[Mosh in a Lift, 8/22/2012, by Iain Learmonth CC-BY-SA] [URL: gopher://sdf.org:70/0/users/irl/blog/2012-08-22-mosh-in-a-lift.md] Every quater, me and my flatmate pay about _80 to the Aberdeen City Council for maintainence of the lifts in our building. As I write this, I am trapped in one of these lifts. It appears that none of the buttons work except for the alarm button. You'd think this would connect you to an operator somewhere who would dispatch a repair team, but no. This sounds a loud alarm and nothing else. I have used the button many times so far, I'm about 20 minutes in, but I have no idea if anyone heard it or even knew what it was when they did. I certainly had no idea that was the noise that the lift made when someone needed assistance. Why would you build a metal box, which shields almost all radio from working, and not put a telephone in it? I have managed to get a few text messages to my flatmate who hopefully has phoned the council.…
