I went to a LAN on friday night, gamed all night and came home exhausted yesterday morning. I went to sleep for about twelve hours, woke up at 8:30 in the dark and spontaneously decided to hook up my equipment so I could get back online.

I already had my server hooked up, so I figured I'd check email/myspace/etc - all I'd need to do was hook the keyboard up. I grabbed it and plugged it in to my KVM switch (this may be the critical part?) and rebooted the server, only to find that my F7 key was having a spaz-fit. I had to do a bunch of workarounds until I found an app online that would disable that key.

Eventually I hooked up my main rig, but I had to turn the lights on to set that up. It was then when I realized I had stuffed the PURPLE keyboard connector into the GREEN mouse connector. I blinked and realized, "WAIT, but it still almost completely worked?"

How did this happen?
