One morning in the future

I had video call this morning with someone who was in India. The call went great, except for a few moments when the video stalled.

“Sorry about that”, said the person I was talking to. “It’s the monkeys. They like messing with the cable.”

At first I thought this was some reference to chaos engineering and the chaos monkey, but nope. Turns out this was real monkeys.

There’s something charming about an intercontinental internet-enabled meeting being slightly disrupted by some fellow primates being unruly.
