My computer's name is Foot-Rest, because that's its other job.

Apartment computer: Grandson of Frankenstein. Man is it ugly, and by it's name you can tell it's not the first I've had like this.
Friend's basement: Chadsux. A bunch of us have spare computers in Chad's basement, since we hang out there a lot, and there's always mad LAN gaming going on. The whole Chadsux thing is like a logo we assign to everything, because Chad does indeed suck.

I started out on a good Post-Modernist American Novelists theme, and then got lazy.

Our servers at work are named after ancent cities. Athens, Rhodos, Jericho, Carthage, etc. At first we were naming them in alphabetical order, but then a couple of customers rented dedicated boxes and we matched the first letter to the first letter of their company, and then the order was all hosed up, so now we're just shotgun-patterning the alphabet with ancient city names.

SecretMethod70 04-21-2003 02:58 PM

um, I don't actually name my computer as in calling it something other than "my computer" but if you mean what name I give the system, Windows is called "SecretMethod70" and in Linux it is secret.method.com, this way, when I'm using console, I see "brian@secret / $"

rubicon 04-21-2003 02:59 PM

Cosmos and Eclipse. Then I got lazy with Encoder and MacG4.

My Windows PC is called samsara (a Buddhist term for the endless cycle of birth, suffering, death, and rebirth ... which, if you replace 'birth' with 'booting' and 'death' with 'crashing', describes my experience with Windows to a T. :p)

My Linux box is called arianne, after a friend of mine. It's actually the third machine to have that name and probably the sixth or seventh OS installation that that name has carried through (I've run a few different Linux distros as well as Free and OpenBSD). The first was a 386 running Slackware... I needed a hostname for it, and I asked my friends on IRC, and a friend of mine suggested that I name it after her. So I did. :D

You know, I never even considered giving them cool names. But, I will next time. I get geekier all the time. A geek wannabe?

KillerYoda 04-23-2003 09:03 PM

I named it "Lee Harvey Oswald" at a LAN once, cause I was using it as my CounterStrike name at the time, and never changed it.

My 16-port switch is labeled as "The Switch of Doom."

cheerios 04-24-2003 12:05 AM

the iMac 700 combo is Bansai, which is short for electronic bansai. the PC is FrankenMac or FrankenBob or even OldBob, depending on which name we're using, and, of course, THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT is common as well.

Mook 04-24-2003 06:00 AM

computer 1= pc-cola
computer 2=le2isomethingsomethingsomething.

I should rename that one. i guess the entire reason for giving them a name is to remember what their name is.

my hp is "HAL", and my Compaq is named "KRYTEN." If you know who Kryten is, you truly have good taste.

ChipX86 04-25-2003 11:37 PM

The firewall is C-sik. My main box is Trinity. Our <a href="http://www.irlp.net/">IRLP</a> node is Dexter. My Zaurus SL-5500 is Dino, and my Zaurus SL-5000D is Mite.

Not much of a standard naming scheme there.

redravin40 04-26-2003 08:17 AM

Mine isn't very original.
It's named RavinsBox.
My old one was named Abbie.
Since it was cobbled together from a number of different computers I had thought about naming it Frankenstein but that is the doctors namd not the the monsters.
So I used a line from Young Frankenstein.
"Who's brain was this?"
"Abbie something."

Apody 04-26-2003 08:49 AM
