Network Naming themes

[Rhosfelt]

Makes sense, what with things going in and out.


I don't have a network theme, but my external storage devices (except my backup drive) are named after Cowboy Bebop characters (and if I ever get a Drobo or portable HD, ships too).
512MB thumb drive: Ein
2GB thumb drive: Ed
160GB drive: Spike
320GB drive: Jet

I have another case coming in on Tuesday that will hold a 200GB from my G3 tower, which will be my new backup drive. My former backup drive, 120GB, will most likely become Faye.

Yay for Cowboy Bebop!! I believe my Digital camera is still call Ein.

Thanks mate.

Another one of my favorite naming schemes is the Periodic Table of Elements. When you use this scheme you can also use the Symbol or Atomic Number as an alias. Downside is you can't use it for big networks, since it's limited to 118 elements.

…

awesome idea! Radar would surely be the wireless name right? if i got a Mac Pro id call it Hunnicutt.

chris pirillo uses names that start with "i" for his network and computers now that he has an extensive collections of Macs. i think his MBP is called iCarus… cant remember the other name.

mine are pretty boring. the family PC is called "thomas" so is the wireless n etwork, my MBP is called "MacBook Pro" and my brothers work laptop is called "I993944" presumably a work ID.

Network wise, I use Blizzard game names.

Airport Extreme - StarCraft
Linksys WRT54G - WarCraft

Everything else is just "BombBoy's" this and that.
