My flight at gate 404 is delayed because... the plane isn't there.

I am not making this up.

@mattdm similarly, i was on vacation recently with a family friend who was involved in the creation of the three digit number system for request and responses! i knew he was involved in the early internet, but was so amazing to find out this particular tidbit of information....
@mattdm what's even funnier is that before dinner where i found this out in conversation, i was futzing around improving my frontend skills and admiring the 404 page that came with the particular cli command to initiate the project start point......just so fucking cool. i'm happy with my life, but sometimes i wonder what it would have been like to have grown up with the advent of personal computing and networking.....
