Naming Your Local Area Network

When I had one, I called it Bob (a good name for a planet, too)

It is on the short list. Thanks.

"Ankle Bracelet Monitor" is seriously in the mix also.

Haha. I need to remind the guys to rename those things.

You have #3? I have #14! Nice to meet a fellow operative.....

I have two other networks running -- Neuromancer and Wintermute (my 2.4 and 5Ghz signals, the NSA van is my guest network)

A Gibson fan, I see.

"Here...pull my finger."

"Hide yo kids hide yo wifi"

I'm partial to the Surveillance van titles, always good for a laugh.

In my college apt. building, someone close by had "The Love Shack"...I'm sure that wasn't true...

It used to be Skynet. I changed it to The Matrix once I got a new router. Now, it is something funny, but inappropriate.

At the moment mine is set to "Stop arguing Get a divorce"

Atm it's Gallifrey. Used to be SHODAN.

I had no idea that people have passive aggressive arguments through wifi names. My mind is blown.

You could always use the following...

Это ничего не значит

That should get someone's attention.

I really want to change my network name now. I was thinking of changing it to...

"Free Pr0n"
or
"Ada County Surveillance Prisoner 774389"

I saw one that was named "Bill Wi the Science Fi"

Made me laugh.

I've renamed mine a few times over the years, right now it's "Kurumadani Zenosuke"

Another favourite which can sometimes be spotted in suburbia is "MOM CLICK THIS ONE".

See also:
"Infectious Biologicals Lab 7"
"Nuclear Storage Silo 4832NC-12"
"Platypus Captive Breeding Program" (or any other improbable beastie)


And yes, those surveillance vans do seem to get around.

FRED is always a good one. (Someth)ing Ridiculous Electronic Device

... if that doesn't scream "internet crooks will hijack your computer" I don't know what will.

Ahh ... a black belt in Venusian aikido, I see ..

Something not appropriate for Badger and Blade.

Makes me laugh every time, also makes it uncomfortable when guests want to use it.
