heyyy so I just received my new computar, it's pretty sweet[1] and it's installing Windows right now (which they could have done at the fucking factory and instead deliver it to me in a hibernation-mode state so I'd switch it on and 5 sec later I'd have a fully booted thing running) but ANYWAY

Now it wants to know it's name!

My last netbook was called "anice hedgehog" (but in Dutch) based on the licorice candy I was eating on the road to Denmark when I was installing the thing.

When I reinstalled to Linux I had to pick a name again and I chose the very unoriginal "ritz-netbook" (ritz was my username).

In the past I have named both a computer and a harddisk NYARLATHOTEP and they both broke fairly quickly, sometimes under mysterious circumstances, so I won't do that again.

I'm thinking of "SPAGBOX" maybe.

I want as many suggestions as possible! (and quickly because I kinda wanna continue installing)






[1] except for the screen which the LED backlight bleeds a bit on the left side so it's a bit brighter there which is in fact fucking ugly but I guess I'll have to live with it or something

Rrriiight! The computer Colossus, that's old! :lol: Don't think I've ever seen it, but I must have heard about it somewhere.

It's kinda ironic to name a 12,1" netbook ... well unless of course you count that the previous one was a 10,1"-er so relatively this one is a BIG FAT COLOSSUS ;-)

This is the sort of suggestions I need!

I believe some wireless network in the street here is already named SKYNET

I like Spiggles and Derp-Blue ... also kind of like Ultraturd buuuuut you never know where the network name of a computer is going to show up, next time I'm giving a presentation somewhere and there's this helpful balloon popup that says "Buttpipe Organ is now connected" on the beamer.

Maybe a Discordian weekday.
