while talking on CF1 to other chch bods we found that we were having a chchwide problem with a wee brownout that had my darling Vanessa reboot itself and other slight problems around town.

When i went out i discovered dead security lighting, owing to RCDs that had triped as the ****** PDL ones do when there is any sort of fluctuation.

UPS is the word.
Heres a challenge for Billy T
Can a really obscure word for ups be found for this week ???

*Hopes i can post without knocking out the forum for another day or so*

Maybe the problem is that they actually agreed on something, and the unexpected drop in wind power meant that hydro had to kick in . . . . . . . . .

i wouldn't make the effort to meet this powerful chap... So long as we run the countries power grid of parlimentry wind power, we'll only need his services next time parliment votes itself a payrise!

102465 2002-12-02 23:16:00 I think it would be good to put some sticky banner thing over PressF1 on the PC world site, provided this is accessable, saying simply 'out of order' or 'gone bung, back soon'.

Look a bit undignified OK but accidents do happen.

This would at least save the admin being bogged down with emails saying "I can't login' and 'my posts don't show' etc etc.

And save us loyal participants a lot of grief.

Cheers..mark :D c

102466 2002-12-02 23:28:00 Uncouth of me. Also meant to say thanks for keeping us informed of what does go bung. Cheers mark c :) mark c (247)
102467 2002-12-03 00:55:00 Okay.. Next time the site is un-accessible to the world, they'll change it to let the rest of the world know that the rest of the world cant actually get into Pf1 :-) I think by then the rest of the world will have figured it out... ChatF1.net.nz was a real saviour for me - Let me know I wasnt alone in my login mis-fortune!
So thanks Bruce and Liam :-)
