Space and other Celestial Bodies
That last entry reminded me about a naming convention I have.
A few years ago, I bought a laptop computer. It was a Toshiba Satellite and I must admit, it has been like an old friend for a number of years. I called that computer Satellite.
When I got my next one, I called it Comet, even though the model name of the laptop wasn't anything to do with space. My next computer has the name Asteroid. At one stage, I also owned a server called Meteor.
Now that I've kinda used up those names, I started a new naming convention for my new computer. I found a list of Jupiter's moons and started at number one. This new computer is called Metis. I don't think I'll ever get up to 63 however, though the naming goes a bit funny from 41 onwards.
The other convention I have is for servers, but again that is so far still at number one. The convention for my servers is Liverpool FC players and ex-players. My first server didn't have a name, but my current one is called Fowler.
Maybe in the future when VPS or Dedicated Servers are a lot cheaper, I'll be able to get a whole solar system or football team!
