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.
Current names
- Turing (Bitfolk VM)
- Babbage (Server in the space)
- Lovelace (Workstation for Makerbot)
- Flowers (Media PC)
- Postel (The SGI O2)
- Bell (Door entry/building management)
- Marconi (Spare laptop 1, needs wireless drivers installing) - source
- Hopper (Vending machine)
- Shannon (IRC Terminal)
- Patel (PC for laser cutter)
- Church (Router)
- Difference - Public Terminal
- Dennis - Random spare goodish pc.
See Laboratory 24/Network for details on these machines.
Potential names
