− | + | Changing a server name is a complex process as the name will be placed in several machines. So [[Cueball]] wants to make sure that he chooses a great name, that he can give to the server he is running. | |
− | + | When [[Megan]] quips on how quickly Cueball named their daughter Caroline (a living being, that is, the type of entity that would give the server purpose), Cueball reminds Megan that he had to choose a name quickly on account of Megan's wishes to call her Epidural. Cueball references an "{{w|epidural}}" which is a process used during childbirth/labor that blocks both pain and sensation (by continuously injecting drugs directly into the spinal canal). Megan tries to justify this by explaining that it was very good drugs, but thus also confirms Cueball in that she was drugges and not in her right mind - wishing to name her daughter after the drug she was on. | |

− | + | In the title text Cueball mentions that he thinks that it is easier to change a person's name than to change the hostname of a server because of the number of changes that would need to be made to each of the machines that would have saved the old name of the server.

Those two name change processes make finding and changing dozens of hostfiles look like a piece of cake! | |
