ukrainian name, actually.

Well ... not to hijack Jon's website too much ... I went to school there for a while and discovered I was an atrocious student ... but I do remember Ronnie Raygun's helicopter pepper spraying the crowds, and learned that my radical politics evaporated pretty quickly when I came across crowds breaking out firehoses and breaking windows ... learned a few shortcuts ... and have memories of the sort that are fonder from a distance :-)

Berkeley is not the only funny part (esp. if you have been invited to Ingres Corp. marketing lunches a few decades ago).
