I think there should be a superhero named Control-Ess. With a theme song: “Heeeere he comes to ‘save’ the day!”

Well, I won’t say how many UPS’s at work quit working at the same time and what kind of havoc that caused today…sigh. Trying to find replacement UPS batteries in Whitehorse is…well, challenging.

There seemed to be quite a brownout before today’s outage. My fridge was making horrible sinusoidal moaning noises in the moments before the juice cut out completely; sounded like an old cassette Walkman with a dying battery.

I was just putting the final touches on a proposal and the horrible sinking power sound enveloped me like an ominous dark cloud. Awesome.

Sigh. Today’s 40-minute city-wide blackout has come and gone. Now to reset the clocks…

There was a power spike here as I was finishing up writing the code. That’s pretty unnerving when everything you do is dependent upon electricity.

Well, how cool! You forgot to add the power outtage on Burma Road this morning :)

I’d love to see the mashup become real too.
