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


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

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

    wink.gif

    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

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

    DeV.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,831 ✭✭✭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'.

    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.

    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... wink.gif

    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.

    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 smile.gif

    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." smile.gif


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


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