Welcome, gents,
Let's begin by explaining how this blog got its name. I work the night watch. Being the keeper of Cerberus (in other words, the keeper of the “dog-watch”) and also fancying myself a bit of a Cronos (that's as far as my mythology knowledge goes), I need several fincans of coffee to stay awake and focused, keeping my mind, body, and spirit in top shape.
I prepared a good fincan of Turkish coffee—beloved by many and known for its magical properties (which I won’t disclose). Then I returned to my desk, put the fincan aside, and concentrated on my work while taking critical random sips. Suddenly, my “lucky” hand (with my “unlucky” finger) tipped the Motorola UHF radio I happen to have (I use UHF radios for my work).
Before, during, and after t = 0 of the tipping event, due to all the heavenly bodies aligning so perfectly—including my fincan—the radio fell over it in such a way that I lost all my fresh coffee and nearly ruined my radio, keyboard, and phone. I got so angry that, after this major spill, I decided to spill my frustration about my clumsiness onto the Web. In less than half an hour, this page was registered, hosting was arranged, new coffee was prepared, and it was essentially up and running.
These events took place a few days ago, but I encourage Whois checks for anyone who wants the exact date of the spill for whatever reason. Stalkers are not welcome in this Bay—please don’t.
Anyway, we all need to anchor our horses to a good meadow. That’s all for today. Thanks for reading, cart curt.
Next installment will cover the following topics:
I) The possible usage scenarios for Spill Your Coffee,
II) The best ways to cope with spilled coffee,
III) How to be a steadfast coffee spiller.
