Computer & Wifi Names
Trendsetter that he is, co-29degrees’er Will has started a meme on network and computer names following John Gruber’s post.
I would love to report that mine are all named affectionately after saucy female conquests (claudia, delilah, naughtynora, etc) — but that would be a bare-faced lie. Instead, they were christened after places I visited around the time I set them up. I have a “geneva”, a “banus” a “barcelona” and, from before I started doing that, a “gatsby”, as in The Great. With any luck, “skegness” will be up next.
My office machine is called “snarf” as, for a reason that seemed sensible at the time, we opted for Thundercats for our hardware naming “scheme”.
My wifi network is fairly unimaginatively just called “cloud”, although I’m tempted to change that to “tehinternets”.
Should they care to play, I’ll pass this on to Adam Brault (in an attempt to get a post out of him), Adam McMaster, Derren Wilson, Steven Garrity and Paul Nixon.
