IT Geek Culture

Are there any IT sites with more than a few servers that don’t have at least one named after a Simpsons character? I’m writing up the servers at my current job and the names are a wonderfully typical cross-section of geek culture. Here’s a list of some of the names along with what I believe the reference is to (corrections welcome):

AGENTSMITH - The Matrix
BASIL - Fawlty Towers
BLUESTEEL - Zoolander
BORAT - Ali G/Borat
CORLEONE - The Godfather
CYBERTRON - Transformers
DRGONZO - Hunter S Thompson
MAGGIE - The Simpsons
PEDRO - Napoleon Dynamite
RAOUL - The Addams Family
RATCHET - Transformers rather than the Ratchet & Clank video game
REN - Ren & Stimpy
RIVENDELL - Lord of the Rings
SHELOB - Lord of the Rings
SHOCKWAVE - Transformers rather than The Shockwave Rider
STARSCREAM - Transformers
STIMPY - Ren & Stimpy
VERBAL - The Usual Suspects

Notable omissions:

  • Star Wars
  • Star Trek
  • Buffy/Angel/etc

(I did consider whether there were any confidentiality or security implications of posting this and I couldn’t think of any.)
