It is often I am confronted with a quandary in the nascent state of things, however they are usually small and easily fixable. this is six years in the making, and now my friends, I am placed in dire straits.
What do I name my hard drives!?!?
Back when I was a one-drive chump, I just gave it a name. Names are given to singular entities all the time, so it was no biggie. Then, a second hard drive came along! I was deep within playing Final Fantasy Tactics, and a chapter title stood out in my mind which is reminiscent of drive classification [master or slave], so I named them after chapter two: Manipulator and Subservient. With three, I’m sure I named them something related to a group of three, I don’t quite remember, however with four, I named them after the three musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D’Artagnan. I thought it was clever.
Then six came along. I thought long and hard, and decided on naming them after the quarks: Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top and Bottom.
But now with seven… oh it’s too easy to be cliche about it. Funny thing, though, as I was typing out this post, I got sidetracked in the middle of doing so, and returned to this. As I resumed, I thought of the names for my seven drives: the Seven Words of Power from Stephen R. Donaldson’s epic novel series: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant I, II and the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. He needs to finish that series already!

‘Seven Wards of ancient Lore
For Land’s protection, wall and door:
And one High Lord to wield the Law
To keep all uncorrupt Earth’s Power core.
Seven Words for ill’s despite –
Banes for evil’s dooming wight:
And one pure Lord to hold the Staff
To bar the Land from Foul’s betraying sight.
Seven hells for failed faith,
For Land’s betrayers, man and wraith:
And one brave Lord to deal the doom
To keep the blacking blight from Beauty’s bloom.’
What are the 7 words, Hashi?
