I posted a couple of weeks ago about my latest work on my Pie Menus implementation on Mac OS X. Today, I got an interesting comment on that post.

The comment was by one Joseph Huang, and read as follows:

Duplication of effort?

Now, take a moment to view the page that Joseph links to. Now take a look at my recent pie menus post, linked above. At first glance, it seems that I have indeed been duplicating the sterling development efforts of someone else. Someone with the same name. And the same photo at the top of his blog, which uses the same colour-scheme as this blog. And which is indeed linked from the sidebar of this blog, with a link title mentioning that it’s “my previous blog”.

I love the internet.

Hmm. Maybe he meant that you were duplicating your own efforts?

That said, I do prefer the more cynical interpretation.. :)

Haha. Just the other day I did a Dinosaurs check on my NetNewsWire subscriptions list and found Irate Scotsman was a dinosaur. I checked the home page and was confused, because I could have sworn I’d seen recent updates from you. Then I took another look at my subscriptions list, and you know what I found. The Mattness, sitting right below Irate Scotsman.

At least I recognized that both were the same person ;)
