Isn't that a relative question? "a lot of spare time on your hands"? I
have very little and each uS extra I have is a blessing. Time? Really?
Maybe I'll just have the year I die engraved. After all, even the "year" is
subjective (which calendar are you using as a reference?)... Maybe it'll
read, "*my stated birthdate*"... and "left this world before you did." to
those reading it. I don't see this as an infection as much as I do an
incurable disease.
When I'm dead... who cares when it happened. It just happens... to us all.
Wake up each day (if you do) as THIS day may be your last... and live,
learn, teach, love, and care for those who need it... especially your
family! Now, why hasn't my latest OCXO arrived yet?

To sort of make an on/off topic comment, here in NY, we have recently
begun using hypothermic protocol on cardiac arrest patients that have
undergone a reversal. If the heart has stopped and been restarted
either with a defib or by CPR alone and we are on scene in a short
enough span of time, we can start the treatment using chilled saline
IV to lower the patient's body temperature rather dramatically en
route to the hospital. I got to work the first one of these in our
area a few months ago. Absolutely fascinating.
Of course we need to make very careful and accurate note of the time
the treatments begin. :)

This is OT for time-nuts, but it's a really good read.

The Checklist
If something so simple can transform intensive care, what else can it
do?

It begins with what it takes to save a drowning victim, in this case, a
3
year old girl.
He's also written a book:
The Checklist Manifesto

To bring things back to time-nuts, if you were setting up gear or
running a
test, would a checklist help you avoid silly errors?
