When Stuff Just Works

Well its been a long morning and somewhat of an excercise in frustration. After installing a nice shiny new server, the gritty stuff had to be done. I won't bore you with the details, suffice to say that 6 hours later I had completed the job and all concerned were happy:-). There is nothing better than happy punters. Here's a photo of the sexy new IBM X-Series 236 Server for those of you who are interested. Although the photo doesn't do her justice, she's quite deep (and very heavy) for a desktop computer. Yeah i know it might seem boring to most of you, but hey, welcome to my world.

The world where stuff is always broken and in need of a fixer-upperer dude. Enter moi, who tries to achieve this to the best of his abilities. Not always succesful, although normally capable, given the right tools (and sometimes a helping hand from the techno-gods in the city).

Which brings me to another point. The tech support dudes at the other end of the phone are normally very helpful and good spirited individuals. Not deserving of their stereotypical labels. Power to the uber geeks I say. Without them, we'd all be lost. So, another working day is nearly over and yet again; mission accomplished. The citizens of Gotham can sleep tonight, with the hearty murmers of the xeon based server: The gentle flicker of soft green leds emanating from beneath her attractive grille. And if you look closely, she seems to flicker in unison with your heart... Awwwww isn't it pretty? It's nice when stuff just works....
