40 Winks and First Thing In The Morning

The connective world of networks and servers are dominated by a cycle of access peaks and maintenance time-outs. You know this because your are online everyday, and you would have noticed that at certain hours your host server simply won't cooperate.
Then you are forced to experience this other aspect of globalisation, where the cycle of life and recreation on the other side of the globe or several time zones away are entering into a frenzy of access and you are simply timed-out by a peer computer.
It is blatant and true. And when that happened last night I decided that I had tried long and hard enough with all the patience of a Trappist monk or a zazen practitioner, with equanimous detachment and stoic zeal (ironic, right). That it is finally time for those 40 winks, and first thing in the morning, I would head out and try again.
So I have, and was again logged out, and could not upload some pictures (just that), but time and tide turns out to be on this sunny side of the world now and as America switched off, the rising sun now rose above the oriental hemisphere.
It just tells you that the majority of Internet users are day-time, at work and via the office, and we know from reliable conjecture that it is not just dedicated, securely encrypted business lines.
So, the sheep is out agraze, and the world now turns and I am again abuzz with the banal realisation that I am just a swanky blinking light in a maze of galactical proportions of highspeed connections. Those 40 winks were the best.
