Folks, for those who aren't attending IPC's Summercom, today was the first
ever presentation of the Clumpy and Kloumpios awards. Several deserving
volunteers from Technet and IPC Standards received the Clumpy or the
Kloumpious awards. Although the actual statuettes were not available for
presentation due to a logistics issue (several awardees were not in
attendance either due to travel restrictions etc.), the ceremony itself was
fun. Doug and Dave each received an award for their leadership in Technet
(someone can remind me what their category was named) and, just like the
Oscars, the origin of Clumpy and Kloumpios remains disputed. Personally, I
associate the origin of Clumpy and Kloumpios to the appearance of the
Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 (aka The Terminator) somewhere in beautiful
Cedar Rapids, IA. The rest is history...
