The naming scheme of systems in the hackspace (hostname) is "people involved in computing" [1] [2]. This includes pioneers in similar relevant fields. Please note that pronunciation and spelling difficulties may rule out names like Dijkstra, Kay and Hoare.
Old names
Names used on systems no longer in use.
- Knuth
- Church (Router)
- Lovelace (Workstation for Makerbot)
- Flowers (Media PC)
- Difference - Public Terminal
- Shannon (IRC Terminal)
Dennis - Random spare goodish pc.gone.- Capek Lobby display
Current names
machines should be available as hostname.lan.hackspace.org.uk from inside the space (just hostname should work). some machines are available from the outside as hostname.hack.rs or hostname.london.hackspace.org.uk
- Asimov small pc used for talking to robots Asimov.
- Babbage (Server in the space)
- Bell (Door entry/building management)
- Bowyer - another 3D printing machine
- Booch emoncms power monitoring raspberry pi thing Grady Booch
- Boole (Boole) - dhcp, dns, ntp, syslog etc.
- Caxton HP Laserjet 2200D Printer
- Equipment/Colin sort of fileserver, was netbootyboxxy Colin.
- Denning network services machine (ldap/spacenet, netboot, zoneminder) (was boole) Denning.
- Gill - Environment monitoring Raspberry Pi Gill
- Hamming new doorbot machine Richard Hamming
- Hopper (Vending machine)
- Lorentz Dell Laptop
- Layzor -- (Patel was formerly the PC for laser cutter)
- Marconi (Spare laptop 1, needs wireless drivers installing) - source
- Perlman A DoorBot Perlman
- Postel (The SGI O2)
- Torvalds New 3D Printing Machine
- Tesla Replacement for Lovelace
- Turing (Bitfolk VM)
- Equipment/Turk Guest Laptop.
- Wilkes front doorbot (Like Wilson) Wilkes
See Laboratory 24/Network for details on these machines.
Potential new machines currently under discussion
- Borg (Anita Borg) - replacement for babbage and vm server
- Zeus (Konrad Zuse) - 64 core, 512Gb RAM compute server.
- Lamarr Lamarr or Hedy (sp?)
Potential names

- Beer - Regulatory systems
- Black - Feedback amp
- Brown - Servomechanics

- Dirac - Quantum mechanics
- Edison - Electrical engineering
- Erwin - Userfriendly character
- Faraday
- Flood - Prisoner's dilemma, travelling salesman problem
- Gray - Music synth
- Heron - Automata
- Hollerith - Automated punch card systems, his company eventually became IBM
- Korolyov - Rocket science
- Markov
- Maxwell - Electromagnetic theory
- Moog
- Norton - Circuit analysis
- Pitts - Neural Networks
- Reeves - PCM
- Simon - AI
- Smith - RF analysis
- Stob - Satirist
- Tesla
- Watt - Steam Engine Bad-Ass
Potential names not from the scheme
