4/9     Hey you EE's out there -- is there a good ee-jargon nickname for a
        wiring mess/puzzle?  I need a new hostname for one of my machines...
        \_ Like that square matrix of infinite resistors? (and the cube one)
          \_ too vague
           Prolly called circuit diagram puzzle.
        \_ breadboard
        \_ fubar?

          \_ too vague  -- I want something like 'gordian-knot' but implying
             wiring.
             \_ rats-nest.mydomain
               \_ thought of that too, but not wiring specific.  nice try.
                   \_ rats-nest-of-wires.mydomain
                      \_ anything shorter?
                \_ Spaghetti-Logic, although "Intel" comes to mind as well -ax
                  \_ "spaghetti-wiring"  could work. So would 'gordian-wiring'
        \_ Not EE-jargon, but Dwinelle is definitely a mess
        \_ No.  There's not.
        \_ Call it "MS Network ready".
