How are you? How was your Monday? Hectic? Manic? Mine was extremely busy, but not too stressful. Thankfully, it is over and there are only another four days of the working week left. Nothing can be worse than a Monday, can it? This is a very brief blog entry pondering a few questions for you.

Firstly I am in the process of renaming and reconfiguration my home wireless network. I want to rename all the computers and the network has a whole. My inspiration comes, as always from MightyMouse and his exciting hardware page. What is the point of calling the PCs, “Family”, “Laptop” and “Andrew’s Workstation”. I want something far more original and interesting. Thinking about this last night, I was going to call the individual machines, Harpo, Chico and Groucho and of course, the network itself, Marx. (Yes, I know there were five brothers in total, but this gives me the option to add additional machines in the future!) So, I am asking you to come up with some original related trios with a concurrent theme, to use as a name for my network. Anything will do, music, movies, pop culture. As long as the connections make sense and the idea of naming convention is usable under Windows XP.

Secondly, I am considering taking out an annual magazine subscription. Please recommend an IT or Internet related monthly magazine that I should subscribe to. I occasionally read, PC Format but am willing to consider any suggestions. Take into account I am not a gamer and do work in the IT sector as a profession. So a magazine that bridges the gap between both professional and recreational use (of a computer) would be fantastic.

I look forward to reading all of your comments and taking on board your recommendations. I will e-mail everyone who gets in touch, so please remember to leave a contact address. Until later in the week (Friday, we love you!) take care, have fun, smile and keep on working hard.
