Networks are evil...

Evil, I tell you! Evil evil evil!!!

Can anyone remember the exact wording of that quote about networking, something about "when a computer you don't even know about keeps you from getting work done"?

For flip's sake, I even know which computer it is. I find myself shouting at the dev kit: "Dude! It's in IRVINE! I could DRIVE there faster than this!" I know, in my heart of hearts, that I am officially Too Tired To Work when I start addressing inanimate hardware as "Dude".

When I read the 'It's in IRVINE' bit, my mind - currently addled by the whole moving thing - could think of nothing other than ERWIN, the AI in the User Friendly comic strip. If it was in ERWIN then you really had a problem, I thought.

Clearly my mind is going.
