What have you named your PC?
« on: August 28, 2004, 06:16:05 am »
Well this is a thread to share the name of your computer.
My computer\'s name is Jane. I named it after Jane from Speaker For the Dead of the Ender Quartet by Orson Scott Card.
If you think I have no life, well you are absolutly correct!

Mine is called mekbuda ( \"lion\'s paw\" ).  Since our LAN is called Gemini all the computers are a named after a star in that constellation.

^^ Wow and I thought the name \"Toby\" was original...naming your computer like this is kind of weird?

Well, mine\'s had two names for a while... We named the computers in our network after artificial intelligences, and here goes a list:

Server in living room - Xerxes
Room-mates computer - Shodan
bf\'s powerbook (cos it\'s shiney and pretty ;) ) - Andromeda (Ascendand)
My machine in Linux was named after the Russian counterpart to SkyNet which I seem to be unable to remember and even find any reference to online :P
My machine in Windows was called SkyNet

Later, though, I moved out and my machine changed name ;) Now it\'s called Sol (i.e. the Sun)
The physical drives on my machine are named
Earth (contains music)
Moon (a dry, irratiated wasteland where nothing productive will grow, i.e. my Windows system drive ;) )
Jupiter (large and bloated, my biggest drive, which contains movies ;) )

This of course also means that my \'new\' iBook will be named Proxima (as in the star) and since that only has one drive and we know not wether there are planets at Proxima or not, yet anyway, I\'m safe there ;)

That was a bit long-winded, sorry ;) But there you have it, you asked for it ;)

My Internet Server is called : Iterici ( the first nickname i had )
My Domain controller is called : Sirvice
( after service but then scrambled)
The server in my room is called : Dorbian-Server 2 (The second server i bought, it deserves a grant name )
My Workstation is called : Dorbian ( best possible name, my own nickname )
My laptop is called : Magnama ( one of my other nicknames )
My other laptop is called : Iferniton ( again one of my other nicknames )
My mothers MAC ( grose ) is called : Marijke ( her name )
And my dads MAC ( grose some more ) is called : Henk ( also his name )

( i\'m goin to ban them from my network :P )

Then we have the wireless network
The Wireless acces point is called : Dincor ( dunno how i came up with this )
