Notes to my future self: plumbing and wardriving

1. Shower faucet stops working. Turn off water, remove cartridge, note which direction cartridge comes out of enclosure (because it has 180 degree symmetry but if flipped it swaps hot and cold: EXCITING.)
Soak cartridge in white vinegar. Dissolves out the insoluble crap. Shower is functional again: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

2. Kismet. Install from repos. Edit kismet.conf, add in identification for wireless driver. Wireless driver info SHOULD be in dmesg or /var/logs/dmesg but it isn't. I had to chase it down in the modules (although I bet it's in /proc)
