That reminds me of a former head IT guy we had; company's in Colorado so all servers were named after ski resorts. Eventually, the new head IT standardized it into some cryptic name with a number.

Damn, I miss logging into PussySwallows.

Wait. That was a fucked up dream I had.

At Lightspeed Cash we used the numbers that National Net assigned to them.

For some reason at Yanks cash we call them magic 1, magic 2, etc. Not sure why that is.

gornyhuy · 02-07-2006, 08:59 PM

Back in the day I had a server farm in a UUNET datacenter and we named them after carribean islands, starting with the lower right hand corner and working our way up.

The ones I remember most clearly were:
trinidad, tobago, st lucia, barbados

No, just old hardware and probably has bad memory. I use it to test shit.
