Cinap and Brucee's guide ...
Arrive back home to find a fried Auth server. Curse. A standard here,
due to HST, is four (and only four) F*cks, in quick succesion, getting
louder and higher in pitch.
Drag the bastard into the workshop and completely butcher it and a
standby clunker and rebuild it. Curse at the difficulty of finding
bits and pieces and cables. Break out the soldering iron. Soldering
iron (nice old temperature controlled Weller) breaks down (never heard
of)!
Curse. Another good one is seven (and only seven) Sh*ts. Unevenly
timed and at varying pitches - a pause before the seventh which has to
be the highest pitched and loudest.
Call Paul. Arrange a camping trip (it's 10pm). Jerry it up with nick
nacks and do the standard install before he arrives. Restore vital
crap from backup. Go camping while venti and fossil play games. Get
lost. Find ourselves.
Go home to a nice coffee and a working machine.
Actually no technical information at all here. Just waiting on da man.
