A Major Undertaking: Naming Your Wireless Network
Ode to linksys unsecured wireless networks. (And XKCD comics, of course)
I’ve named my car. (Amelia)
I’ve named my blackberry. (Lanesberry)
Even my alter ego has a name. (Lane Dog)
So why wouldn’t you take the same care with naming your wireless network? This topic was brought up while talking to @ethansen on episode 15 of the podcast that we co-host, Millennious.
Personally, I don’t like default settings on anything. If you have the option to customize, why wouldn’t you?
In doing some tough research on what to name my new network in Houston, I thought to look into some top naming ideas for wireless networks:
Via MacRumors Forums,
- My neighbor is a middle aged single mom. Her network is called “CougarNet”
- At work, I pick up a signal called “Macs are Better”
- The two lawyers in the flat across the way have named their wifi “Sue your ass”.
- NO_MORE_WORLD_OF_WARCRAFT_4_U
- Wonkavision
- “GET_YOUR_OWN_WIRELESS”.
- PasswordProtectedBetterLuckNextTime
- RIAA
My internet has not yet been hooked up in my new apartment in Houston, but lets just say I’ll be in a situation very similar to the xkcd comic above.
