About the Name

So, why "Harvey"? Mostly because we liked it, but there are at least 3 other good reasons:

  1. Harvey is a movie, Plan 9 is a movie too.
  2. Harvey is a rabbit, Glenda is a bunny.
  3. Most importantly: in the movie, those who believed in Harvey were thought to be insane, but eventually found not to be.
