Dear nerdfolk,
If you're the sort of person who names their computers *and* has a naming scheme for them - what are they named and what's your naming scheme?
@datarama One place I worked at liked to do this, and we tried a few different "themes" (Star Trek, Comics, etc.) Partly difficult because we wanted the names to match the function. The best match we found was Sesame Street. The web server was "cookiemonster", the federated database machines were "bert" and "ernie", etc. No one really liked it, but it fit our machine functions, so we used that.
Now I use boring names: DC-01, DC-02, WSUS-01, WKS-22, SRV-05, etc.
@agreeable_landfall When I was at university, the fleet of SPARC workstations had a bizarre mix of names, because some of them had been in service for a long time, and different generations of machines had their own naming schemes. One was Simpsons characters, one was the seven dwarves from Snow White, and one was Star Wars characters.
