I'm not sure about the etymology of Hugin, but Huginn is more than likely a reference to Norse mythology (for Anchorman fans, you'd recognize it as "Great Odin's raven!"):

It specifically states it in the readme that Huginn is a reference to the raven.

Yep -- I understand where the name comes from, I just personally find it very frustrating when two OSS projects are so closely named. It gets really hard to search for one or the other once both become successful.

(I also have this complaint about a lot of the single-word named OS X applications... Unless they have a LOT of traction then it's hard to find specific info on them.)

Had to debug a Cucumber problem involving recipes in a Chef cookbook. I was building up a TDID toolchain at the time. After wading through six google pages of salad, decided to use different tools.

That's a pretty amusing example, but I'd be surprised if prepending 'ruby' to your query wouldn't have fixed it.

A moot point now, but the query wasn't the problem.
