My computerweb

I’m starting to lose track of what devices I have and what they’re named, so for myself and anyone who’s interested:

  • yggdrasil: old headless Compaq box procured from Jonah; main entry point in LAN (port 22 forwarded here)
  • midgard: my primary computer; micro-ATX desktop I built in March
  • ratatoskr: Windows 7 VM on midgard; needed a separate name for networking (samba, mostly?) purposes
  • nidhoggr: my Dell Latitude D620 laptop; recently rehabilitated since I’m carrying it around campus next year
  • huginn: cell phone’s Bluetooth device name
  • muninn: iPod touch (8 GB, 1st gen) for music and internet in my pocket

I think that’s about it. All computers are running Ubuntu; midgard and nidhoggr have Vista and XP installs, respectively, in case I need Windows for something.

    Because I was gonna use ratatoskr for my laptop but it was already taken. It's also kinda a subtle dig about how it's "beneath" my desktop.
