I was porting AOSP to an Android TV I owned. Then a semi truck stopped at the red light.
My job was to sit until they radioed to see if anything was obvious interrupting the connection. I sat up there with an walkie talkie and the remote site had the other one. We set up the chair and umbrella on the roof. I looked at him and asked if he was taking off early and hitting the beach and he goes “no you’re debugging”. And so after a few weeks of debugging different things inside and moving the dishes around to make sure they were exactly pointed at each other my boss rolls into work with a beach chair and an umbrella. It was very random and they’d automatically reconnect after a few seconds to a few minutes - always. The remote site used some windows 2000 dumb terminals and throughout the day all of them would disconnect at the same time - every day. But then the intermittent bugs started creeping in. Our network admin had ordered them and installed them on the roof tops of both buildings and we could provide access via this link. I don’t remember what the device was called but it was some sort of satellite dish. We had a “remote” office across the street that didn’t have internet access and it was really expensive to have lines installed. I worked for a chain of medical clinics in the early 2000s in Florida.Įverything was going digital.
