OK, so I have made these burgers a couple of times in the past, and really I just want to post about them because I need a place where I can go back to the recipe if I need to.
The original recipe came from Chris Yates, a guy who did a pseudo web-comic a couple of years ago but has stopped now. His comic is still online for perusing, so I reference it here:

OK… so here at work I have been working on getting some SNMP monitoring up and running… and today I ran into the roadblock of our Netgear switches that we have deployed.
We have a number of GS748T’s, GS752TXS’s, and a couple of older switches in the mix. All of these switches all SNMP monitoring if you enable it. However, in order to take full advantage of the power of SNMP you really need a MIB file that tells you where everything is. So does Netgear have these MIB files published on their website?
No.
Bastards.
Why the hell wouldn’t they have something like that published on their website for users of their equipment to work with? No. In order to get the MIB files you had better hope that you have held onto the CD that came with the switch, because that is the only place they are located.
Sun I has been launched and is currently on an escape orbit out of Kerbin space. It is an observation satellite that will come within 1 million kilometers of the Sun. Hopefully it will not burn up!
The flight to the space station was successful! The space station has a new addition to it, adding power and communications portals as well as some new docking points. In addition, some science was gained from the mission and that science was returned to Kerbin.
OK, for whatever reason rich-boy Bill Kerman really really wanted to try out one of his rocket ideas. The rest of us thought him to be a bit nuts, but since he pays a lot of the bills, we eventually capitulated and allowed him to build his dream rocket.
It is probably a good thing that we are also allowing him to be the first one to test-fly it, because quite frankly the rest of us are scared to death of this thing and what it is going to do. Hopefully it won’t spin so fast he is smooshed up inside into a green goo… Hrm… perhaps that is where the Green Gootm comes from?
Amazingly, it actually launched and went up! It spun like crazy, and we are quite amazed that Bill was able to get any reports back to us at all from inside there, but he was. He reached a maximum height of 158km before he reached his apex and started coming back down from this flight, spinning the entire time! Frankly, it made us dizzy. Poor Rufus Kerman in flight control got sick all over the console in back… we are making him clean it up before we go near it again…
Unfortunately, it turns out that not only did Bill forget to install a stage separator between his capsule and the rest of the rocket, he also forgot to put in a parachute! He tried to put it down in the ocean, and succeeded in that endeavor because ballistics wouldn’t allow it any other way, but he… didn’t make it.
Services will be held next Tuesday.
Well, after the save file disaster, I have re-done the second half of Mynmus IV. And managed to get more science as a result! Total of 899 this time around!
I did it by taking the capsule to more than one biome on Minmus, which turned out to be worth an addition 300 or so science!
OK, so I have been playing quite a bit, and was doing a mission to the Mun. Unfortunately I came down very very hard and killed the entire mission.
I then tried to recover the mission from the last auto-save, but did not quite understand the difference between quick saves and auto saves, and how they work. Which means that I lost that current position and came back up in orbit above Minmus… I had launched a communications satellite around Kerbil between then and also made the trip to the Mun, all of which is now gone (along with the science gains made from landing on Minmus, the landing there, etc.)
So I am going to have to go back and do all of that again. I actually won’t bother putting a communications satellite into orbit this time around, because there is really no point. The mod that makes doing that worthwhile is called RemoteTech2, and at the moment it is not compatible with 0.23.5. Once it is compatible again, I’ll start working with it and setting up an actual communications network.
So, for those that might actually be reading this, I learned the following:
What I am going to do on my system is setup file versioning (Windows 8 feature) that will copy these files once an hour (the default) and save them. Then I will have a set of files that I can go back to and recover from if I screw something like this up again.
Have successfully landed on Minmus! Collected data samples, experimental data, and all the other stuff! The landing went without a hitch, and I have plenty of fuel left over to take me home again! The flight home was uneventful.

Science points earned: 628.5
We appear to have our launch module problems solved. A single cross connect was missing, causing massive imbalance and the crash of Mynmus III. Mynmus IV is much better, and achieved orbit as expected, the way Mynmus I was able to without problems. I think we may have the launch module problems worked out now.
Now on to attaining orbit around Minmus itself in order to deposit a lander there. Hopefully we won’t have any more issues like this!
Holy cow! Talk about abject failure! It turns out the staging was right, but the fuel cross connects were a bit broken. Tried to fix that, but then we had some major stability control issues on launch, causing catastrophic failure! Poor Jebediah Kerman barely escaped with his life this time around!
Still not sure what happened, and we will have to do a long investigation on why we lost stability…
