The obvious follow-up is, of course, permanent spying on said Slynky.

Second entry will be the usual rant about ISPs not functioning, mail servers going offline just as I need them, and users somehow deleting a couple giga files (SEIV included), while experimenting a bit with files and trees.

Third entry will discuss how great symbolic links are. Perfect to confuse the heck out of a whole system, and recursive, broken links are just awesome. There's just nothing as fun as seeing programs fail for no apparent reason... though maintaining behemoth config files is almost as exciting, especially when the tweaked version starts becoming a freak, almost, but not quite, totally unlike the original program.

Come to think about it, I'll drop the whole blog idea and stick to 2006-style messages. Somehow, I have the nagging feeling I'm not blog-writter extraordinaire material.
Hmmmm...where's that virus I had set aside for just such ocassions?

NOT blog-capable? Somehow, I'm seeing quite a waste of polysyllabic verbosity if not committed to some variation of written recording.
