The heat is on
Posted by Michael Dale on Wed, 13 Oct 2004 7:50 PMToday seriously didn't have enough cool factor.
38c. Damn!
Stuart and Greg are currently in a blackout. There are some North Sydney Substations which have keeled over and died.
My computers aren't liking it either. No aircon in this room. I've got the cases off the servers and my main pc. Fun fun.
Meant to be the hottest day in October in 150 years! wow.

This isn't as hot as it gets all the time; this is about halfway through Spring here. Summer starts in December, and continues through February.
Heh. Looks like Max is without power too. Poor people.
Lol. I had no power issues whatsoever and my airconditioner has been running all day. Prefer winter to crappy summer any day. It is SOOO much easier and comfortable to warm up than to cool down. And overcoats own - they can only be worn when its cold.
Last October on one particularly hot day, a couple of inner-northern Sydney substations keeled over and died. This lead to lengthy blackouts in many upper-class suburbs, including my own suburb. Last night at about 9:30pm AEST, it happened again. Same ...
Hmm. No aircon here, either, but computers all seem to be behaving fine. I had one crash, but that wasn't anything out of the usual, and it came back up without problems... *grins* It was apparently 42 degrees according to a car thermo. here earlier today... but that'd be an in-sun reading, which isn't valid for the purposes of measurement. Meh!
I like heat. It's been disputed, but I think summer is better than winter, any time.
