http://blog.kineticweb.com/articles/2008/04/16/our-server-names en-us 40 Musings from a Ruby on Rails development team <p>Every good tech company needs a sensible naming scheme for their servers. Ours has always been &#8220;film directors Colin likes&#8221;. I figured it would be fun to publish our list here. So, in no particular order, these are the server names we&#8217;re currently using:</p> <ul> <li>Richard <strong>Linklater</strong></li> <li>Alfred <strong>Hitchcock</strong></li> <li>Joel and Ethan <strong>Coen</strong></li> <li>Quentin <strong>Tarantino</strong></li> <li>M. Night <strong>Shyamalan</strong></li> <li>Robert <strong>Altman</strong></li> <li>David <strong>Cronenberg</strong></li> <li>Martin <strong>Scorsese</strong></li> <li>Dario <strong>Argento</strong></li> <li>Guy <strong>Ritchie</strong></li> <li>Wes <strong>Anderson</strong></li> <li>Darren <strong>Aronofksy</strong></li> <li>George <strong>Lucas</strong></li> <li>Rob <strong>Reiner</strong></li> <li>Robert <strong>Zemeckis</strong></li> <li>Stanley <strong>Kubrick</strong></li> <li>Steven <strong>Spielberg</strong></li> <li>David <strong>Fincher</strong></li> <li>Hayao <strong>Miyazaki</strong></li> <li>Terry <strong>Gilliam</strong></li> <li>Danny <strong>Boyle</strong></li> <li>John <strong>Hughes</strong></li> </ul> <p>Some others have been retired over the years but we try to recycle names when we can. Any suggestions? Baz Luhrmann, Joel Schumacher, Alan J. Pakula are all on the short list we keep.</p> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 08:59:00 -0400 urn:uuid:9f8cb7eb-ffc9-4aa2-a1f3-2465a43f66ad Colin A.
