@quixoticjeremy : Honestly though, a field for "Alias" would be excellent as sometimes you can more easily describe a particular PC by task, user, or looks than by the actual hostname.

"The loud thing under Jeremy's desk"

BTW, the hostname is "HPML110G7" for the computer in question...

Is there going to be a field for "Pet Name"?

UbuntuServer -> SamHatesMeBecauseImUbuntu
WindowsServer -> SamLooksDownOnMe
CiscoRouter -> SamThinksImNoBetterThanAnOverPricedHooker
CentOSServer -> SamUnderstandsMe

This would actually be worthy of coding "pet names" for. hah

You could autofill them.

manxam

Every computer gets a totally random "pet name"? I'd donate to the cause. The more hilarious the names, the more I'll donate

@manxam There is an assettag field already, and at one point I could have swore I did do a "alias" field as well but perhaps that was lost when I released the "new" dash. I'll look into getting that back on this latest dash.

This could actually be a really fun concept. Randomly generated hilarious pet names that don't really mean anything more than a fun pet name? I could go for that. Perhaps once more of the main functionality is in place we'll put this in place. I'll have to talk to project management about it.

manxam

I can see that going really well in a production meeting..

I suggest the "My Little Pony" generator

THOUGH.. the "Tough guy" generator did come up with "Savage KnobSlam" so... umm..

A pet name generator function could be pretty hilarious.

If I actually get project management to approve this my life will be complete

scottalanmiller

Your System's Pet Name is: "Petty Officer Mildred Ratcliff-Pusscat"

scottalanmiller

Or: "Usppema Stormhopper"

scottalanmiller

Or: "Rosemary Paradise"

scottalanmiller

Or: "Paradise Bubbles"

I could do this all night.

You still can't beat "Savage KnobSlam". It can be both a computer name and your porn name
