(I’m Jill by the way). I can’t even properlly describe my excitement; excuse me while I scream for a moment: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALkjgo saodfkjdsapfkjpowqdijgpoeqbfnpoeqfunbofeqbjnpoeqnubpoequbioienboiwubepni sa;lbkjbr3;ojLAkdjg;lkjj;laJDVL:JALJALJBOIJQOKBDS:LBSKJ:LKAJ!!!!!!!!! There we go. Okay, so let me explain why this is such a big deal: we were one of the first ships launched with a QEC (9000’s just a magic number), so early, in fact, that our QEC software (sendqec (literally a port of sendmail)) is based on one of the draft QEC specs. I’ll see if I can find a copy of it to send y’all, but basically, it’s from when the IETF’s Quantum Entanglement Communicator (QEC) WG was still playing around with the idea of trying to use email for yet another purpose. (needless to say this was obviously a bad idea, which should be evident given the lack of similar QEC systems.) I don’t mind tranmissions being /formatted/ like emails, but I do mind not being able to communicate for who knows how long (this was because of some weird date mismatch issues. I think this has something to do with endianness or something, I don’t know, the specifics are way over my head. I could be completely wrong. It works now though, which is good). Yeah, that’s all for now I guess. Sorry if this is kinda unreadable. I don’t really ever have a need to write things here so I’m not great at it. Also our spellcheck is broken. It would be great if someone could respond if anyone gets this so I know that it does actually work. Bye! -- Jill flight9000 Communications Engineer
