Hic Sunt Dracones

The server room has had a locksmith and now the door can be unlocked from the inside. Not that we’ll ever need it now that I’ve made that mistake.Locked in server room: 02:10-08:37. Released by the arrival of an engineer who heard me bang on the door as he went past (small peep hole in door) and tried to open the door. Upon realising the door was locked “no way” was uttered.

Si wondered about the “hundreds of condoms” in our server room – we have a couple of online shops selling various things, and they are a various thing.

Geek PS: Care of Mr Wheaton, this is the geekiest thing I’ve seen in some time. A battle between NCC-1701 and NCC-1701-D.

Nice one.

Well it is now a little before 8am and I’m still here. Armourguard man’s key didn’t fit one door, and the other is apparently locked from our side.

Did manage to talk to him pretty well via an air con unit in this room, and he even got a bit of packing tape through to me, so I could attach a key to it, which I thought was a good effort of his – pointless given there is a maglock door as well, but valiant.

So after exhausting my three MacIntosh Toffees pilfered from Daz earlier in the day (no fortnight at the bottom of a mine for me) and assorted Internet diversions I got a few hours sleep.

Unfortunately it is rather cold sleeping on the floor, even in a room heated by a bunch of machines, so I think sleep is over for now.

Hopefully some of the engineers will be in soon and let me out. I suspect one is here already, but they didn’t go past my little peephole and are at the far end of the building from me. Should definitly be out by nine.

Will did a good job on the controls tonight, but my request he summon Voltron to get me out went unheeded.

You guys need to learn to answer your cellphones? Or not turn them off at night or something.

I came in here to lock my laptop up, and totally locked myself in. I can tell you, it kinda sucks. I really shouldn’t have drunk that 1.5L bottle of coke, that was a bad move. Been here about 1:30 now, and I’m starting to get bored. If I’d had my phone I could call Miek. He doesn’t have a key, but his mag lock thing will work, so he can get to the door, and the key will fit out the whole in the door. But I left phone on desk, and can’t get it.

Luckily my friend Will was still on ICQ and go.icq.com had the mad hookups. Tried getting him to call you guys, and a couple of my friends who play WOW to get Mieky to come in, but WOW is down, and anyway they didn’t answer their phones either. So I’m currently stuck.

Have called the Armourguard man, and told him to see if he has access through fire escape, but he thinks they are boarded up. (Not good for a fire exit!?)

Erm. What else, oh yeah, Will considered getting a locksmith, but seems like that would suck, they’d need to get though the lock and the maglock and that would just coust too much at 3:30AM. So flag that idea. Man, I’m going to get hassled a LOT for this. Lame. I could totally sleep here, I reckon it might kill [female staff member] if she came in at 9am and found me asleep on the floor though. Mmm server room. 100s and 100s of condoms, modems and computers. Good times. Right, off to see a man about an escape plan.

I just locked myself in the server room. at 2:10AM.

Fuck.

Impressive skills. It ends with “He’s spinning it on his hand! Just reach out and take it!”

Oh so much practice/skill.
