Tell no-one for at least 3 days. You're going to be like a mini messiah to them for being able to figure this crap out.

I'm starting to envy you. I've just had a client ask me, with a straight face, if it is OK for them to break the law. Not even one of those "break the law and take the fine, we save more that way" breaks, a full on "Let's do this thing and all go to jail" breaks.

No. No it is not. And my rates have just increased.

It sounded like a fun one. I was trying to figure out how you could disentangle the data in the shower earlier, like if the two data sets were dissimilar enough you could use upper and lower boundings or if it was periodic time series and both were out of sync could isolate them that way.

This is the correct answer.  It's really all they understand.

What we did was go though every single field, one at a time, checking where the data was being taken.

Two "gas meters" were actually pressure transducers ("Heat a massive building for $16 a month with this one simple trick!), and the rest were autofills that entered the location of the last location entered.

All the billable stuff is done.  Next are the water treatment plants and the plant proper.  Shouldn't take more than 4 months.   :lulz:

The money is fantastic, but what's really got me feeling excited is that the entire management team and the operators had all endorsed it.

So far no assholes, either.  I keep thinking the other shoe is gonna drop.

And it's not so much utopia as monetizing the end of the world.

Um, so yeah.  Utopia.   :lulz:
