My old company in Ottawa used players from the Ottawa Senators. I prefer to wear gloves when using it, but that's merely a matter of personal hygiene [Roger Wright on VB] Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

I'm a geek, but everytime I repave my laptop I use a different Star Trek ship name...right now I'm on Valiant (a Defiant class vessel, named so after the USS Defiant). The IT guys were baffled one day when the found Defiant in Network Neighborhood. :-D

At the uni I was at, all the servers were named after characters and stuff from the bible: cain, abel, moses, ark etc...

Did Cain send Abel any viruses? How well did Noah handle IP flooding? Or was Ark the firewall that shielded Noah from having to deal with that? :rolleyes:

:laugh: Good one. Actually, they were all running solaris, and then eventually linux, so they were all pretty much the same. They were just for classes and dev stuff, so they were internal access only.

No...I need to watch some Whoopass...I mean Powerpuff girls. :-D Seriously, that is an hilarious show. You gotta watch the movie sometime. It's well worth the rental cost. :) *David hides from the "What are you...a freak?"-type stares that he's getting*

To some people, that stuff's as religious as cain, abel, and noah.

Luke 2:9 - 12 (Slightly ammended) And a Sales Rep from Microsoft suddenly stood before them, and the glory of Bill shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the rep said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the students; for today in the classroom of Ryan there has been born for you a Savior, which is a Windows Server. "This will be a sign for you: you will find a server encased in aluminum and sitting in a rack." I need to go pray for forgiveness now...:-O

Because I know people that would love to attempt to hack into my system (so far 2 failures and a failed Denial of Service attempt) I use cryptic names. My current server may or may not be named comp-aaycky5r1p or something similar. And the workgroup my server belongs to is a word converted to binary, but I can't remember what the word is. I used to use elements of the periodic table of elements such as the noble gases, especially the deadly ones. However I do use friendly names in my hosts file so that I don't have to remember IPs.

One way I enjoy (since I've only worked with tiny networks) is to use fictional characters - like the 7 dwarves, Chip & Dale, etc. My home server is my favorite, though - Mastercylinder. If I could repackage it in a cylinder shape, I probably would.

Unfortunately yes...and yeah, I do actually go to church(otherwise that passage probably wouldn't have sprung to mind). I really should go pray now...I sure hope this house has a good lightning rod system. :~

Where I used to work, until recently; they were named using the department and then a number. the Strip Department had Strip1 to Strip5 and the Metallurgy Lab had MetLab1 to MetLab3. Of course, we installed Sapphire from LabVantage (LIMs system) and the server was MetLabLIMS ...

I've only named 2 computers (Red-Rocket and Pyro) but some of the computer names at work are dev1, lucy, wal (for William A. Lindgren), cadkey, and gatekeeper (the firewall). On campus they name the servers stuff like rocket, saucer, and comet and the labs that have multiple computers are named stuff like gpunix#, dell#, and blade#, replacing # with a number.
