h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Very concentrated busy completing this task.
Suddenly an interrupted pulse train starts comming in.
Then directly start up some background processes to help decoding the message.
Must finish this main task first, but what is this kind of message?
The message seems to be repeated over and over again.
What is this for kind of annoying message taking away attention from the main task?
Messages should fall into their protocol slot without first having to search for a key.
The main task is nearly finished why this interruption?
More and more processing time is used by the decoding and decompressing background jobs still unsuccessfull in trying to find the content of the message.
The only pattern seems to be the repetition, there is nearly one second between two identical pulse trains.
Or about a heart beat. The pulse train itself is made of ten pulses with a rounded peak, as if the transmission path was very long. Also a very faint echo follows the pulses.
What if . . . ?
Hey, it stopped, where did it go?
Why is it not here anymore?
What was the main task?

Traveller in Time on his head
"Yes, go on laugh about it, it is terrible enough. I still have not found out what happened, what this 'main task' was or what message it was interfering with the main task.

You know, I have been < <./>ONLINE</.> > for more then a year! I have not shut my eyes for one glimps!

I think I am going to make myself a badge:

['Single Signed On' for one year] er "

What about when h2g2 was down? *starts poking holes in logic*

Traveller in Time on his head
"Trust me, I can see myself online "

Traveller in Time on his head
"I have always wanted to be a magician, being a technician nothing is really for long. (Where is that screwdriver?)"

Wait, so did you find out what it was?

Traveller in Time on his head
"Well, I figured out that the connection between the
Main Database (DNA server) with the NARTHURs (WEB servers) failed.

Hmm, quite obvious actually. For pages and forums most times we got the BBC background and some basic furniture (skin). So the NARTHURs did the best they could."

I think I just missed that... I only came back online a couple of minutes ago.

Traveller in Time on his head
"Busy doing w**k ? "

Shazzam...he's magicalismo.

Traveller in Time pondering

This is more like deprivation of a flow, a flow of information meandering over the site, always active, always interesting.

Just opening some pages of the post, suddenly holes falling in the fabric, within a second all sites frozen.
