Notes
Personal Checkins
- Losing power stories…?
- uv: when I was 8 I stuck a knife and then my finger into a power socket, took down power for the block
- el: I don’t have any, perfect servers
- dc: missed the intense outages in Toronto, when young they were rationing power at 4 in the morning , 12+ hours a day without power
- bl: remember power back up units, keep beeping, more annoying than the actual power outage. more recent episode in greece, brown outs, more concerned about heat
- yj: on the road, lost power a few weeks ago, ignore ups beeping but was in the middle of a conference call. lots of redundancies – apc batteries, turn off battery but turn on surge function
Announcements
- bl: on vacay next week
- dc: got my dental surgery scheduled, 27th morning, reachable but not working
