Alt-Ctrl-*Thwack*

Pressing 'Alt-Ctrl-Delete' to clear a screensaver is not a good idea.
It is epecially not a good idea when you're using a console server.
Because whilst your pissly little NT box will deal with an Alt-Ctrl-Delete, a console server can, and indeed usually is hooked into more than one thing. So you've got about a 1 in 8 change of it actually being switched to the server you thought it was.

My Linux server, which I have plugged into said console switch _does not_ like it when you do that. As all sane operating systems should, when getting the 'restart now you bastard' interrupt, it rebooted.

This made me unhappy. You are now very lucky that I have not broken your legs, and you may want to think very hard about not being anywhere near the carpark, or my route home this evening.

You need more BEER!

For the first time this year, I shall be visiting the Beer Engine, the fine establishment that is conveniently located on Far Gosford St.

My visit will be taking place between 19:00 and closing time on Friday (and for those who've been there are aware of how loose a concept 'closing time' is).

All who read this are cordially invited to participate in this celebration of the first friday of the year.
I think I have managed to convince a nice chap by the name of Michael who I (and malal and zaitan) knew from college to drop by. Which is nice.

And if he shows up, I think I shall impose a drink or two upon mrbear in lieu of his getting older.

I promise I'll moderate my fantastic-ness, to bearable levels.
