I've officially published my first blog post! This one's about giving life to my devices by giving them a name, inspired by @robb and Alex Chan

Giving names to my devices

Bringing my devices to life by blessing them with names.

@jcoombs @robb I love creative naming of devices!

I usually name devices after fictional planets/moons/starships and so on. The bigger the device, the bigger the celestial object or ship it gets its name from.

My NAS boxes are UrsaMajor and UrsaMinor, my on-the-go Raspberry Pi is Starfighter and so on.

Naming devices is fun

Giving devices creative names is a lot of fun and one of the best things about purchasing a new device.
