How many
people sit on IRC while your at the colo? It's not hard to tell

the docs (both those in wiki and on the machines.) Unfortunately,
this is part of the soup that's on the floor. It wasn't recorded
when it was plugged in, so now, someone will have to physically
trace the cables. (Have I mentioned how much I hate doing that?)
There's no escaping it, it would appear.
Oh, it isn't as awful as all of that: most of it is done:
