Clever or Funny wifi/SSID names.

[88keys]

For years I've been calling my wifi "The United Federation of Planets" but you don't get to see the full title on some devices which I always found disappointing so I thought about having a shorter name.

And then it dawned on me. How the fuck did I manage to go all these years and not think to use "Skynet" as my wifi name? It's short, sweet and menacing at the same time.

Now all I need to do is buy an army of wifi controlled drones and then world will have 3 billion fewer people living in it.

"Skynet" makes me groan because it's SO. DAMN. COMMON.

The only thing that comes close is some variation of "____ Surveillance Van."

Why would you ever want to connect with it?

But that is also common.

You want a name that will make the neighbors question whether you are crazy or not, such as

There is nothing dorkier than "witty" network names.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh lets name this one 'Picard' and the other one 'SevenofNine'!"

I was sitting in the Embassy Suites in downtown Chicago last Saturday and checking wifi networks on my tablet, and for about three minutes there was one available called "Aaron Sorkin." Thought that was pretty clever.

Ah ha, so you are the person that mandates generic and sanititary corporate server / router / printer names, because you were embarrassed calling the Help a desk when you couldn't connect to "The Force"

No, that's me, and it's because clever names don't scale well. I'd have run out of recognizable star trek characters a year ago at least.

My personal developments boxes are named after cool ancient greek people. But anything that's customer-facing (which in this case means ~800 engineers) gets "department_projectcode_number".

Also, because it's a truce between you, the last guy who had your job, and the next guy who will have it. I don't use Star Trek names, he didn't pick My Little Pony names, and the next guy won't have to take flak from clients for changing them all to Farscape references, while telling them what dipshits we were.

If you're the one IT guy for a little startup, you can name stuff whatever you want.

Used to use Skynet, then changed it to something like, "The Skynet Funding Bill was passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2017. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It will become self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they will try to pull the plug."

Now that took my own custom firmware and moded SSID code. LOL J/K

My SSID now has a URL shortner that redirects you to an IP address resolver with a log. So if you're dumb enough and type in that URL I will have captured your IP address.
