Hi all - this is ALMOST off-topic - let's just say a diversion....
Java programmers on Birding-Aus (there must be a few of you) may know
about BlueJ - it's a Java IDE (program for writing programs in Java)
and is particularly useful for teaching Java. It was developed by a
team from Danish and Australian universities. The name is
understandable - everything to do with Java seems to need the letter
"J" attached - but it's a bit of a shame they chose a North American
bird. The logo for the program is the unmistakable head of a Blue Jay
(Cyanocitta cristata). I've used BlueJ as a teaching tool, and the
kids made no comment whatsoever about the bird - but I think they may
have if it had been one they could recognise.
Just thought I should mention that there is another meaning of BlueJ!
