[plug] OT - Machine naming schemes

[Chris Watt]

I have two naming schemes.  My *nix based machines are named after
anime/comic characters and my pc's are named after mythical beings (in
this case, Pandora.  Open her and bad things happen).

in the case of transformers, I don't remember any names.
