Recent Notes
We had a 23dB EDFA that would burn optical connectors if they had any contamination, including residues from the alcohol cleaner. Eventually the face of the connector would get pitted and power would drop. Usually once a year. One time the fiber engineer “took charge” and tell me I wasn’t cleaning it well enough and so he did it himself. Just to show me how it’s done.
His cleaning job lasted two weeks.

@nprofile1q... I remember checking out a book from the PSU library about ATM and ISDN, because Bell Atlantic was building out their fiber to the neighborhood network. Big, thick tome written by a committee at Bell Labs.
(the book, not the specification)
(well, actually the specification too)
Then someone put that Stargazer tech (DSL) to use to send data instead of VOD and obsoleted all that equipment.

Modem sounds. I heard every one of these up until 56K. By that time I had a cable modem.

Don't put pennies on the train tracks!
Seriously though, it could have been much worse. The train was empty and fell away from the river.

@nprofile1q... they tried this a few years ago as part of Apple One. Pay a perpetual subscription fee and always have the new models.
Since it worked for Hamas, we now have a paraglider gap!

I kinda knew this for decades but not because it was overtly taught to me. I kinda figured it out because I love driving long distances (and drove all over the USA) but started to notice these patter...
@nprofile1q... Except for I-99 in Pennsylvania.
"I-99 breaks the AASHTO numbering pattern associated with Interstate Highways, as it would be expected to lie east of I-97 but instead lies east of I-79 and west of I-81."
