Random funny bit

    I was watching a video about performance networking in game development and a guest speaker named Kyle kept referencing his work on optimizing the network stack at "Pantheon" where he worked.  I don't know for sure there is a Kyle working on the network stack for VR but I thought I'd google him to learn more (it was a very interesting discussion).  What I found was, well, you decide:

    That there is a company out there named Pantheon wasn't the only thing I found amusing.  They also offer a service named Terminus.  I don't really know what they do, I didn't bother to click back to their home page.  But I thought some of you might also find this coincidence mildy amusing so here we are :)

    If there really is a Kyle working on PRotF's network stack, hi! Thanks for the video (of a stream), it was really helpful!

    These kinds of things are my personal proof that the Universe has QUITE the sense of humor :)

    That's funny. I think I've stumbled upon that company before when researching Pantheon stuff. PRotF's Lead Programmer is named Kyle, but it's Kyle Olsen not Kyle Taylor. "Pantheon" and "Terminus" are both pretty generic names, so I shouldn't be that surprised. But still, what a coincidence.
