In this way, twitter has a kinship with flickr, in terms of having a wisecracking interface:
I bet this kittie’s name is “Bill”. Back at Maricopa, we had a computer tech in the 1990s named Bill whose method of fixing a computer was to pop open the case and whack the hard drive with a screwdriver (ok, he did it once, I thought it was strange, but I think he fixed it).
Cats in the server Grrrrrrrrrowwwwwwl.

The screwdriver-whack trick worked — or at least it did in the late 1980s. That’s how I used to fix my uppity IBM PC.

I once had a telephone tech support person guide me through a problem with a PC hard drive, in the days when 30 megabytes would cost about $300.
At one point she had me nudge the bottom of some circular plate on the drive motor with the eraser end of a pencil.
It worked.
