Why Call it Mungenetengine?


The Story Behind the Name

munging is a term describing processing things. Converting stuff. Or as the Munge Brothers said, turning data into information. Hey, and we said this wayyy before Uncle Bill started talking about Information at your Fingertips (now where has that gone?)

So, after the breakup of the Munge Brothers, I named my web site in honour of that time in my working career. There are a scant few times in your work-life where you mix and connect with a bunch of collegues and do some really cool stuff.

Anyway, the mungenetengine is just the latest incarnation of using the munge term and applying to something completely different. To make the URL shorter, I have renamed the mungenetengine into mne.
