CCS nomenclature

• If you want to know how to pronounce the names of our Solaris boxen (which are named after stars), you can check star prounciation guides at earthsky.com, at starstuff.com, or at astroleague.org.

  Two of our Solaris boxen are incorrectly named. ophiucus is a misspelling of Ophiuchus, which is actually a constellation, not a star. microscopium is at least correctly spelled, but it's also a constellation. I put up a valiant fight about this, but I was defeated. :-)

• Here's some information about the artists our printers are named after. (More will be added shortly.)
  • Johannes Verspronck is an HP2200 in Pat Hinds' office.
  • Auguste Renoir is an HP LaserJet 8000 in the corridor outside room 129.
    • Here's an overview of Renoir's work from http://www.artchive.com/.
    • Olga's Gallery (at http://www.abcgallery.com/) has a biography and a lot of Renoir's paintings on display
  • M. C. Escher is an HP LaserJet 8000 in room 201 CN (the CCS Unix lab).
