lorien back up: 50% brownout at Snug Harbor

[lwood]

Hi, we're having about a 50% brownout here at Snug Harbor just now, so we've shut our server down in order to keep it away from the flakey (and insufficient) power. Once I'm done with this post, we'll be shutting the network hardware down as well.

I'll edit when we're back online!

We came back online about three hours later, at 1 AM.

One casualty: the new television.

One serendipitous find: the power cord to the OLD television--hey! faeryl and marquisdanbear, you can power that tv now!

Oh, it's a very new HDTV one--so while the repair would be expensive, at least it's under warranty.

As for cooking, I put on the radio, and to placate the countgeiger-bear, we have found a workaround that lets the video come through in HD.

So it can all be sorted, which is a blessing--eventually!

"As for cooking, I put on the radio"

Somewhere I have one of those tube radios, capable of frying an egg. I ought to dig it out, before there's nothing to listen to (because the UK government is trying to push 'digital' and get rid of the analogue radio systems).

Heh--they've got the HD/digital radio here, too, but they're not trying to turn off analog AM and FM yet like they are with analog television.
