our local domain here is ramtops.org. All the machine and routers and cameras and Things are named after Discworld characters and places - at some point, if anyone cares, I'll do a (almost certainly non-definitive) list*.

my main machine is Weatherwax, a dual G5 2.5Ghz Mac - her original hard drive is named Cottage. Yesterday [livejournal.com profile] perlmonger fitted another 250Gb drive in her, which I'm sorry to relate I named Privy. And this afternoon I moved the iTunes library into the privy.

for some extremely juvenile reason, I find that quite entertaining.

if you've never read any Terry Pratchett, none of the above will make any sense whatsoever, so don't worry your pretty little heads.

*[livejournal.com profile] perlmonger informs me that we currently have 44 Discworld names assigned to the LAN. That is *so* depressing ...

Mine are all Victorian SF authors. Kipling, Griffith, etc. Can't imagine why...

My modem/router is named bagpuss. A pair of matching machines are named ren and stimpy. You may observe a pattern...
