title: What is "timmy whinge" all about?
body: <p>The <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html">SciTE</a> text editor has an option in its <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc.html">configuration files</a> called "tab.timmy.whinge.level".</p>
  
  <p>What's the story behind this name?</p>
  
  <p>As I understand it, "whinge" is a British-ism for "whine" -- Google <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=whinge">defines</a> it as "complain persistently and in a peevish or irritating way". So who exactly is Timmy, and what is he whining about? There's got to be a story there.</p>
  
  <p>It's not really relevant to anything, but every time I see that option in the docs, I have to wonder.</p>
