I was a bad fluffy

compilerbitchI've been chatting with our college computer officer, Espen Koht. He did indeed cut off my comms. He was right to do so -- I shouldn't have set everything up without talking to him first. The fact that I didn't know I needed to is some small defense, but...
Sorry, Espen.
I really don't envy his task. I spend most of my time trying to avoid being roped into admin, but he has nowhere to hide from the lemming-like tendencies of inexperienced computer users. Whilst I know what I'm doing and had good reasons for everything, someone wathing my TCP traffic would probably conclude that I was a KGB-trained spy-lemming, hell bent on extremely secure (but sneaky) self-destruction, and would be quite right to hit the big red James Bond ejector-seat button and have done with me.
