He typed his regular user name rather the administrator's one, since he had no system maintenance tasks to perform today. A few more lines with a geeky welcoming message and the terminal's version scrolled by after his password was confirmed. Another similar cluster with all the tangled cables and in an alike dimly-lighted room, was waiting for a connection on the other side of the world, somewhere on Japan's island territory. They where going to connect the two machines and try for double the processing power, only that he needed to find a fast and clear routing over the net for that purpose.
He thought that since it was Mardi-Gras down in New Orlean's today, most people would be out rummaging the streets, and there was a high chance to get an almost empty ethernet from there to the trans-pacific line. It was easy to locate the to the path to the New Orleans servers from the routing tables stored on his cluster, and the ping to the machine in Japan took just a couple of milliseconds to returns. With a faster connection that he had hoped for, he fired up his secure shell and soon he show the prompt for login from the other side.
An account, set up for him from his peer over on the other side of the ocean let him though, and before he even had time to think, a "Welcome man, where'd you found that wicked line ???" poped up in the intra-messaging system.
