There goes the power
26 July 2006 14:00And my first brown-out. At least we think that's what it was. Power went off suddenly and was out about 20 seconds, then came back on. What's the point of making it so short? At least I didn't lose too much info I was working on, though my co-worker did.
Everything came back on fine... EXCEPT for the air conditioner. I think it didn't like that sudden downtime. The whole buildings air conditioners are out. I can see it is going to be a loooonnnnggg afternoon.
Drat. If the power had stayed off, we might have gotten to go home!
EDIT: It went out again. Definitely a brownout. Our landlord is next door, and says this building has auxiliary power, which is why somethings are running and not others. Whole buildings around us (like the movie theater) are totally out. bleah. Just keep it all off I say. I don't want to be in here sweating!! Oh well. Better keep saving every 5 minutes as the power comes and goes. And why doesn't the movie theater have auxiliary? You'd think that would be important!
