*Bang my head on the cubicle partition*
It was one of those days. The night before I went off to the Open Source Conference, I finished getting the FC2 torrent from The Linux Mirror Project, and had it burned along with a Linux router live CD and a Gentoo universal live CD (v2004.2, I think).
My plan was to set up a real Linux box at the workplace, as I had to resort a Damn Small Linux CD. Well, I did get it to install, but I missed KDE and Gnome. =D
So there: by the I went back to the office and filed a back-to-office log, I promptly went on installing FC2 on the desktop. Wait a moment:
WTF!? ...
Turns out the torrent I downloaded was x86_64! Gawd! Back to the torrents. (On a side note, I can't seem to get through the firewall for the BitTorrent client here at the office... will have to search the docs for that one.)
Anyway: so FC2 was no go. In came the Gentoo live CD. Created a copy for Portage, there. Hey, what's that: no space left on the partition? Geez. This just isn't my day.
It was a Friday, and I've wasted half a day; haven't even checked the logs on the servers yet; and then there's the problem with the Squid authentication admin interface (

Your system does not support long mode, use a 32-bit mode instead.

nedit_auth.cgi spews out a blank Error page); plus the Boss needs the access logs for the week. Oh, well...
