Cat and mouse

Now it's now it's off. The power came back on for a couple minutes then it went off again. I really sympathise with the mouse being toyed with by the malevolent cat. When this end?!!

Engineers on site

Latest up date is that the engineers are scratching their heads and wondering how to turn the power back on. I do hope they come up with an answer soon otherwise it will a second night without my PTI fix. How will cope ?

Another Power Cut

Well it's nine o clock at night so it must be time for a power cut! The difference this time is that it is very localised to 19 house around me - now if you are paranoid you might think that some was out to get me.

Let's hope things are sorted out quicker than last time.

Experimenting with abstraction

After feeling sorry for myself I have started to experiment further with the drawings I made during the power cut.   Last week at one of my art classes I had a terrible time with abstraction.  This is not because I don't get abstraction  but rather that I felt that this was not the right place nor method of trying to introduce this to the class - this didn't go do well.   Anyway, I'm interested in abstractions in my digital work and so here is the latest attempt.

Power Cut Drawing

Whilst I was bemoaning my lot during the power cut I made these two drawings by only the light of a camping bulb. I have decided to call these the supply drawings. Looking at these in the light of day I like them as they are just slightly expressionistic - well sort of ish.

02:25hrs

The power finally came back on at 02:25. All around parts of the system was restored and perhaps the most frustrating thing was that the road 20 metres away came back on just after midnight. Still everything has been restored so we can get back to our life. Sent from my iPad

Power cut update

Well according to the Central Network there 502 customers effected by the power cut which represents 90% of faults on their system. The thing that is so frustrating is that in the near distance there are street lights and house lights on. Grrgh.

Power cut

Deep joy we've just suffered a power cut! I am reduced to blogging and surfing on the iPhone at 3G speeds. Oh the injustice of it all.

Blasted power cuts

I was just going to bed last night when we had a 20 minute power cut.  I looked out of my bed room window and saw that in the distance the street lights were on.  So I went to bed.   20 minutes later I was woken by the TV coming back on as well as the lights.  So I got up and switched everything off.  Back to bed.

This morning I faced a different problem.  My network server seemed not to be functioning correctly.   More ferreting around rebooting machines etc and finally everything was back up and running.   This is just another reminded, if one was needed, of how we are all reliant on complex systems to make our lives just a bit better.  After all, if you are reading this then you are also reliant on the same system.
