    Wow! I like Time Collision so much better. Its so much more graphic.

    Also today I came up with “time wallet” instead of “wristwatch”. Sure. This may make a little more sense if you know that I tend to lose both wallet and watch. Not nearly as good as “time collision”, though!

    In both cases, Josh knew exactly what I meant. He’s got Cam-speak down pat.

    Time collision is a great phrase. Perhaps you can ask Josh to post it on his site and see if it catches on. “I can’t do that. I’ve got a time collision.” Awesome.

    Oh yes, I’m going to use that from now on! My Bugzilla app (Open source bug reporting thing-a-ma-bob) says “Mid-Air Collision” when two people are trying to update the same record.
