I name my OS's hard / external drives after obscure webtoons/webcomics.
I don't really name anything else at the moment, though. Heck, my VPSes have remained un-named for quite some time. I should really get on that. EDIT: I've decided I'm naming my XP Dell Dimension 4600 "Baja," after the Baha Men. Because the PC was made in 2003, when the Baha Men were still vaguely relevant. [shudder]. Plus the name is short and cute and reminds me of Super Mario Sunshine. And Baja Fresh.

I don't have a habit of naming devices, although I feel like I should. I did name a USB stick after lamprey. ____________________ "Rusted old machines should stay home and play with their toasters!" |

I've never actually owned more than one (usable) computer at the same time, so I've never really had to come up with interesting names for them. Now that I have some network storage at home (that I don't actually use) maybe I should, though.
Closest I've probably come was when I used "polaris" as the name of a web server I was running on the family desktop for a while. Also, my phone is "the mystery phone" for reasons I don't really know (maybe that is the reason?) ____________________ Photo by Luc Viatour |

After Marathon, I name all my laptops Durandal, all my desktops Leela, and all my phones Tycho.
I'm currently up to Durandal II, Tycho III, and, well, I don't actually have a Leela yet. ____________________

I usually name my HDD's after worlds, my old disk that isn't connected currently have a partition for each of the Zelda Oracle game's setting. The Equestria disk is still plugged in currently, I have actually yet to name my new one. My USB stick is called The Moon, which, uh, is mostly a majora's mask reference/joke. Though, I have yet to name my latest disk, hmmm, I should get to that.
As far as computers go I have been kind of lazy? I just name them after myself. ![]() ____________________ [WIP layout as it's being made! 'w' ] |
