Behind the Scenes of the Project
I’ve decided to launch a new section on the site where I’ll share my thoughts, plans, and events from the project’s life.
When the Internet Suddenly Disappears
The other day, something happened to me that vividly demonstrated how much modern workflow depends on the internet. A truck driver failed to execute a maneuver: instead of making the turn, he spectacularly "made it" into a pole. And not just any pole, but one of those carrying my provider’s cables and giving me access to the global network.
The result—two days offline. Mobile connection remained, of course, but working fully from a smartphone is unrealistic for me. This incident became a real experiment: I suddenly realized how deeply integrated my project is into the internet environment. It manifested in everything I tried to do. Started drawing a new model—five minutes later, I needed the exact dimensions of the aircraft. But no internet. Decided to switch to writing an article—needed to check facts. But no internet. And so it went with practically every task.
And then it hit me: why not use this experience to launch a new section? That’s how the idea for this column in the news was born.
By the way, I want to thank the provider’s specialists. Without waiting for the utility services to "deliver" on restoring the fallen pole, they found another suitable one and quickly installed the wiring at the new location. As a result, by the evening of the next day, I was back online with the world.
