Once more unto the breech

Annoy-a-tron: ACTIVATED.

Big J put on a brave face, but I can tell this is going to be a rough day for him. It's easy to get comfortable in the new office he's set up for himself, but that noise is back. What could it be? He's going to retrace his steps, think about everything he moved around. Maybe moving the UPS set it off again? Maybe it wasn't the UPS? What seemed so simple and sure, the obvious answer to the problem, has now become murky and unclear again. This is the apotheosis of programmer's madness: the Heisenbug.

So today we'll let our little device run its course. I'll keep posting as often as I can sneak by and chart the progress of my plan, without arousing suspicion.
