Well, it is my job to inform you that Doug, Marie-Ange, and Amanda have not checked in at their appointed time, and are officially missing. You know, within the letter of the law - because really, who is to say that Doug has not simply lost track of time pretending to be an elf on the internet, and the others are waiting for him to finish with that - but it is, actually, literally my job. So there you are. Informed. I'm going back to the filing, and writing a letter detailing why I should not be put on the Sunday night shift ever again.
By the way: Whoever thinks that 'G' comes before 'C' in the alphabet is in for a cruel awakening someday. I only hope I am there to witness it.

Date: 2008-06-09 03:38 am (UTC)Right, having got that out of the way. WTH? How does anyone get lost in Norway? It's Norway!

Date: 2008-06-09 08:58 am (UTC)I'm going to find one of those "put the countries on the map" flash games, and make you both play it until your grasp of geography extends further than "was in the same room as an atlas, once".
I would like to think that when Remy checks in to let us know what he's achieved for our intel nets, you don't simply file it all under "one of the men with the funny accents talked to some other people ( probably with funny accents) in a place that is a long way away", and in fact, started having some kind of picture of how our networks are located, and how they inter-relate.

Date: 2008-06-09 09:50 am (UTC)As for relative importance of places: here is an interesting fact about "Snorway" - in the late eighties and early nineties, Norway had some of the highest bandwidth availability in Europe. Universities and other establishments had multi-megabit broadband when other places in Europe were still using 2400 baud modems for entire businesses. In internet terms, Norway is still one of the best connected countries on the planet, with a technical infrastructure that is substantially better than most other countries in its economic weight class.
I have provided this fact for you as an important learning exercise. What I would like you to do is go away and find out why the fuck *I* would know or care about that kind of crap, and by extension, why you should too.
