a tracker like that put round animals necks to track em in the wild
could be attached to you so you can be tracked. It will know whether you
are in the receiving/despatch room or updating the Everything Linux web
siet or in the dunny :-) Naturally this is integrated with closed
circuit television system (Axis cameras with embedded Linux) which
monitors you as well.

"Schedule meeting 10am with Sidney in Burke" :-)
The system has now corrected your spelling mistake of Sidney to Sydney
and you are now scheduled to meet Burke in Sydney.
Grant, you have too much free time on your hands and you are thinking
too much. Get back to work :-)
Anthony, give grant Grant more work to do :-)
