Sad thing is I also put that same quote in slightly different context in that cert thread too - same time.Saw that, trying to figure out what you meant by it...
Nothing serious - just running the Oddball quote out.
If it makes people stop and think for a second - then all the better.
Made me think. Thought I had said something not right earlier (but then that is totally possible).
I got to see if i have the movie at home. I think I do on VHS. Would be worth watching again.
Sorry about that.
Sidenote, you did say something constructive there.

Think she'll catch the reference to Kelly's Heroes?Wasn't Oddball the one that complained about 'all the negative waves, man?'
I forget who was being negative in the film.
You are right, Moriarty was the one with all the negative thoughts and Oddball was the one complaining about it.
And an awesome film it is. I love the showdown between Clint, Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland and a German tank. If I am remembering correctly, the tumbleweed that passes by is the final touch on that scene.
See, and I thought you were just calling her (and then yourself) an oddball, and then referencing Sherlock Holmes lore (you elitist you). I've seen the movie, but it's been a really long time.

Lynn, I assume it would be unhelpful for me to join that discussion and suggest indentured servitude?
Damn, choking to death, would be SOM if I had anything in my mouth. Definitely not, especially with your nickname.

Years ago at an employer in Denver we had three servers: Oddball, Moriarity, and Crapgame. These were the original servers we started with when we were looking at MS SQL Server 6.5 and Borland InterBase. SQL Server on NT and InterBase on SCO Unix. SQL Server won, but based on the difficulty of using InterBase and the ODBC with VB. It was easier to write VB against SQL SErver.
Crapgame, it turns out was appropriately named. Move the mouse on the system while the disk was heavily accessed, froze the system and the only way to fix was the reset button. Turned out the dual processor motherboard in the system was not on the MS HCL. Changed it out with an Intel motherboard and everything worked great.

lol we just moved from servers named 'Laforge' and 'Worf' to more structured names that tell you (supposedly) what they do and where they live.
I guess your server names just depend which TV show/movie you're a fan of.

At the time at that particular employer, your right. Where I work now, the server names pretty much tell you the servers do; SQL Server, application servers, web servers, file servers, etc.

I worked for a pulp and paper company and our production servers were named after indigenous trees (Oak, Poplar, Dogwood, etc....) and our dev servers were Bond villains (DrNo, OddJob, Goldfinger, etc....).
Where I am now it is role based naming, I hate it.

Only memorable ones I have are WAY back in the early nineties at Merrill Lynch one of our Unix admins was a star gazer. We had Betelguese & Rigel that I remember and a bunch of others that I don't.

Our first server, a Sybase server, was named Fred, after the junkman on a 70's sitcom. The name certainly fit the server! And when the CIO found out what it was named, well after that names were related to what was actually running on the server, making things a little boring (SQL01, SQLDEV01, APPSRV01, etc.).
