The Biggest Controversy to Come Out of #ldconf

[miss_s_b]

Conference always has its fair share of controversy, but the biggest issue to emerge from it this year is a very serious one. One of our new MPs is in serious need of a nickname, and we haven't agreed what it should be.

Poll #4547 Doctor Julian Huppert MP

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 25

Which nickname is most appropriate for the Minister for Geeks, Doctor Julian Huppert MP?

The Huppster
15 (60.0%)

J Hupp
7 (28.0%)

Something else which I will detail in the comments
6 (24.0%)

YAY! Ticky Boxes! I'm going to tick EVERYTHING!
10 (40.0%)

She's not Beardy enough.

I think it should be written J-Hup.

Possibly this will affect the poll results... Oh noes! A badly formulated study!

There really should be a Ministry of Geekery. :D

Well, Adrian Sanders is the Minister of Rock. He has a radio show and everything!

"That Dorky Science Teacher I Had for Tenth Grade Chemistry" is my vote, going on that photographic evidence alone. XD

Don't have DW to vote

but consider this a vote for JHupp, on the basis that I've heard it before and it therefore must have some sticking power. Geekier than the Huppster (which is a format arguably already taken by the Cleggster).

Did we ever sort out a nickname for Evan Harris? Or was it just "IT'S EVAN HARRIS YAAAAAAYYYYY"?

Wasn't that "Doctor Death", according to the Daily Hate?

Go elemental or, more accurately, isotopic. Hupp-234.

Hello! I am the LJer formerly known as purple_pen, but I have just renamed my LJ, and apparently one consequence of that is that I've lost control of the old OpenID which I was using to read and comment on Dreamwidth - including all the access permissions and subscriptions that were associated with it.

I think I'll still see everything you post here via LJ cross-posts, including anything friendslocked, because your old miss_s_b friends contacts have been automatically updated to include my new LJ username as part of the rename process. But that doesn't extend to my OpenID, which is just functioning as a completely new and separate identity.

So could you please re-grant me access under this new identity? I think you would probably also need to resubscribe to the new ID if you want to see my LJ posts in your DW reading page, too.

Thank you!
