My final year project is a distributed whotsit that looks after your diary, arranges meetings with other people's whotsits, tells you when your whotsit has a meeting booked that you are going to be late for if you don't shift yourself .... etc,etc. It's basically a diary manager but just for the hell of it it has no centrally stored data or any central control so does everything by message passing and distributed searching type stuff ... ... thats the background. Now, what do I call it? I've been trying to find the name of a god of timekeeping or something along that line but nothing appropriate has popped up. Does anyone know of a god/titan/etc that got split up for any reason? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance [email replies will be acknowledged if UK but I can't mail abroad :-( ] Kevin ---------------------------- "Information makes the world go around, money just oils the bearings"
