Death and Four Hours to Spare?




After the brief scare when I thought my home network was owned by a South American botnet (turns out I accidentally associated to my neighbor's wireless network, that was the reason for the Spanish in my ngrep dumps) my Tax Return is supposedly getting transmitted to intuit. But the fan is blowing like crazy. Hmm.. Maybe it is locked up.

Force quit and start again. This time I remember to set my scroll buffer
