Computer names
Ginger has just partitioned a hard drive into three partitions named "Amber", "Rebma" and "Tir", and concludes she's been playing too much Amber.
I find server names say a lot about the personality of whoever's in charge of the IT network. Someone boring and unimaginitive will name things "uksun1", "uksun2" etc. Other IT network people will name servers after their favourite things:
So far, I've seen
- Boring: "uksun1", "uksun2" etc.
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Galahad", "Lancelot", "Robin" and "I'mNotDead" (What, no Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch?)
- Classical mythology: "Charon", "Styx" (But no "Lethe". I wonder why?)
I'm still waiting for D&D monsters or Cthulhu entities. Do you know of a server called "Otyugh" or "Nylathotep"?
