    The hours unavailable:

    Day Time Offline Start Stop
    Monday - Friday 4 hours 1am 5am
    Saturday 6 hours 11pm 5am
    Sunday 8½ hours 11:30pm 8am
    Total 34½ hours/week

    The first one sounds like “scheduled maintenance” gone awry. Like for something that takes 5 minutes to run that you tell your boss will take an hour, who tells his boss it’ll take two hours, boss then says “let’s double that to be safe”.

    I wanna know WHY it is unavailable. Does the system crash if there’s not enough paper in the dot-matrix printer? Are the HTTP responses being filled out manually in real time?
