Assigning names to inanimate objects

Following the lead of this interesting thread, I decided to reveal the following information: Namely, what I, as a complete dork, name my various gadgets and technologies. So, in an act of total redundancy, behold the list:

  • Old XP box (i only mention this for the next entry): Euclid
  • Virtual PC system on 12″ PB: Ghost of Euclid
  • 12″ PB: Melange
  • 15 GB 3G iPod: Mua’Dib
  • Airport network: The Spice
  • 250 GB Ex HD: RedBook (of the Westmarch)
  • G4 Cube (Michelle’s machine): Yeats
  • iTunes shared library: Hunter

Yes, I thought carefully about each one. No, I don’t really refer to them by their given names all that often. More often than not, it’s just: “Hey, you, computer!”

Now, let’s see if you can identify the source of each of these names!
