spiffymonkey   10 #13 Posted March 11, 2005 Originally posted by DanSumption You forgot Lord of the Rings   At one place I worked the file server was Gondor, the backup was Mordor, my dev maching was Eriador and the other developer's machine was Rohan. Are you implying that this behaviour might not be considered... normal?   I've also known servers named after real ales, which I thought was an ace idea.  Anyway, my machines. At the moment I only have three. They are:  Main machine: Maverick Laptop: Fireblade Kids machine: Kids1  Yes, I couldn't be bothered to think of a name for the kids one. I did have a second machine to complement Maverick called Goose, but it died. I should have known that would happen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
torin8   10 #14 Posted March 11, 2005 I've had ones named after Simpsons characters - Milhouse, Flanders, Krusty, Sideshow Bob etc. Always took it very seriously when we bought a new server, sat down with the Simpson's bible picked a few names and then each took turns at discounting a name until we ended up arriving at one  Just bought a new server cluster at my current place - 3 of them and I'm pushing for 'Curly, Larry and Moe' just hope they don't fight like they did in real life!

JoeP Â Â 11 #16 Posted March 11, 2005 The place I'm working at the moment has servers named after characters in The Simpsons. Â We drew the line at ApuNahasapeemapetilon but we are just configuring sideshowbob. Â At home it's 'JoesDesktop', 'Laptop', 'Win95', 'homer' (my Linux box) and a couple of others that I can't remember because they rarely give me grief....
