A quick peek inside the mind of the insane - a VT Engineering Student.

Study Break

   So I get a call that the left channel on the webstream is dead. Being that I was in squires, on the third floor, and that I needed a break, I decided to go fix it. I re-soldered like 3 cables, still nothing. Found out that it was a dead equilizer, so I have the webstream 2 channels of right :-)    However, in the process of fixing the webstream, I managed to take it, and the rest of the station down. I stepped on a crucial power cord, sending the whole engineering rack dark. Since the webserver, stream, and the microwave link to our transmitter are all in that rack, the stream disappeared along with the website, and the station went to dead air until I found what cord I had unplugged and plugged it back in. Then I had to babysit computers. fsck_ffs == devil. FFS is the *worst* filesystem ever.

Now to more project, homework, quiz, and, if I’m lucky, sleep :-D
