It was getting pretty windy during a regular maintenance session, so I sort of had to get the fuck off before I got electrocuted from the approaching storm. There are plenty of guy wires on top, and all that is needed for them to accumulate some pretty strong zapping power is for a medium sized lightning strike to happen within a 1km radius. (won’t make that same mistake again, trust me) Recently, even the guy wires are properly grounded so it’s perfectly safe up there, but it’s still not a good idea to be hopping along a slippery rooftop during a rain shower.

Said the snowman politely… Certain individuals will certainly be pissed. And yes, I found an old picture and decided to post it

Windows – he installs it. ‘Nuff said.
…
Alright, I haven’t said enough, and here goes: It pains me to see people cashing in on something that has been originally constructed as a simple and user-friendly few-step process which takes only a few key presses to configure. It pains me even more that someone is willing to call himself an IT professional while noting “Windows setup” as a primary capability. To all the guys and gals working their asses off to upgrade their customers’ hardware in a budget conscious manner, hunt down missing drivers, carefully load their PCs with software, setup the surrounding network and train the end user accordingly – I salute you. To all the idiots only doing a complete HDD format and installing Windows XP over a preinstalled Windows 7 system because it “runs better” – may Cthulhu have your soul.
If you are reading this, then it is obvious that somebody pissed me off with the above mentioned actions and asked for my help on how to install a dial-up modem. Attached picture is only mildly related.
