mmhhh I have to initiate a countdown of one for myself

I just made one of my favourite blunders... well I've not done that so often but I am given to understand that there's hardly a sysadmin that hasn't done it at least once to oneself...

I was editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config on a box and made a mistake there which causes all connections to be refused... and to top it off I restarted sshd and logged off without checking that I can login with a different session... bummer.

Well, not too bad since I can just login locally, right?
Guess again; the device is normally headless and as I went down there to confront it with kbd&monitor I realised to my horror that the box only has dual-link DVI connectors onboard!
And I have only single-link cables!
arrgh!

So; countdown till tomorrow until I can fetch an adapter...

That whole thing has never happened to me fortunately

But DVI connector is a pain in the ***. I have meet them too many times. Luckily not that often anymore.

GL with your adapter tomorrow.

Counting down has been such fun
I can't believe we're almost done
And don't be sad to near the end
The countdown starts all over again!


Oh yes! I almost forgot! One day to go!

Seen alllll kinds of zoom attachment lens paraphernalia....popping up everywhere...esp at fleabay.....got a couple of universal models from ebay to try them out...
interesting cheap knock offs....work ok...but..they don't quite do even digital camera quality.

this one here for the sony....looks real good....but....I'm not too sure of the quality that would be garnered compared to a proper camera ...a camera which was actually designed and built to take pictures...not a phone that is attempting to do it all.
at least this early in the devel of such toys...
I'm sure some phones would work better than others...and some attachments would work better too ....hm.
Give it a few years...if the zoom lens is just a shiny fad-toy it'll disappear. If they get realllll good and the interest is there for total camera replacement...then it'll stick around as a must have accessory and the quality will only improve.
