Computer-head at Paper-towel O'clock

Captain's blog:  0408...whatever.  I'm in this vessel made mostly of wood, orbiting a star known as "El Sol."  El Sol O Mio! I belt out, occassionally.  Nobody laughs.  It ain't funny.

I walk bleary-eyed from my sleeping quarters to the eating quarters, hoping to determine how long I overslept.

I see that it is "paper-towel o'clock."  This means nothing to me. The clock is "atomic" in that it receives a radio signal from the NIST-F1, a cesium fountain clock at the National Institute of Standards of Technology in Colorado, but it is only as accurate as the paper towel roll will allow.

I walk to the adjacent mess hall--aptly named, for it really is a mess--and I see a furry white creature sprawled on a light flooded (by El Sol) table, that appears to have a laptop computer instead of a head.  I guess paper-towel O'clock means it's time for Computer-head to take a siesta.

Other than that, I have no idea what any of this means or what I am supposed to do with this information.
