Berlin, Tokyo, ... ... Carnival?

Berlin, Tokyo, ... ... Carnival?

Is that a place even? Not according to Wikipedia. But it is a lot of other things. My personal favourite amongst all the disambiguations (is that a word?) is of course Elisabeth Bear's novel from 2006, but Bear is a brilliant author (surely amongst my top 20) so no surprise there. I'll just have to dig up the olde book and re-read it.

I'm opting for Pakistan, Stockholm or even ... Dubai. Or why not challenge all the old libraries sitting deep inside the IDE and choose Malmö. There's an umlaut included. Might reveal one or more character-coding-oversight. Even better maybe some city in the Balkans.

Also, of course, lots of GREAT music from the land of the Carnaval! Here's a soundtrack for when you "lucky" beta testers get the beast under your fingertips:

Anyone versed in English should be able to understand the lyrics, it's mostly latin words. "Teresa" is his girlfriend. He's got a moped and in February they have a carnaval.

Next song-link will be posted when Emba releases. If they do not take my advice and change to Stockholm. It's a good name, there's a syndrom that might be applied to some of us Delhi-users, you know.

  2. My bet is on Rio de Janeiro, or just Rio - as a tip of the hat to the Brazilian user base.

  6. Dany Marmur Godzila is also not a city, but a codename that refers culturally to Tokyo. Carnival is culturally linked to Rio de Janeiro

  7. Yes, Godzilla was the internal codename to Delphi Tokyo. The next one is certainly Rio.
