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. These can be recycled with care after a sensible period of time.
- Knuth
- Church (Router)
- Lovelace (Workstation for Makerbot)
- Flowers (Media PC)
- Difference - Public Terminal
- Shannon (IRC Terminal)
- Dennis - Random spare goodish pc
- 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
- adminstuff a poorly but accurately named server for admin "stuff"
- Asimov small pc used for talking to robots [3].
- Babbage general purpose server in the space, moribund
- Bell Asterisk IP Telephony Server
- Bowyer another 3D printing machine
- Booch emoncms power monitoring raspberry pi thing [4]
- Boole main router, dhcp, dns, ntp, syslog etc. [5]
- Caxton HP Laserjet 2200D Printer
- Colin sort of fileserver, was netbootyboxxy [6]
- Denning network services machine (ldap/spacenet, netboot, zoneminder) (was boole) [7].
- Gill environment monitoring Raspberry Pi [8]
- Hamming new doorbot machine [9]
- Hopper vending machine
- Lorentz Dell laptop
- Lamarr hypervisor for VMs
- Layzor aka Patel laser cutter
- Marconi spare laptop 1, needs wireless drivers installing [10]
- Perlman back doorbot (like Wilkes) [11]
- Postel the SGI O2
- Torvalds new 3D Printing Machine
- Tesla public workstation, replacement for Lovelace
- Turing Bitfolk VM, runs the website
- Turk guest laptop
- Wilkes front doorbot (Like Perlman) [12]
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.
Potential names
Potential names on the edge of the scheme
- Adams - UUNET
- Armstrong - FM
- Backus - Naur Form
- Beer - Regulatory systems
- Black - Feedback amp
- Brown - Servomechanics
- Darwin
- 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
- Bubbles, Buttercup & Blossom
- FuzzyWhif
- heck-a-tombical plus minus
- Micropig/Spiderpig
- NPR (No Prescription Required)
- Pong/Ping
- Cabbage - an alternative / backup / failover for Babbage?
