- When you put down a screwdriver it disappears
- When you drop a screw it disappears
- Holding tiny thumb screws between two fingers that are basically too short and fat for the purpose
- Leads that only work when plugged in one way but can be plugged in in two ways
- Cases that don’t fit back together properly
- “Found New Hardware”
- Leads that are too short
- Leads that are too short because you bound them all up neatly with cable ties
- Leads that are too long
- The feeling of satisfaction you get as you ~~finish the job~~ ~~finally find the screwdriver~~ give up on the whole damned thing and have a cigarette instead
Things I love about fixing computers
I'm currently available for hire, to help you plan, architect, and build new systems, and for technical writing
and articles. You can take a look at some projects I've worked on and
some of my writing. If you'd like to talk about your upcoming project,
do get in touch.
