Take a floppy disk, and walk six blocks to the library. Download
putty[1] to the floppy disk. Run putty from the disk and SSH to your
computer[2], and then /etc/init.d/kdm restart [3], pop the disk and
head out.

[2] You need to know what your computer's IP is. The easiest way is
to go to http://www.dyndns.org/ and sign up for one of the freebie
yourname.dydndns.org accounts. Some of the long time readers may
remember when ursine.ca was ursine.dyndns.org.
