If you grep through the latest Linux kernel (2.6.27) for my real name - you'll actually get a hit! Since all the l33t haX()rz have a patch in the kernel, I'm very pleased - but how the * did that happen?

As it was, I was trying to connect my cell phone to the laptop to get at the images that can be seen below in the other stories - but it just hung. I had this idea that given a USB cable and a Nokia 3310c, I ought to just be able to plug it in and use it as a USB stick. So I googled...

...and google told me I was right. But some inferior phones (and other stuff) doesn't follow the USB standard - and need a special case. It also told me in what file that spećial case was needed.

So, then it was just a matter of duplicating another entry, and test it. As it worked on the first try, I just submitted it on a lark. :)

Here it is, in all of its glory:
