Growing up, my dad named all his computers after native trees and plants where we were living. (e.g. Redwood) I’ve carried on doing that! Currently the main computers in the house are Cottonwood, Prickly Pear, Hackberry, and Honeylocust.


I name my wifi SSID after the last place I lived.


My phone's wifi hotspot is named Telcontar, meaning Strider in Quenya. It seemed somehow appropriate.


My wifi password is the date I first met my wife. It's very helpful having to remember that date.


Texas?

I like that scheme. I find it meaningful to name things in my life after things in my natural environment. Helps me remember that I exist inside it.


Colorado! Agreed. I spend my 9-5 staring at a screen so it’s nice even in a small way to remember other stuff is going on outside :)


I like that.


Yeah very few houses actually have been signed up so far. They're doing it on a street-by-street basis starting in the old town area.


I think the school has the fiber too.
