[slim] Squeezebox Boom Help

2009-08-12 Thread smc2911

I thought some of you might enjoy this story about how I was saved by
the Boom.

I've been laid low with the flu lately (could even be swine flu). Since
I've been coughing so much, I've been banished to the spare room at
night. The night before last, I got up at around 2am to go to the
bathroom, only to find that the rod had slipped out of the door
mechanism, so the handle on the inside wouldn't open the door. I was
locked in the room. With no voice, I couldn't call out (it's down the
hall, so may not have been heard anyway). I spent about 15 minutes
trying to find a screwdriver or something to take off the door plate,
but with no luck. Also, I had no phone in the room. I was starting to
wonder whether I had any chance of getting out before the morning, when
I realised that since the computers were in the spare room, there was a
way out. I fired up a browser, turned on the Squeezebox Boom in the main
bedroom and started it playing A Little Help From My Friends. Needless
to say, my partner woke up. Initially, she just turned it off, but I
kept turning it back on. Eventually, she came to wake me up and complain
and I was freed.

Thanks for the story.  And I hope you get over your flu soon.

Thanks! The story has certainly generated quite a few chuckles among
friends. I'm basically over the flu now, just waiting for my voice to
come back.

LOL! I have done that, but for a different reason. Come to Me was the
song I used.
