Mascot deployed
Like 38% of software development organizations globally, we use characters from The Simpsons as host names for our servers and dev boxes. While perhaps not as cool as LOTR characters, The Simpsons are a good choice as their names usually short (less typing) and there are several hundred of them- a number suspiciously close to the number of addresses on a /24 network.
My RHEL 4 dev box is called Moe, my 2nd favourite character (CBG is #1). For some reason I told my girlfriend this and rather than run screaming in the other direction she bought me a very cool Bobble-head Moe by Funko. He’s now cheering me on as I battle deeply-nested control structures on a daily basis.
Thanks babe!
