Transformer Names
As I mentioned in my previous post, I have a habit of naming my devices after Transformer characters. I took a screenshot of my home wifi access points and my hard drives on my main Mac to better show what I mean. Whats cool about naming them after Transformers is that it would be hard to run out of names because there are so many. Its very practical to do this and consistent.

Why do you have 5 access points? and using multiple names.

hmmm

objectively, the macbook compares very well for spec and price to other dual core laptops on the market. i need a new laptop but can’t buy this one now simply because i need dial-up and there’s no built-in dial-up modem :(

MoHat Optimus Prime and Megatron are at work.
I have this many access points for good reason.
Omega Supreme and Ramjet are bridged
Thundercracker is 802.11g
FireSky is 802.11b and I use it only while in the bedroom.
IronHide is open network located at my sisters place next door.

Do you live in an area that is like 2000m2 ? and man you are such a geek!

my house if like hitlers bunker. My access point barely gets from my studio to my bedroom and its located in a room 10 meters away.
To give you an idea of how tough my walls are you can’t drill through them. I tried drilling a hole myself and wouldnt work, got nibaq to come over with his hardcore makita drill and it wouldnt work, finally got some pros to come over and they couldnt drill a hole either lol

I like the naming scheme, lol. Nice laptop.
Mark, do you know of anyone selling an ipod? Any of them, lol. I have a friend going on vacation in a week or so but he doesn’t want to buy a new one.
Until next time,

nope dont know of any at the moment

Mark! That is freaking fantastic! The names are just great! I was thinking of naming my landcruiser hound after reading your previous post, and another car SmokeScreen! hehehe! Beacuse those two car fit those characters! Now I want to watch transformers all over again! lol
I wish they would just sell them on dvd and make it easier to buy, just like anime. I know they are selling them but they are not consistent with the series and everyting!
19. Mark | June 20th, 2006 at 9:50 am
Marzouq trust me u do not want to watch transformers. been watching it now for the past 2 weeks and i used to remember it being cooler lol
its still fun to watch just sometimes u go huh? u survived a fall from outerspace but you cant survive a fall from the top of the clff.. its not very consistent.
Nat also hates watching it
20. Marzouq | June 20th, 2006 at 10:30 am
Of course Nat hates watching it! She is a girl! Im guessing she like My Ponies or Care Bears! lol! (Dont ask me how I remember)
But the new ones I used to watch were Transformer Energon which is pretty cool. But they keep coming out with new ones every time the past couple of years! I wish they would spend alittle bit more money and make the animation better and a better story line!
That would be pretty damn cool!
21. Marzouq | June 20th, 2006 at 10:31 am
I think I would just buy the dvds just to have them! “GRIMLOCK MAADDD” hehehehehe!!
