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. |

Home machine: Barth
Work machine: Pynchon Wife's machine: Computer My Laptop: Dell_Laptop 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. |

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 / $"

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. )
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.

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."

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." |

Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies. |
