This wasn't an oversight, just a bit of failed translation. Julien mentioned it in the original launch thread, but Tampon in French loosely translates to "buffer." See what happened there? Give the fella a break.
- engtech 14y agoThanks for the clarification -- I'd never heard of circular/tampon before so I wasn't aware of what had happened, hence my question. I'm even one of those people who never figured out what buffer app was for despite all their posts on HN.
