Today I suggested to one of our customers that the network problems they were experiencing were due to a solar flare. They rightly took this in good humour. Couple a hours later and I hear on the radio that we have just been bombarded the past day with vast amounts of radiation from a solar flare aligned perfectly with the earth. On the 1 to 5 scale of solar flare-up savagery, this flamin' electron bomb scored a 5. Airlines that had scheduled over-the-poles flights actually flew at lower altitudes to reduce the risk of instrument failure. A Japanese satellite was reportedly knocked out of commission. Coincidence? You be the judge.

And I really appreciate people like you who take their chance in such an excellent way to give an impression on certain topics. Thanks for having me here.
