A week without problems … everybody was happy. Happy, that is,
until it started again. The same pattern. 10 hours on … 2-3 hours
off …
And then somebody (I seem to remember he said that the person had
nothing to do with IT) said:
“It's high tide!”
Which was met with blank looks and probably a wavering hand over
the intercom to Security.
“It stops working at high tide”
This, it would seem, is a fairly alien concept to IT support staff, who are

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
