A full record of platform incidents, resolutions, and post-incident learning. All incidents have been reviewed. Some have been reviewed by Kevin, who provided no feedback.
At approximately 08:14, node-04 (Brenda) accessed the ticket cabin through a door Gary had left ajar and consumed approximately 40% of the printed session confirmations for the month of March. Duration: 1h 12m. Resolved by Gary using a distraction pellet deployed at the east feeding station. Remaining confirmations have been secured in a latched folder. The door now has a sign that says "CLOSE THE DOOR (BRENDA)." This sign is not visible to Brenda, who cannot read.
At 07:55, the gate scanner (Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB) began an unrecoverable boot loop following a firmware update Gary did not authorise, did not understand, and cannot account for. Duration: 4h. Resolved by unplugging the unit, waiting, and plugging it back in. Gary has been advised not to click prompts he does not understand. Gary has acknowledged this advice. Gary has not committed to following it.
During a 09:00 Enterprise session, node-09 (Kevin) established direct eye contact with the lead customer delegate and did not break it for 11 minutes and 40 seconds. The customer was, per the incident report, "unsettled." A post-incident review was conducted. It concluded that Kevin was not in distress, not exhibiting territorial behaviour, and was, in the assessment of Gary, "just being Kevin." No remediation was possible. No remediation was attempted.
On 4 November 2025, node-01 (Gerald) made contact with the north-east fence post, displacing it from its mounting. The post was replaced within 48 hours. On 1 March 2026, Gerald displaced the same post for a second time. Current status: post is a plank. Gary is aware of both occurrences and considers Gerald "ambitious." A concrete footing is planned for Q3, subject to Gary getting around to it.
At an unknown time on 22 September 2025, the pellet vending machine at the main gate accepted a Lego brick (2×4, yellow) in place of a coin and dispensed zero pellets. The customer responsible did not come forward. Gary extracted the brick using tweezers and a headtorch. Duration: 35 minutes of Gary's time. The machine was recalibrated. No refund was issued, as no one claimed responsibility. The Lego brick is in Gary's desk drawer. Gary has kept it. He finds it funny.
Be notified when something happens to the fence, the scanner, Gary's email, or the elk. Particularly the elk.
Notifications are sent by Gary, manually, when he remembers. This is not automated. Response times may reflect Gary's availability, which varies. Gary is currently at lunch.
