A Meme: It's Name is ...

After hearing about a meme which is just being started up (which appears to be stating one's naming scheme for computers; an example and the originator), I feel like joining in.

So, My desktop computer's name is BlackBird, after the song by the Beatles. My laptop is LongAndWindingRoad, and the two systems at the ACCRC which I use frequently are called GlassOnion and TheWalrus. In theory, the power cables (all of the cables, actually) of these computers are collectively referred to as NothingToGetHungAbout. I'm not sure if I'll stick to this naming scheme in my next system, but if I do it will probably be either HelterSkelter or OldBrownShoe (the former for a desktop, the latter for a laptop/portable system).

Sure, it's not a very unique or special naming scheme, but it works, and it's fairly easy to remember. (I might even set the start-up music to match the systems names).

Don't worry, I'm still working on my next real blog post, on Yosemite. It's coming along fairly well, but I kept on getting headaches while writing it, so I stopped. I'll finish it by Sunday.
