CADR-19 is still living in the fast lane. The idle time in the wholine
|
|
changes by 40 hours per 3 seconds. The blinkers are doing their pathetic
|
|
best to keep up. Needless to say, it can't establish any Chaos connections
|
|
in this state -- they time out in a few nanoseconds.
|
|
|
|
It calmed down for a little while yesterday when Krymm came into the room,
|
|
said a few words, and passed his hands over the console. I took advantage of
|
|
the intermission to bring over a working system from CADR-30, but as soon as
|
|
Krymm left the room it started speeding again.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, the clock in the who-line seems to be keeping more or less normal
|
|
time, but (process-sleep 6000.) seems not to sleep at all. I'm a little
|
|
worried about the long-term effects of this lack of sleep on the processor.
|
|
CADR-19 could be reduced to a burned-out shadow of its former self, wandering
|
|
around the network asking other processors for the time, but never able to
|
|
keep its attention on them long enough to find out the answer.
|
|
|
|
P.S. Whoever fixes this, please contact me. I have a friend I'd like you to
|
|
take a look at.
