[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I grokked Sean's naming scheme

Me, too, although I was going to say: NERDS!!! (Having said that, my iBook's hard drive is named Titans Tower and my external hard drive is the Batcave, so I have no real room to mock.)

My work computer is Java Steph (my previous work computer was Java Joe, so I was just continuing the theme).

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Anybody ever named their garage door opener Hal? seems appropriate ....

At work, our tech people named our servers Thing 1 and Thing 2, which makes me smile.

Because books.

I named my tiny, ancient Rio MP3 player "Edith" because she's so old-fashioned.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

That's funny.

I must admit that Dana suggested the spelling. I was calling it Ianto. And she said "shouldn't that be iAnto?" but, it's a perfect name because it does almost everything for me. The only thing it doesn't do is bring coffee :(

My (now departed) desktop was named Giles, and my laptop's name is Ripper. My roomba is named Scooter. The new tivo doesn't have a name yet.

I worked at a company where the server was named Hall of Justice and all of the computers were superheros. I wanted Wonder Woman, but I got Flash. I was talking to the computer guy and he told me that the naming scheme was almost greek gods (with the server being Olympus, of course).

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh, and the external hard drive for Dru was Miss Edith. Now it's attached to Willow.

Goddamnit. I was goign to be productive today. Yesterday I was NOT. I was all "Lalala, got back from trip, on internet, shit, have migraine...will be productive tomorrow"

This morning, log on to email...have email from ex, all "hey, we haven't talked in a while...you should know so you don't hear through the grapevine, you said you wanted to know if I was dating someone seriously, well I am"

Fuck. Now I'm useless and crying and plotting and wondering and all "why did I move to seattle?" and "no one loves me" and "why have I not even kissed anyone in MONTHS?" and "WTF is WRONG with me??" and "Goddamnit!" [edit: All before 9AM. Whcih is just EXTRA wrong]

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

I love my nerdy Buffistas.

Naming my Windows partition was a toss up between Heisenberg and Schroedinger, but I couldn't remember Schroedinger's first name.

Plus, I thought naming a Windows drive with anything even remotely associated with death in any way was pushing my luck too much.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I have no naming "scheme" per se.

The Batcomputer is named the Batcomputer. Or, on occasion, I refer to it as "Bruce".

The laptop is nicknamed "Wheezy" because it's so old it's steam-driven. I believe the copy of Word on it is registered to "E. Whitney"

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Our computers started out being named for our alma maters' mascots--Buffalo and Quaker. When we got our first laptop, it was War Eagle for my family's Auburn loyalties. War Eagle is now mostly dead, and has been replaced by a break in the naming scheme. We named it Niehaus, for the M's announcer.
