Computers - Naming Convention

I think it's time for me to change the naming convention of my machines.

Currently my router is Shodan, my desktop is Xerxes and my laptop is unnamed. The current convention is computers that have appeared in fiction.

The problem is that I can't find a named laptop or portable computer in fiction (especially one with an AI). If I could find one then I wouldn't have a problem.

So I either need a new naming convention or a name for my laptop. All suggestions appreciated. :)

P.S. I suppose I could always call my lappy "Box"(Star Cops).

Airsoft - Thigh Pouch

Unfortunately the Mil-Force Utility Pouch I ordered from Zero One Airsoft doesn't have a leg strap. Fair play it's only there for VisRep (visual representation) but I'd still prefer for it to look right.

To fix this I'm going to butcher a spare shoulder strap that I have lying around and attach a plastic buckle to each end, then I'll attach it to the pouch. The strap will wrap around my leg and keep the pouch in place and prevent it from flopping about in a rather silly fashion.

Once my LAPD SWAT uniform is ready I'll get some pictures taken for all you folks who are interested. Thankfully my ugly mug will be hidden behind a balaclava too. :P

EDIT: Oh yeah, new icon.
