First - what does a -1 mean for acktime,disabletime, and cookie mean when I
run hobbitdboard?
A green status cannot be ack'ed and doesn't have a cookie - so "acktime"
and "cookie" are reported as "-1".

"disabletime" is set to -1 when the test is "disabled until OK".
Second - what would cause an alert to go out the hobbitdalert channel but
not have a valid ack code?
When the status goes back to a non-critical state, hobbitd sends a recovery 
message on the "alert" channel, so the alerting module can send a
"recovered" notice (if this has been configured).
