lj: Not killing me, interesting me. I like puzzles. It's something that is measurable, and according to the other clues given in Clodfobble's initial explanation, something that can be known. Maybe with the information available here, maybe not. I'm just paying attention. The most interesting parts of my professional life are like this in many respects. There is a set of circumstances, some history, and some goal. Figure it out. Why is the exchange server crashing? Why can't I see the contents of the Q: drive? Please grant D read only access to xyz directory. Here's what I want. Here's what I've got. Close the gap. It's a stimulating mental exercise, that's all. It has not come close to the "it's killing me mystery" stage. Yet. Those exist for me, but they're uncommon. The most frequently asked and most frequently unanswered question is "Why (fill in unrepeatable computer behavior here)?" Why ask why? Because. I don't know. Do you care, now that it's up and running? These are all answers I've used to salve the itch of not knowing when I *can't* know.
