Naming schemes (was upcoming classiccmp wierdness)

Servers are all named after Scandinavian cities (stockholm, oslo [soon], helsinki, reykjavik and thule). Clients are all named after significant people in their development, such as my desktop Mac = bryan (Bryan Stearns), C64 = jack (Tramiel), C128 = bil (Herd), games 486 = Alex (St. John, the former Microsoft DirectX evangelist), PM 7100 = carl (Sagan, after its code name), ... Laptops and portables are all named after dogs, such as rover (SX-64), fido (HP95), spot (PC-4), lassie (PC-2), ... Game systems all have girls' names starting with S: Sylvia (Sylvania Intellivision), Stella (VCS 2600), Sadie (Dreamcast: Dreamcast -> DC -> CD -> "Sadie"). Clusters have anime family names. The cluster I'm thinking of putting together to do distributed Veronica-2 searches will be akane, kasumi and nabiki. There, that's pretty geeky. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
