| Jerry, just leave it to the clusters themselves, as they change
their own names, without any help from us!!
For example, I connected to ADG; a control/T tells me I am on FOOT,
as does a sys$node, but NOTES insists I am on STOPIT!!
In the meantime, why not be boring, and call them
something like UCGxxx,
UCG01, UCG02, etc, or
UCGDEV, UCGSUP, UCGTST, etc.

| 187.2 | Cluster alias! | STOPIT::RUSSELL | I'm sorry, I haven't a clue. | Mon Oct 17 1988 16:20 | 7 |
| re .1
Apparently STOPIT has been set up as a cluster alias, so the NOTES
server is now uing that name......

| 187.4 | | BACK::HAYCOX | Jaguar Le Mans winners 1988 | Mon Oct 17 1988 16:34 | 19 |
| For INCH, YARD, FOOT and MILE how about
RULER,
Or trucated IMPERIAL, MEASURE etc.
Or as 1992 approaches METRIC.
For CHEST, COFFIN, CRATE how about,
KITBAG, OLDBAG, trucate CONTAINER
For SUPPORT cluster,
JSTRAP :-)
Ian and Rich.

For the BETA cluster, we could use JOKES:: after the BETA schedules,
and rename the nodes to BUG:: and FIX::
Could we rename the ADG cluster from STOPIT:: to FIXIT:: please.
How about MISFIT:: for the SUPPRT cluster, as there is no logical
link between HEAD and VULCAN.
For the FUTURS cluster, we should use FUTURE, as it takes a few
weeks to get any response.

| Continuing on the measurement theme....
how about LENGTH, or LEAGUE

|
| 187.7 | I name this cluster... | LEG::GURRAN | Spontaneity needs Practice | Mon Oct 17 1988 19:28 | 8 |
|
How about MORGUE for the CHEST,CRATE COFFIN cluster
and LENGTH for the INCH,YARD,MILE,FOOT cluster ?
BTW mild applause for whoever changed the meaning of FOOT and CHEST
from bodily parts to their current alternative meanings
|
| 187.8 | I'll name that node on no notes... | YARD::ONEILL_B | | Tue Oct 18 1988 19:04 | 54 |

ADG Cluster;
I'll go along with the measurement idea, but as 1992 looms how about;
CENTRE::
CENT as in centimetre.. and RE as in two letters which make six chars.
(It is also our core of development... or supposed to be :-) )
Support Cluster;
METEOR::
As Vulcan is an old RAF super-bomber, and Head is the top, how about
a true 1st.... The Meteor WAS the first jet fighter... (Was used by
Commonwealth countries during the Korean Campaign...)
Futures Cluster;
As it consists of "CHEST,CRATE,COFFIN" how about...
BELLA:: ( As in Bella L'Agusi.... :-) Any old Dracula fans left..?)
And NO I don't want the first prize... :-)

| Sorry to be pedantic & rathole-ish, but was the Meteor really the
first jet fighter? Monday nights excellant history-of-avaition BBC2
program, Reach for the Skies, had a long bit all about the
Messerschmidt (sp?) 262, the first jet fighter which came into service
during the latter years of WWII.
Sorry again,
Chris

| Why not just call the ADG cluster ADG? That way every one
knows what we're talking about.

| Instead of SUPPRT - PILLAR (as in supporting the whole structure).
ADG could be NOW (as in current versions)
FUTURS could be NEXT or WILLBE
BETA could be ORFUL (ORder FULfilment of course, what did you
think I meant?)
Ian.

| Keeping in mind the versions of VMS, EASE and applications that
will be running on the machines, how about...
SUPPRT becomes HERE (Current VMS/EASE/applications)
ADG becomes NEAR (Current/next VMS/EASE & nearly completed applications)
FUTURS becomes FAR (Next/next+1 VMS/EASE & far-off applications)

| 187.15 | Democracy? | NECK::THOMPSON | | Tue Oct 25 1988 15:29 | 13 |
| I've compiled a list of valid DECNET node names and set up an
electronic polling booth on NECK::
To cast your votes execute @NECK::SURVEY$DIR::SURVEY.COM
NB - After the last question the program writes an empty file in your
current directory called ALIAS.Survey_taken. This is just an empty
marker file. Delete it if you want to, it's there to remind you that
you've already taken a survey. Of course if you do delete it you can
vote again, but that would be cheating!
Voting will stop on Friday 28th October.
|
| 187.16 | The winners are.... | HAND::THOMPSON | | Fri Oct 28 1988 15:50 | 10 |
| Congratulations to those of you who figured out the correct number
of colons to include in the SURVEY command (ooops). The names
polling most votes are -
CURRNT (33%) for FOOT/INCH/YARD/MILE
FUTURS (41%) for CHEST/COFFIN/CRATE
PASTIT (25%) for VULCAN/HEAD
ORFUL (66%) for URIAH/HEEP

re .16
What a boring set of names!
One can only assume that the wrong people are being allowed to vote.:-)
This note has been paid for the by the
