If you can guess this, you're invited to gatecrash anytime. If you can guess this and don't live close to me (or did at some time in the past, and didn't use Google), I'd be curious to know how...
]]>Finally, the strange thought of RTFM entered my mind (and I even found the manual of the concentrator), and found that the importer has added a color chart leaflet to it; the cable is referred to as a “Telco50” cable. So here we go:
| Pair | First Wire | Second Wire |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | red | red — white |
| 2 | yellow | yellow — black |
| 3 | green | green — white |
| 4 | blue | blue — white |
| 5 | brown | brown — white |
| 6 | black | black — white |
| 7 | purple | purple — white |
| 8 | orange | orange — white |
| 9 | light green | green — black |
| 10 | blue — black | purple — black |
| 11 | light blue — black | light blue — red |
| 12 | light green — green | light green — blue |
| 13 | light green — black | light green — red |
| 14 | light blue — blue | light blue — green |
| 15 | light yellow — red | light yellow — black |
| 16 | light yellow — green | light yellow — blue |
| 17 | gray | gray — black |
| 18 | gray — green | gray — red |
| 19 | red — black | light red |
| 20 | light red — blue | light red — green |
| 21 | light red — black | light red — red |
| 12 | white | orange — black |
| 13 | white — blue | white — green |
| 24 | white — red | white — black |
| 25 | light blue | light yellow |
(Actually, on the DSL concentrator here this order is listed as “pin” numbers while the 12 ports are assigned in reverse order, starting at 25. The concentrator is a Zyxel VES-1012 and is not in production anymore.)
]]>That is all.
]]>This is to bring to your notice that I am delegated from the United Nations to Central bank of Nigeria to pay 100 Nigerian 419 scam victims $10 Million each, you are listed and approved for this payments as oneof the scammed victims, get back to as soon as possible for the immediate payments of your $10Million compensations funds.
Quite clever — the kind of stupidity that lets you believe this kind of email the first time will also get you a second time with this one...

]]>I should probably add that this is not a rant. I'm running software that's explicitly labelled as experimental. So people should probably view this as a response to whoever (can't find it anymore, wasn't it on Planet?) recently stated that he'd switch to the Hurd since Debian has become boring. Or as a Thank You posting for those making Debian from a “you know it's been the stable version for the last year when it's entered Debian” type of distribution into a “get it on the day of release” distribution.
