I feel that I should let my readers know that I am indeed the master of steel and mud. I just successfully 'downlinked' to one of our tools 15,000+ feet underground. What is this 'downlink' business? I'll fill you in, so you too can drop nifty/nerdy terms.
Downlinking is the process of changing the flowrate in a controlled,sequential manner such that the tool is capable of recognizing the change and altering its downhole behavior. In short, I varied the flowrate of the mud pumps to tell the tool to do something totally different. No electrical wires or wireless connections; just myself, mud pumps, and drilling mud. Awesome.
