Why Eventyr?

Ok, so I should clarify the choice of name for this site.

Eventyr directly translates from Norwegian as 'adventure'.  I use it for this meaning as it represents the adventure that is my PhD research. 

However, the word is also used (as in Folke-eventyr) for folk-tales. 

This is doubly representative as I am also in the process of collecting folk-stories about software development. 

(That and I grew up with the Asbjørnsen and Moe folkeeventyr.)
