Computer naming
Jun. 9th, 2010 08:12 amI'll be building the basement server tonight, and I need a name. Given that its purpose is to sit unseen in the basement and provide storage, logging and other such necessary but unglamorous services, I was thinking "pump19".
All the other machines in the house are mostly named for cartoon characters, but I couldn't think of a suitable one. Other machine names are Daggett, Penfold, Gir, Zim and mythbox.

Actually I forgot an Angry Beaver based one. My little netbook is called Bing (it's little and annoying). The network SSID here is moria, and Kate's notebook is Mirkwood.
I suppose I could stick with Angry Beavers and call it Stump.
I still haven't thought of anything that's more *appropriate* than pump19 though.
