Computer names
Ah, that old chestnut. Well in planning my new setup, I need to come up with a naming scheme. I have an old naming scheme, but there was no big pattern to it (basically mythological creatures).
Ideally I’d like something with several sub-classes to it, e.g. DMZ, test, etc.
I’ve so far seen:
- famous computers (e.g. HAL) – popey uses this
- fruit
- grape varieties
- colours
- four horsemen of the apocalypse
- class A drugs (then class B when they ran out, then class C)
- lakes
- cartoon characters
- species of penguin
- …
I wonder if I could do herbs (‘erbs for any Americans 
) and spices. You could split them in to green leaves (parsley, mint), then perhaps spicy or Indian ones. But then I’m starting to struggle a bit.
I think I’ve just found a winner – characters from some classic films:
- Alien
- Aliens
- …
Yes, my mind does have a nasty habit of getting mental blocks on things like this. However some films (e.g. the terminator) don’t actually have many famous characters in it.
