Ham sandwiches and coffee, at least together, are not my favourite thing. Individually, great. But neither of those have anything to do with the name of this blog. The java of course is Java. The Ham part? Well there used to be a manager (at my current place of employment) that used to say "this place could complicate a ham sandwich". So it is very much a Dilbertesque sort of thing.
I suppose "java sandwich" could also be an allegory to layers of complexity in the world of software development. This would also be true, but it is the tendency to unnecessarily complicate things that don't need to be complicated that really inspires the name. Plus it is sort of silly, which appeals to the Monty Python fan in me. Also, every other domain name was taken. Almost literally.
