SGI: Discussion

I didn't know that you had stuff like this !

I now have perfectchaos, machop, and brainstorm. You should be able to figure which is which if you really care.

Octane 2 is named Tchaikovsky
My Router is called Bruckner
Macbook is called Rachmaninov
My flatmates laptop is Dvorak and his girlfiends one is called Brahms.

I guess most here are seeing a pattern emerge

My naming convention is mostly based on heroes, mythical figures and fantasy characters (fixed blooper), though there's a few oddballs in there, too, mostly cats.

Dual Opteron workstation: Gilgamesh
Sun Blade 2000: Enkidu
Octane R12k/400x2: Saruman
Octane R10k/250x2: Bellerophon
Indigo2 R10k/195: Perseus
Sun Ultra 60 US2/450x2 (firewall): Daedalus
Sun Ultra 2 US2/400x2: Icarus - also hosts a zone called Melchior
Sun Ultra 80 US2/450x4: Heracles
Sony notebook: Mithrandir
Macintosh Quadra 950: Elminster
Roomie's AMD Phenom PC: Athena
AMD Athlon64 X2 storage server (Solaris machine): Phoenix
Power Macintosh G4/Mystic: Serval
Sun Ultra 60 US2/360x2: (tentatively) Bobcat
SPARCStation 20: Legolas
Random Pentium 4/3200MHz PC: Loki
Pentium III/650 OPENSTEP box: Caracal


Indigo2 R8k, Indigo2 R4400SC, O2, Sun Ultra 10 - decommissioned due to hardware problems

^^ you guys are going to make me cry. Don't people read the classics at all anymore ? "Theme from 2001, a Space Odyssey" ??

SGI Octane2 - Dauntless
SGI O2 ------ Interceptor
PowerMac G5 - BlackPearl
MacBook Air -- FlyingDutchman

Yes, I really liked the movies.

hrmm...

OK heres my network names:

Cisco 1841 (paso)
Cisco 2950 (pantah)
Cisco 1130 (magny)
HP JetDirect (marianna)
BSD Fileserver (mars) <b>*hopefully this becomes an o350 or altix350*</b>
Mac Pro (monster)
Lenovo T60p (apollo)
Wife's HP Laptop (imola)
Origin 2000 (machone)
Octane (desmo)

Indy and Indigo2 at this point are pretty much permantly offline and the new Fuel (in transit) will likely inherit desmo as its hostname from the Octane

thats all i got...

not counting blackberry's ps3's xbox360 wii etc...

there all named after racing things... but mostly Ducati models =P

I think my next SGI will be named... IRIS You are allowed to have one, right?

I have a thinkpad x40 named kaon and now an alphastation 600 named tachyon.

Power 275 - Tifa
Fuel - Aeris
Laptop - Yuffie
PC - Barret
iMac - Vanessa

Mainly figures From Final Fantasy VII except the Mac.

O2: psyko
Octane2: daikatana
Indy: immolator
Indy: incinerator
Indigo2: manana
Challenge S: kitt

I left my Octane as Iris - I thought it was a cool name. Of course, I'll have to come up with a related name for my new Origin. Maybe Tulip?

My other major systems are named:

Aeon - Fafner - Constantine - Gibson - Lucy - Sark - Pillar Of Autumn - Jorj X

They used to all be named after Greek and Roman heroes, but it's been drifting for about 6 years.

My Indy also has this name, but inspired by http://www.aeonthegame.de/



There is a big VAX 7000/820 in Germany with this name, impressive machine

Ok, the other machines floating around here:

The "Scifi-inspired" group:

Octane #1: trinity, from the "Matrix" character
Octane #2: lexa, from Lexa Doig
VW320 : 7o9, from the StarTrek Voyager character obviously
Apple ibook: andromeda from the ship in "Gene Roddenberrys Andromeda"
IBM Thinkpad 760EL: neo, "Matrix" again

The "MYST" group:

Origin200 4CPU: isyeer, from the D'ni word for 'revere'
Origin200 2CPU: bilaris, an age in the Myst series
Lantronix print server: riven, another age
AMD Athlon PC: shimar, yet another age
AMD Geode PC: atinor, D'ni word most likely for 'source'
Compaq Notebook: lakiahn, an age

The "machine name = host name" group (which was my original naming scheme):

DEC Vaxstation 3100: VAX3100
DEC Vaxstation 4000/60: VAX4000
Apple Mac LC: MAC

The "other name" group:

Indigo2 : proxima
IBM Intellistation R: fhui
Intel PII server: bathor
Early i386 PC (DTK): trevor
Cisco 2514 router: spider

So, thats all. Hope i didn't forget anything...

Gah! I can't believe I never thought of this! >_<
Should I ever find an Octane and Octane 2 of any spec, I'll name the Octane Bub and the Octane 2 Bob .
Bubble Bobble works so well.

they are all there in my sig...

I think it should be fairly easy, but just for those who have never heard of these names, they are all names of steely dan songs..

Manticore
Imprimis
Jake
Rocktane
Raptor
Nedry
SunFire 880: Volition
IBM Intellistation 270: Calypso
Generic Athlon 64 X2 box: Fireball X

There are more, many more, but I don't want to steal the thread

Everyone has cooler names than I do. ;.;

Given the fact that my SGI's have been out in the rain and skipped for a while my first woking octane is rustbucket1 and my mostly working O2 will be spidersnest .

As a rule I tend to use computer names from sci-fi so:
My main PC - zen from Blakes 7
Old server PC - proteus from Demon seed
One laptop - orac - Blakes 7 again.
Kids pc - M5 from Star Trek TOS
Music Pc - hal from 2001
Guitar effects laptop - max from The Thirteenth Floor (Obscure comic strip)
And breaking the rules:
Big laptop - lonewolf from Lonewolf & Cub
Netbook - cub from Lonewolf & Cub
And the xbox is holyXbeing
