First brief power flutter. They must be working on it.

#PowerFailure

I’ve got this Belkin power bank with an emergency light that’s supposed to turn on whenever there’s a power outage.

Not once has it ever come on when the power is out.

Today I figured out why: it is plugged into my UPS. #PowerFailure

Hopefully they’re not too off base with their repair estimate. (They usually are.)

So far, so good. It’s a pleasant 21° outside, with a bit of a breeze. We’ve opened all the windows and doors and it’s cooling down nicely inside. 1849 customers affected. #PowerFailure

Saturday surprises, but everything worked as expected. Moments later system was safely shutdown without data corruption.
