I think someone hardwired the mainframe to the gigabit and overloaded the firewire connection on the google.

It was definitely the stoner gnomes that boogered the site ;) )

That sounds like a BOFH excuse card calendar entry...

I highly doubt Deebs has Gnome installed on a Server.... ;)
I thought I got the ole "secret ban" like L0gic pulled on me back in the day.

Glad the bugs are worked out.
Bro a secret ban ? Not on someone with a smoker who makes Brisket.... LOL

I just read about this guy and it cracked me up.

Most of the oppressed fantasize about being bigger or stronger or faster. Apparently the It Geek superhero, the Bastard Operator From Hell is just an even geekier version of an IT geek:ROFLMAO:. (I know he's not technically a superhero, but he is a fantasy bad-ass IT guy who wreaks sneaky revenge on clueless users)

Yeah, his real name is Simon Travaglia :) I wrote 12 or 13 of them myself. I have them on my FTP Server somewhere.

Have to hand it to him; Idiot users destroy the system, and he fixes it after using a Cattle Prod on their genitalia LOL. A Cattle Prod is a good LART :)

It's a shout out to the late 70s and 80s System Admins; Back then you could basically get away with murder because no one could replace you. The BOFH series was basically short stories of taking that fact to ad nauseum ad infinitum LOL. At one point he has yet another idiot boss that tries pushing him around, so he low jacks his car, changes the programming for his cruise control, and makes it so that whenever the car senses a police radar, it speeds up, making his boss have to take public transport.

Used to have a Tractor Trailer like that. Every time I heard a Bear report on the CB that the LAW was coming up behind me.
I would LOCK it DOWN and Burry the Needle, then I only had to be concerned what laid ahead.
Was paced one Night on Interstate 10 East Bound in Texas for 50 miles @ 113MPH
DAMN Don't I miss that Pete !
Receivers used to ask me all the time if I had Wings.

LOL! I mean, if you think about it, they won't really catch up to you if they aren't close enough for a visual hahaha. I once made it from Montreal to Michigan in like 6 and a half hours. The Speedometer was broke on the car so my ex couldn't bitch about me speeding. Well, not at least until we passed one of those super fast trains.. I was driving, and on.... I can't remember if it's the 401, or the 402 in Ontario, but right next to the freeway, there's a train track, and the passenger train was flying down the track, and I passed the train. Ex was pissed. Like, damn I'm sorry you wanted to make this trip take 3 hours longer... Hahaha.

After that we had a VW Rabbit that was actually from Germany, so no governor on the engine... Had that DSG system too, where you could put it in Drive, and then, move the shifter to the right, and it let you shift gears manually, and MAN was that thing quick.. My cousin has a Truck with a decent sized engine in it, and the day we moved back to my home land, he wanted to see what was up, so after we unpacked a U-Haul, we did a little drag race. I smoked his ass so bad you'd think he was a pound of Cheese haha. We got out of the car and he's like "Dude WTF! I couldn't even catch up!" and he's like "Hey I need to call my buddy, he loves racing, and thinks non American Cars are shitty and slow, and that car would fuck him up!" LOL. I do miss that DSG sometimes; The ability to slap it into manual was awesome.

It had the usual drive, and then "sport" mode, but I never really used sport mode; The manual shifting ability was too good not to use LOL.
