Ranma ½

Just picked up a budget server- ranma.mu.nu - for Minx testing and off-site backups. Half the price of Akane or Nabiki, half the CPU (it's an Athlon XP 3000+ vs. an Opteron 270), half the memory (1GB vs 2GB), 75% of the bandwidth, and 100% of the disk.

Yeah, budget server with a 500GB drive. Yay!

Now no-one go blowing up Texas, because that's where all the munu servers is at.

Kasumi and Ukyo will be joining the team in January or early February, and I'm looking at another budget server to be called Ryoga.*

I think I'm going to have to branch out to Maison Ikkoku and Urusei Yatsura before the end of '07.

* While all the other servers are in Texas, either Dallas or Fort Worth, Ryoga would be in Chicago.

1 If you're looking for a naming theme, just name all of them after characters played by Hayashibara Megumi. You'll be a $hundred million corporation before you run out. (And then you can switch over to roles by Kotono Mitsuishi and Yui Horie.)

2 Well, there's already an Ai... sort of.  And my home PC is Lina.  And my old iMac is called Lime, though I haven't booted it for years.

And I thought I was weird, for naming my partitions after planets in the Manticoran Alliance (Weber's Honor Harrington stories).  Grayson, the old 40G is still plugging away, while the slightly newer Manticore, at 80G (ok, slightly less ancient) is getting a little senile.  When I added the 400G, I split it three ways.  And I can't recall what I named them, offhand. 

The computers themselves? Rogue, Stratos-4, Soupbone... no, no naming strategy there.
