Mine are normally called stuf like "Macbook" "PC" "Missus_Laptop" The WiFi doesn't broadcast SSID (obviously), but is at the moment called "f*ckyeah" for no reason other than the router giving me crap every now and then.
I see she's been two timing you Neal. Take the harlot to bits! Edit: You also sound like Frank Spencer when you write it like that.
My computer is called "My Computer" simple and effective! My old housemate used to call his Frank. This was most amusing, especially when Frank often crashed or froze or didnt work properly.....which was most of the time. At my work the IT guys before I got here named the servers after Greek gods depending whats on each one. This still confuses me today!
Rename them to karma sutra positions. She will then want you to name them what you had them in the 1st place. My network id is GooseintheHoose
Whoever builds the computer gets to name it, simple. We use a handful of naming conventions at work. User's machines are prefixed with it's physical location and a number increment, so <room><number>. It makes it easy to group machines in the console and in software such as LanView. The servers are slightly different. Officially they're <site><server><number> otherwise they're physically labelled (and referred to in the office) as; Roswell, Majestyk, Freedom, Manhattan, Trinity et al. As technicians, we label our own kit <room><random>, so being the responsible adult that I am, my kit is all named after Neon Genesis Evangelion characters. Did anyone else read this in a Kung Pow, Master Betty accent?
I can almost tell when this happens and I have a family, that computers will be named after the 18 great Primarchs of the Space Marines ^.^
I misread that... I thought "What...positions we had? - in that case EVERY pc on my ex's network would be called Missionary..." and then i
find out what gender the pc is before naming it.... Open your notepad Type or copy paste: CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak"I love you" Save as computer_sex.vbs Run the file. If you hear a male voice, you have a boy if woman’s, it’s a girl. Wife's not too happy finding out the pc's a bitch
How amusing. Turns out my work computer's a woman. Going to be doing this with all my computers now, and any one elses I come across
Mostly the names of various hardware on our network reflects what the actual box is so we have things like mybookworld1, mybookworld2, Marc_pc and so on. The only thing we have named different is the SSID of our wireless which is Ratatoskr, an appropriate name as that is the squirrel which carries messages up and down Ydrassil (the tree of life) in Norse Mythology. I seem to remember that Games Workshop used Gork and Mork for the office data servers at head office, always used to get emails saying things like "Gork is getting full, please delete things you no longer need".
Seeing as you've stuck with bird names, next time her computer comes up for a renaming, call it 'Coot'. Or Crow. Or Scrubbird. Bluetit? Welcome Swallow? Straw-Headed Bulbul? I tend to name mine after cartoon characters. Turns out my work computer is a rather husky sounding woman. Or it could be a man on estrogen. Hmm...
