The sad life of a computer geek

The blog has been quiet over the last few days as – once more – I have been trying to nurture a webserver back to life. I don’t know where the thing even is exactly – it’s somewhere in Germany in a 1&1 service centre, and I don’t know if it looks remotely like the picture to illustrate this post. All I know is that the damned server running sites for EBD, EUD, JEF, UEF, YES Campaign etc., has proven to be one hell of a pain to administer over the last couple of months. I get next to no cash for the work, it saps my energy, sanity and mental awareness. But like some evil sort of a drug addiction, I cannot avoid the responsibility to keep the thing running so a load of grumpy users can then send me nasty e-mails. Joy.
