Name that Server

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I wonder if we ought to give our dysfunctional and/or schizophrenic friend a more human name: “Hey, what’s up with {insert name> today ?”, “<insert name>, did you drink too much last night ?” etc, etc, ad nauseam.

I was thinking of ‘Bart’; where BART is an acronym for ‘Bloody Awful Retarded Technology’. But I don’t think that’s good enough.

I suppose there’s a slight problem with paranoia if the acronym is also the name of a poster but given some of our illustrious number, that should be the least of their worries.

Any other suggestions ?

Two more things:

  • Ummmm, maybe I should have put this is IMHO or MPSIMS ? Sorry!

  • I appear to be subscribed to threads I’ve yet to view so either something else is amiss or I’m developing false memory syndrome. It’s only happened about three times but I thought it best to alert you to the server’s latest keep-‘em-on-their-toes’ gambit.

It’s actually happened about 10 times, you just forgot about the other 7. Which answers your question about false memory syndrome, I guess.

I have several names for our server, none of which I shall repeat here.

And yes, MPSIMS would be better. Off we go, hang on!

I can only think of one thing:

Tripler
My $0.02. Keep the change.

How about S.H.I.T. …Stupid Hardware Internet Technology. :stuck_out_tongue:

Fred.

“Fred” was Peter Sellers’ favourite name, on the basis that it spoiled anything that came after it. You just can’t imagine someone called Fred Hitler amounting to anything much…

Hmm… the server at one of my local educational institutions is called Kenny on the grounds that it’s always dieing.

The server at my old college was called BART, but I believe there were more (such as HOMER, etc)
