Funny computer/server names?

by ottah

Does anyone else set the hostname of their machines to something funny?

I've got two servers, a couple laptops and a handful of wifi enabled devices.

Home Server (Debian stable): PrincessTinyFeet
Public Server (Centos 6): Lontra
Linux Laptop (Debian stable): Lappup
Win7 Laptop: Mr. Pilkington
etc..

You should have called your win7 laptop "Mr. Dilkington" XD

Ricky Gervais show? (Had to google it.)

Pilkington is a reference to Animal Farm by George Orwell. The name stuck in my head and I thought it sounded funny :p

I know what a commodore 64 is :p I have a Commodore 64, Amiga 1000, Tandy color, Timex Sinclair, Apple IIe, IBM PCxt, Heathkit microcontroller, a couple zenith 286 laptops, and some others I can't remember. I kind of collect old computers, I don't have anything really interesting though.

Wow, that's quite a collection. Want another A1000? I'm not using it for anything. I've got a slightly newer A1200/B1260 with a SCSI port, too that I wouldn't mind some help getting files off of.

I actually don't have a power supply for the amiga and have never been able to test it.

Mine is complete. I stopped using it because I moved up. I could at least lend you the power brick if you like.
