Ah, making me remember trying to monkey patch a script over ssh on my Blackberry Storm...

At that time I felt the future of system administration meant taking the manual things I could do over a smartphone and abstracting them into lists of tappable buttons, like "Provision Web Server" and "Set Up New Developer".

The Storm is quite infamous because it launched at the same time as the iPhone 3G.

Curious why you bought it instead of the iPhone.

At the time, it was much better for email if your backend was Exchange.
