    What's Your Computer Called?

    After discovering that the X10 servers are named after brands of Vodka, we felt relieved to discover that we were not alone in giving our computers names.

    Our motely collection of repaired roadside surplus lovingly refered to as the 'the kids' (because like children they get sick on occasion, are always demanding new stuff and and need attention) are..

    Hector, Sophie, Sid, Des, Shaun, Sophie Jnr, and a trio of iMacs dubbed Huey, Dewey and Lewy.

    So fess up you geeks, what's yours called?
    The code must flow.

    my desktop and laptop isn't named, but my server, vps, and testing VM's have names.

    vps: Ocelot http://ocelot.stormraidergames.com/
    Windows server: Caracal http://caracal.stormraidergames.com/
    VM: Serval http://serval.stormraidergames.com/ (this won't load for anyone else because only local records point to the right IP, which is a private IP)
    (unused but previously used for a VM router) lynx

    a cookie to whoever knows what those are "WITHOUT" looking them up

    Felines? Oddly enough, I've heard of ocelots being domesticated as pets. Hell, I modeled my Vah Shir in EQ after a lynx. Do I get a cookie?

    I named my laptop Tesla. My fiancee and I named our LAN server Doomgate (mwahahahahaha). I have yet to name my external hard drive... it seems to lack a personality at the moment, but I'm sure one will emerge.
    Taking a break from studying just to post this useless piece of drivel.
