Ok, so if anybody reading this is a software developer who sells anything involving any kind of copy protection hardware dongle, go fuck yourself, you and your ilk just wasted several hours of my time and forced me to introduce a completely unnecessary point of failure to a server, hate hate hate. It's going to cost you business in the long run, assholes.

Apart from that, work was even more strangely busy than usual, need to return later to do something to a server, I move from one joy to the next, like a bee passing from flower to flower, all part of the beautiful cycle of life.
