Do you name your tech?

[suityou01]

I have to identify the kit on the network in some way. Systematic names take all the fun out of it. My kit are named after flowers - daisy, rose, hyacinth, rhododendron, fuchsia etc.

I knew it!!!! You own and use cruet set don't you!

Minor Discworld characters for most of mine.

"Am I dead?"

"YES."

"Really?"

"YES."

"Bugger."

"IF YOU'D CARE TO FOLLOW ME..."

[stek]

Functional and descriptive naming schemes only - I look down on anything else with the disdain that they deserve.

What, you mean like 'pornserver1' and 'bankdetailserver2'?

A place I worked called stuff birds names, such as swan, heron, goldfinch, gerbil, nuthatch, treecreeper, etc.


It was mildly amusing in those far off days.

Flying Gerbils?

A place where I worked previously named their servers after Thomas the Tank Engine engines.

Current client co have a very confusing system which is logical but took me a year to work out. Dev machines have an 'adi' inserted in the middle of their name - still not worked out what that's supposed to stand for, and not helped when the iis server is called .....adiiss instead of ....adiiis
