Fear and Loathing in tech support.

[coyoteden.livejournal.com]

We were halfway through talking some luser through a Windows NT installation when the drugs began to kick in...

"Ok, sir, I'll need you to double click on the... Jesus!!! Did you see those penguins???"

We had two gigs of RAM, seventy-five gigs of disk, five SCSI drives in a high-powered RAID, an industrial-sized pot half-full of coffee, and a whole galaxy of patches, spam, viruses, spyware... Also an OC48, a backup T3, a case of beer (hell, why not!), gigabit switched ethernet, and a two dozen tape DLT library. Not that we needed all that for the helpdesk, but once you get into a serious warez collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

The only thing that really worried me was the ethernet might be down...

There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a helpdesk specialist in the depths of the ethernet racks, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

I love you

And I love your icon.

"Oh my god, there's thousands of them!"

That scene in Mononoke was as trippy as anything in Fear and Loathing.

I just saw it recently, absolutely loved it.. Great animation, great plot, great preaching under the plot ...

Fear and Loathing I love for the chaos, the inevitable insanity that comes with psychedelic subtances..

By the way, if you haven't read the book then I recall my love.

I used to read that book every time I came home still tripping.

Of course I read the book. I think they did an excellent job with the movie, but of course there are still some hilarious passages that just don't translate to the silver screen, like the bit with the 100 PSI tires.

I can't recall that bit... I thought Gilliam did an amzing job of translating the book. Depp was brilliant. Absofuckinglutely brilliant.

My favourite scene in the book : Anybody want some L S D? I got all the makins right here. All I need is a place to cook. (and the ensuing bathroom scene)

Favourite scene in the movie : They're escaping from the Circus Circus, after the great polar bear line, and are accosted by a nearby stallholder. Depp : Nothing, I want nothing!
