Following on the heals of trevorj’s post, I’m going to give everyone a bit more info on our Windows CE prank, and the background of it.
First off, we really could have done CE, since TI has a nice SDK for the Omap processor available at their site. It’s not the direction we are going however, because quite frankly WinCE makes me wince.
Secondly, the domain was an accidental thing (don’t ever ever ever renew domains when you’re running on 30 minutes of sleep…). I had jokingly priced it back in February, and it stayed in my shopping cart till I renewed 2 other domains. This was my out of pocket expense, and the $8.88 for a year was well worth it for the sheer shenanigans factor.
Third, all credit for the logo goes to Vlcn, who is an absolute wizard.
The idea to play the prank was mine, so I am to blame, Trev decided on WinCE and was a good sport agreeing to be the brunt of it, and Vlcn kindly agreed to do up the mock logo on short notice.
On behalf of everyone here, happy April fools!
