Do farcical projects count? Had a team lead missinterpret the following
scentence: "See if XXX needs any help with hte project ..."

He thought there was a new HTE project. We kept that illusion going for
a good 3 weeks, even inventing a cute blond PM who would email him from
a spoofed account. The culmination was a "date" in the cafeteria. Of
course she never showed, but we all had a good laugh about it.

Actually it is best not to have names that reflect the purpose of the
server, even though it would make our lives easier. We are currently in
the process of renaming all our Window servers (200+) to new names that
do not reflect their purpose. The naming convention is based on
something called the "Snow White Domain". (Can't find any reference to
it on the net)

We have a utility that we use that generates the next available name
from a dictionary of items. We just finished going through Auto names
and Weather.

The reason behind this all is that if someone hacks into your
network/system and the names of your servers help to determine what they
are, then they will quickly move to the ones that will either do the
most damage or benefit them the most. By knowing what type of server
they are dealing with, then they will also know what vulnerabilities
exist to get into the server. By using names that don't mean much, then
it would help to slow them down a great deal as they don't know what
they are dealing with.

I know of three other companies that have or are going though this same
process. This is mostly due to all the terrorism scares and stuff over
the last year and a bit.

I know that at our Call Centre, it has made it a lot harder to know what
is down when someone yells out that the server Birch or Elm is down. Now
we have to consult a spreadsheet to look it up. Was easier when someone
said that SYNDC02 was down and we knew that Domain Controller # 2 was
down.

I think everyone has a server named Bert and Ernie in their
environment...

Brent...

Over here all the servers are cryptic letters and numbers. I have a couple of sticky notes on my monitor to keep them all straight.

As for LOTR names, let's see, I'm betting Gandalf was the Production server(being so powerful and wise) - maybe Frodo (or Samwise) for the test server(since carrying the ring was a test of will/character/strength). I'm thinking Aragorn for the Training server(his infinite patience and his working towards being King). Finally Gollum for the Dev server, since it's usually a mishmash of code, with bits of this and that all over. And I'd call the users Pippen, 'cause they are always causing trouble getting into stuff they are supposed to... :-)

I looked at some old Remedy Beta shirts and found one with a Coyote on it
(ARS 4.0) and another with a Hummingbird on it (ARS 3.0?). I remember the
Futurama > NOT Futurama (copyright restrictions) among the most memorable.
Must have been a Fall/Winter release since both shirts are long sleeved and
one is a sweatshirt!

The problem with any names that look alike, or are unpronouncable is
that they end up being hard to tell apart. One site I know of had two
servers called something like AD11PQ1 and AD11PQ2.

People kept on getting them mixed up. If one server went down, then
there was always a flurry of activity throughout the building as
everyone, regardless of what server they were on saved files; there was
about a 40% chance that the administrator would powercycle the wrong box
first.

Give the servers silly names, and the order "Powercycle Dopey and look
to see if Sneezy is OK too" is much easier; pronouncable names don't get
so easily mixed up.

Just don't call a box anything like "unbreakable", "MI5" or "Mossad"; if
you do then every teenage twerp in the universe will instantly try to
break in just to see what's there...

That is easy to understand - you listed the Dell Yard Development Server.
It was a pleasure to meet you at RUG.

Go Air Force and the AFA!

I don't know about the rest of you, but it drives me INSANE when people pick
server names that do not accurately reflect the purpose of the server.

One place that I worked at named all of their servers after characters from
Lord of the Rings (And this was WELL BEFORE the movies came out). I could
never remember what anything did.

Well on the subject of server names instead of project names, the first
Remedy server I ever ran was "Cardasia". I imagined how happy Starfleet
Command must be every time I asked a sysadmin to "bounce Cardasia."

At one point, our company had acquired an office in France that was on a
real Star Wars kick- I was able to enjoy working with Yoda, Luke, HanSolo,
and Chewbacca on a daily basis. Fortunately, I didn't have any dealings with
Jabba ;)

Also on the subject of project names:
In a previous life I remember reminiscing to a fellow developer how back
in college, when referring to any sufficiently complicated electronic
circuit, we would simply "black box" the process in overall explanation
and label it "PFM Interface"... Where PFM= Pure (Use your imagination)
Magic.

Imagine my surprise when years later I show up at a client site where
this individual had done development to find PFM**** forms... By the
same developer! To this day, the workflow stands in production, and the
developer SWEARS it stood for Performance Form Measurement...

Regards,
Herb

This posting was submitted via the Web interface

One Remedy server I worked with was called Olivia because, we were told, the
original (Japanese) developer like Olivia Newton John!

Whenever I hear of a new Phoenix project (and there must be one in just
about every major Company) I laugh at the lack of project naming imagination
(sorry if you named such a project and you thought you were being original)

I tried to get my main Remedy system called by the project name but gave up
when everyone kept just calling it Remedy.

I can sympathize with everyone calling it 'Remedy'- we now have the 'Remedy Server' and everyone is even refering to each and every schema as simply 'Remedy'!

Shudder... That conjures up some nasty flashbacks.

I used to work at a place where the production server's name was
"remedy". The users called the application "remedy". They also called
the client "remedy". So they would call me up and say, "Tee-yum,
Remedy is down!"

They still do that here only we have the unique names of HelpDesk and HelpTest for production and dev.......and they and the applications and clients are all lumped into "remedy". I have to guess by what they can't do what is really down.....Kevin

We didn't have a Bert and Ernie, but I used to know one called
'Frankenstein'- this was actually a pretty accurate description of both the
server and its purpose ;)

Actually it is best not to have names that reflect the purpose of the
server, even though it would make our lives easier. We are currently in
the process of renaming all our Window servers (200+) to new names that
do not reflect their purpose. The naming convention is based on
something called the "Snow White Domain". (Can't find any reference to
it on the net)

We have a utility that we use that generates the next available name
from a dictionary of items. We just finished going through Auto names
and Weather.

The reason behind this all is that if someone hacks into your
network/system and the names of your servers help to determine what they
are, then they will quickly move to the ones that will either do the
most damage or benefit them the most. By knowing what type of server
they are dealing with, then they will also know what vulnerabilities
exist to get into the server. By using names that don't mean much, then
it would help to slow them down a great deal as they don't know what
they are dealing with.

I know of three other companies that have or are going though this same
process. This is mostly due to all the terrorism scares and stuff over
the last year and a bit.

I know that at our Call Centre, it has made it a lot harder to know what
is down when someone yells out that the server Birch or Elm is down. Now
we have to consult a spreadsheet to look it up. Was easier when someone
said that SYNDC02 was down and we knew that Domain Controller # 2 was
down.

I think everyone has a server named Bert and Ernie in their
environment...

Brent...

I don't know about the rest of you, but it drives me INSANE when people
pick server names that do not accurately reflect the purpose of the
server.

One place that I worked at named all of their servers after characters
from Lord of the Rings (And this was WELL BEFORE the movies came out). I
could never remember what anything did.

Thanks,
Claire

I remember a project from my contractor days we nicknamed Hope. It
stood for Hopeless Operation to Prevent Employment.
