  • Wifi network and computer network names

    Posted on July 13th, 2007 Will 2 comments

    John Gruber over at Daring Fireball has posted some of the wireless network names his iPhone picked up recently, here are a selection:

    • McJesus
    • TuckerPoo
    • breasts

    I particularly like breasts… Anyway, this started us talking in the 29degrees office about our wireless network and computer names. At the risk of starting a meme, here are mine:

    Wireless network name: foo

    Computer names:

    • Laptop (PowerBook): marmot
    • Linux machines: Patrician and Plebian

    I am interested in Tony, Carl, Dean, Stig and Paul’s nerdy naming conventions. Let’s see how far this can go ;)
