A rather fascinating article link below. Quote below particularly caught my eye.
The invisible seafaring industry that keeps the internet afloat[^]

Quote:By having the cable landing stations on either side of the ocean beam light down their end of the line and time the reflections back, they were able to locate the faults nearest to them within a few meters.

I Was in a Job Interview
I was in a job interview. The manager handed me his laptop and said, "I want you to try and sell this to me."
I put it under my arm, left the building, and went home. Eventually, he called my mobile and said, "Bring it back here right now!"
I said, "$100 and it's yours.

Death Breath
Greetings Kind Regards
I heard an interesting sauce named "Death Breath" recipe today on NPR id est olive oil, butter (grass fed of course), garlic and anchovies. Sounds tasty. Am looking forward to it. Upon searching web for same I came across a heavy metal band of the same name (of course). A link to a YouTube video of same is below. I don't mind Bach and Chopin being interrupted by heavy metal from time to time. What this has to do with programming I do not know other than the bug I am currently working on is a bit of a monster. Also the Forum seems to tolerate such.

Go Figure
Two things I do not understand.
[0] How the thing works.
[1] More significantly why it is given a rather unpleasant voice. Why not the voice of HAL 9000.

Seeking Way Back Defrag Name Assistance
Greetings Kind Regards
I seek your kind assistance to recall the name of the product or name of the firm / web site or name of proprietor who many years ago prior to the common use of SSDs sold a highly successful Windows tool for purpose as best as I recall hard disk defragmentation. I had purchased a copy for W95. He was and I hope still is a 10x programmer if ever there was one. He wrote Windows GUI code in assembler and offered gratis several other tools some related to networks. The product had a catchy obvious name but I do not recall now and a web search for PC hard disk defragmentation fails. I am curious what he is now up to as he always had various projects in development.
Thank You Kindly
