How big a nerd are you?

Blitzkrieger

Someone told me yesterday that they were surprised I hadn't named my computer! I'm not that sad!!


..........Inevitably though I got to thinking what I would name it.

unimaginative sap that I am my first thought was to call it "Little Blitzie", but as penis extenions go...............



The next choice was a girl's name. I was thinking that saying "I was up all night with Jenny" wouldn't be too sad but the inevitable "Who's Jenny" would be!

So in the end I still haven't named my computer - nor do I want to. I'm still not that sad, thank god.

What would you name your computer?

P.S. anyone who says HAL get's a Darwin award

bubbles

My computer is called DeVore.. and shes my *****, so hands off.

DeVore

My computer is called "Bubbles".
She's big and expensive but she never goes down on you.

DeV.

Talliesin

My computer is called Cerridwen, and I have a PGD file called Gwion.pgd that decrypts to a drive called Taliesin.

Hands up everyone who gets this joke!

We have a server here called Mother, that I think is a good name for a server. Unfortuately it's a development server, Mother should really be the name of the PDC.

Lucutus

Yes, I am sad...

Server name at home is 'Enterprise', Lucutus obviously for my PC, 'Seven Of Nine' for the g/f's PC and new PC will probably be 'Stellar Cartography'.

Canaboid

Evil.
Speedy.
Slug.
Homer.

Figment

BOB.

Every thing big and stupid should be called bob i think.

regi

Well, I wanted to call the development servers after characters from Ren and Stimpy, but I got argued down, and one got called Mother instead.

Draco

Fenris, lupine, Cerberus (all work machines)

Bard

My PC is called "Kirk". It used to be networked to Lucutus' machine when I shared a house with him. Mine was "Kirk", his was "Lucutus", another guy had "Sisco" and the laptop which was ocassionally connected was "Picard". The workgroup name was "Starfleet".

Sad enough, alright, I guess...

What's sad is not naming the machines but the numerous star trek references Let me guess, the network cables are called wormholes and each room is a different quadrant? heeh

Ahh... no.

The network name of my PC was the only Star Trekky thing about it.

My computer is called "piece of crap" - that's what I call it most anyway.

I haven't gone too far down the nerd road yet and named it.

Hey Kharn - guess who I am.

Manach

Whitestar - a B5 sad person so I am .

Shinji

Currently, my machine is called Shodan; hard drives named after the different countries in Escaflowne; and I haven't thought up a name for the linux box or gateway yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something

I've a friend who works in a company where the main servers are named after planets of the solar system - he once forwarded me a memo which simply said, "There may be some disruption at approximately 3pm as Earth is being rebooted."

SantaHoe

Mine is called HEX0R (for some odd reason!)
And I've named my harddrives after Final Fantasy GF's... Odin and Shiva.
Cute.

For some ungodly reason, my machine on our NT network in work is called "Florence". Everyone else's boxes have cool names from mythology, Lord of the Rings or some such... I inherited a PC from a girl who left the company and I get "Florence"...

Shinji used to have all his hard-drives named after pokemon creatures...it's all true

Excelsior

el presidente's pc is called random kitchen utensils.

mine is called claude after the evil french man who stole my little brother's liver

Shinji

This is a scurrilous accusation, and actually isn't true either.

Although it's not a bad idea - I could call my old PC Pikachu, since the f*cking thing has a screwy PSU and keeps electrocuting me.

Main pc is called Beast. Its called that for a very good reason..
Its an old 486 Full tower Server case. In the process of altering it to fit a ATX MB, i broke 2 drill bits(probable still imbedded in the wall..) and a hacksaw blade. There now exists a jagged hole in the back through which keyboard/mouse/modem are connected. The machine has also developed the tendancy of having its case going life with 120V. I prefer to think of this as an Anti-Theft Feature, and stay out of Arcing range. The twin exhaust fans mounted in the front panel produce a blast of chilled air, garanteed to cause hyperthermia. The case itself is made of heavy sheet metal and doesnt fit correctly. This results in a loud rattling noise due to the vibration caused by the many fans in the system.
And that is why it is called Beast.

the other two are called Pax and Ouster.
