PHOTON TORPEDOES

I'm having one of those days when all the words in front of me are swimming around and not making sense.

Look at this:

The behaviour of DSNs has changed - Previously when requesting a DSN the DSN would be generated once the email leaves the system. Within [this release] the DSN is now generated on the inbound instance, once it relays to the inbound email relay, rather than once the [product] has delivered the message to an external MTA.

Any ideas? It might as well be in Turkish, or Esperanto... or Klingon. In fact, if it were talking about photon torpedoes instead of 'DSNs', and power conduits instead of 'email relays', I might be in with a bit more of a chance of getting it.

The behaviour of photon torpedoes has changed - Previously when requesting a photon torpedo, the photon torpedo would be activated once the missile leaves the system. Within [this release] the torpedo is now generated on the inbound command, once it relays to the inbound power conduit, rather than once the [product] has delivered the projectile to an external M-Class target.

I don't much like these days. They make me feel woozy and thick, and stretch my brain like it's made of old elastic. I rub my eyes in front of the screen and try reading it word by word while the rubber bands creak between my ears.

I don't remember this kind of thing happening in Star Trek, actually. I don't think there was an episode when Spock was trying to flip open a tricorder upside-down, or accidentally set his phaser to 'evaporate' and disintegrated Ensign Redshirt. Neither do I remember Sulu looking puzzled as the Enterprise lurched backwards and shook the captain out of his chair.

Ohhhh my.

What am I doing here? I don't know. These are words on this screen, but I don't understand... any of them... Captain.

Actually, the Captain's gone home after a rough day, it seems. It's either that or one of her DNSs has failed to be sent by outbound relay to the MTA.

I might well do the same. It's better than struggling to figure this nonsense out.
