[thechat] Naming Conventions (was: Re: OT - Seeking Laptop Advice)

[Luther, Ron]

<many /> noted cool server names:

Rats!  A quick scan of my local TNSNAMES file reveals only boooooring 
server names here.  ;-(

I knew the server guy for the international architect's site ... they 
used local sports hero names: "Hakeem", "Barkley", ...

[I won't mention the problems the US Navy is currently running into 
regarding their poor choice of server name! Or the unfortunate name 
of the poor fellow in charge of putting a spin on the issue!]

However, I still think there is room for additional creative abuse, 
especially in a reporting sense:

* 'The_Mice_R' ... running at 80% capacity.

* 'The_Diaper' is 96% full. (We'll have to clean that out!)

* 'The_Plague' is replicating nicely to our branch offices!

* Your app is running on 'Empty' / 'Full' / 'Fumes' / 'Kerosene'.

* Can you ping 'Pong'?  Can you hit 'The_Spot'?

* We've lost 'Money' / 'Time' / 'Resources' / 'Imagination' / 
'Our_Lunch' / 'Our_Lunch_Money'.

* I can see 'For_Miles_And_Miles'.  (I kinda like that one. Much 
better than 'England', 'France', and ... whatever that last one 
was.)  [Oh yeah? I can see 'Thru_Walls'!]

* Can you bounce 'The_Ball' / 'The_Check' / 'The_Hooligan'?

* What's 'It' called? ("Yes.")


Fun!

(Hey, at least I didn't say " 'Your_Shorts' are estimated to be 
down for another 3 hours." ... or "We expect 'His_Lunch' to come 
back up in an hour.".)
