Heights of Smartness

I always knew i was smart but never realized i could reach this extent too!

These days im working mostly on installation.. always into coupling various machines and installing various versions of server.. so basically a screwed up job.

Today was one such day.. I was suppose to install servers on remote machines.. Created  configuration files for two linux machines.. and hit install.. It came down instantaneously with an error.. an error and that too in a linux machine is a sign "honey you have got hell lot of work" and I was suppose to complete this by EOD (as they say).. that shook me a bit.

Gathering my strength, I started working on various options.. I queried my brain for all sorts of explanation on what might have went wrong... tried connecting to those machines as a first step.. Damn! it failed there.. but with my windows machine i could connect! now thats annoying.. tried pinging the machines.. ssh.. telnet.. changed permissions.. stopped firewalls too.. uh uh.. even cursing made no progress.. after all those futile efforts, when i was still in the process of scratching my head for next option, I glanced at my desk..

 The disconnected network cable was lying peacefully on the desk.
