My name is…

I don’t usually get into these things, but the latest meme om Planet Ubuntu is to specify your machine names… here goes…

My machines were originally named after album names. Then after songs as well, and now also from movies…

Disclaimer is my work laptop. Disclaimer comes from the Seether album, Disclaimer.

Sawdust is my Mac Mini. It comes from the Killers‘ album, Sawdust.

Bleach is my 12-incher, from the Nirvana album, Bleach.

Geep is a Classmate PC that I do testing for Edubuntu on, from the Gorillaz Geep album.

Hal9000 is used for all kinds of cpu intensive things. Hal9000 is from the movie 2001, A space odyssey.

There’s more on http://jonathancarter.co.za/my-computers, which I’ll update some time and add more pics.

Wow. I’ve got just one machine. It’s called “hoera”. I up the first letter with each new release of Xubuntu I install - for Gutsy it was called “gay”, and now with Hardy it’s “hoera”, which is Dutch for “Hooray”.
