Wasn't the Doors song featured in Apocalypse now?

I could use a royalty free version of that song, but I'm probably out of luck there. It would be for a video, even when the little star is still getting some makeup. At least I already have a royalty free version of this[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I read the subject and now have a Doors track on auto repeat in my head! Possibly linked to watching Apocalypse Now...

Actually, I'll do what I can - but I'm off to a funeral in an hour, so if it isn't solved by then, I'll post the solution instead.

What would be the "ping" time in milliseconds? Something on the order of 15×10 9 (half a year)?

The more urgent a feature is, the more useless, hours long, meetings a day you shall have!
|
|
|
|

Ayuh.
"We must have meetings to ensure we don't waste time taking wrong paths and miscommunicating. Etc."
|
|
|
|
|
Exactly!
Plus half an hour status report every hour!
|
|
|
|
|
Also, the feature is really not that important and gets in the way of one that is...
|
|
|
|
|
And it gets cancelled next week.

Some years back, I did a project for a company whose weekly schedule went something like this:
Monday: 8:30-12:00 - Weekly MMM (Monday Morning Meeting) to assign and prioritize tasks to be accomplished this week. Everyone's presence required!
Monday: 1:00PM-3:30 - Sales goals and prioritization for this week. All department heads, technical and support people required to attend.
Tuesday: 8:00AM - Emergency meeting to analyze customer's problem reported Monday. All departments heads, technical and support people must attend to determine who will fix problem.
Tuesday: 1:00PM - "Hot" sales call pre-call meeting to plan sales call meeting. All Dept. heads, technical and support people required.
Wednesday: 7:30AM - Emergency meeting to provide sale call support. All Dept heads.....
Wednesday: 1:00PM - "Quick" meeting to check on week's progress. All Dept.....
Wednesday: 4:00PM - "Who's available for overtime" meeting. All.....
Thursday: 7:15AM - "Why isn't anything getting done" meeting. All....
Thursday: 12:00PM - Team building luncheon. Meal and drinks provided by company. EVERYBODY requi.....
Friday: 7:00AM - "What can we do to improve productivity meeting?" All...
Friday: 1:00PM - Emergency meeting to determine who will be working this weekend to catch up. All......
Friday: 3:00PM - "So-and-so's going away party." Must attend!
I might be exaggerating a touch, but some days I spent as much as 7-8 hours in meetings which had little or no bearing on my assignment. Typical week averaged about 20-25 hours in meetings, usually during prime productive time.
Their idea was that "inclusion" was important and "everybody's ideas" were welcome (but they didn't really want to hear them.)

Wow... That is just like my previous company.

Could be worse. Meetings halt progress but don't bear anti-progress. Doing something exactly the way the customer (in my case, the product management department in the same company) wants only to find that I have to redo the whole backend because they didn't tell me of a "tiny" feature they totally need in advance, that's anti-progress. I'd rather sit in countless useless meetings than either create a patchwork solution I don't understand myself or redo the thing from scratch time upon time.
