small world

So I'm getting a taxi home from another drunken night on the town.

And the taxi driver recognises me.

Knows what I drive, knows where I live (approximately) etc.

Hee.

Giggle giggle.

I blew up an ISDN modem today.

A pop followed by the emission of magic smoke signalled its demise.

I'm looking at the uncased bits now; it looks like it was just a capacitor, 100μF/16V which would suggest (a) that I hooked up a power supply of the wrong polarity and (b) the losers who made this kit didn't see fit to protect against this sort of idiocy. Bah.
