Just an old IT Geek. Been in computers since 1984 and a technology information hoover since then. Cut my teeth on the TRS-80 then mainframes and the good ole original IBM 5150 dual 5.25" disk drive PC got me hooked on the PC solutions. If It's tech related, I've likely done it.

Currently serving my sentence of Tech Director - Tech Foundations Group & Data Center Operations Manager for 84.51°.

Star Trek/Dr. Who/Star Wars follower..and pretty much all SciFi stuff.

Re-organizing the and currently stuck on , naming things. My brain thinks it'd make most practical sense to name things by function, e.g. workstation01, firewall01, cluster01node01, etc. (which adds the question of how many leading zeroes), would like to name things with geeky references e.g. FUCKUP, Ozma, 7of9, etc. (which runs into issues as soon as you try for a coherent theme of enough components...), and is worried that from a security perspective something memorable yet unrelated to its function might be wise, e.g. blue charybdis, amber cyclops, periwinkle gorgon (But then I'm not running a spy agency here... as far as you know :-P).

@lpwaterhouse I used to use 'fun' names way back in the day...but over the last 5 years I've rebuilt my entire / family production network to be named by function. At my old age, I've been thinking about when I'm gone and someone has to cleanup/manage this environment for my wife (aka my sons)...having server/container names around function will make it easier to document and determine which is essential and which can be turned off.
