Pheromones
January 26th, 2008 L Posted in tech |
I bought a new fan for one of my machines today. My nerd lair is now filled with the delicious armoa that I associate with new computer hardware; that faintly oily, industrial, plasticy scent. Normally, I only get to bathe in this scent every year or so when I’m putting together a new machine, after I’ve unwrapped all the delicious playthings and they’re spread out in front of me on my desk. Happiness.
They must have given this particular fan an extra heavy dousing of nerd pheromone; judging from my current heartrate, the little guy must have received at least the standard dose for a square foot of PCB.

Shit, I wonder if that smell (which I previously described as “oily”) is actually some sort of oily lubricant that they apply to case fans before shipping them?

Nice Lincoln. Glad to see your bringing back the ol’ blog.
I still remember the idea you had for my first web comic - do you?
Keep it up. It’s in my reader.
