Power came back on just a bit ago.<\/p>\n

\"Images\"<\/p>\n

7 Hours later…<\/p>\n

I’d just switched the laptop over to the Goal Zero unit. (I am trying to write a couple of books you know…<\/em>)<\/p>\n

In any case the network is back up. The DSL is DSLing and the washer continued washing my clothes right were it left off.<\/p>\n

The fridge only got to about 39F and the freezer was still at 32F.<\/p>\n

Printers and scanners and all manner of electronic gadgetry sprang back to life…<\/p>\n

Honestly scared the hell out of me. Suddenly there was movement all around me. Clicks, whirrs, beeps and what not.<\/p>\n

\"Unknown\"You get used to the quiet and then the machines all fire up at once with no warning.<\/p>\n

I’m a little ticked off.<\/p>\n

When I called Edison to report that the power was out they said it was the whole town, and that this was routine scheduled maintenance.<\/p>\n

In other words this was for my own good.<\/p>\n

However, I know for a fact that it was just this little section of town and I hate being lied to.<\/p>\n

They also claim that they were supposed to provide 10 days notice for “Routine<\/em>”  maintenance. I haven’t received shit in the way of notice. <\/p>\n

Had I known that the power was going to be down, I’d have powered down my network and the approximately 10TB of drives and backup storage in a nice orderly fashion. I also wouldn’t have called to report the power was out. This morning the drives just had the plug pulled. Thankfully I wasn’t doing a major file synchronization that would have been a mess.<\/p>\n

The drives have all spun up and are currently cleaning up any issues that may have been caused by open files or un-flushed buffers.<\/p>\n

Luckily, my drives are pretty darn fast and I don’t expect there to be anything that can’t be fixed with a couple of choice UNIX commands.<\/p>\n

And I got a lot of writing done. So that’s a good thing<\/p>\n

\"NewImage\"<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll start taking the computer up the mountain and just write from a nice glade. I could take the tent and some research material on my ipad then write until my hearts content, or until the battery in the laptop dies. <\/p>\n

I could also start carrying the solar panels and have at all day and into the night writing sessions.<\/p>\n

Nah… That starts to sound like camping… <\/p>\n

I prefer camping a la the Four Seasons!<\/p>\n

Not entirely true, I do enjoy camping with the right people and good preparation.<\/p>\n

Now to fire up the Air Conditioner and SIN like there’s no tomorrow!<\/p>\n

Carbon Credits MY ASS!<\/p>\n

I think I’ll send out for pizza delivery too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
