The Harper Manoeuvre first pioneered by Chris O'Dowd is a staple of IT troubleshooting.

Execution of the method has evolved greatly over the years with famous IT technician Mr A Harper bringing the method to new realms and coining the phrase "The Harper Manoeuvre".

The Harper Manoeuvre can fix all IT issues by simply switching off the offending equipment and then turning it back on.

60% of the time it works all the time.
The server was failing but I executed the Harper Manoeuvre and it's working better than ever!
