Damn, you Hydro Ottawa!

1:42PM, November 23, 2006 - [ Permalink]

You ruined my 47 day uptime with that 15 minute power failure of yours!

In the time it took to find Hydro Ottawa's phone number, call it, find out that it isn't the "outage reporting number", get the correct number, get told there are no current power failures (pun intended?), then placed on hold, the power comes back online.

Grumble.

Oh, and it is Hydro Ottawa, not Ottawa Hydro for those of you who were wondering - at least, I thought it was Ottawa Hydro.

It sure gets quiet when the power goes out - inside and outside - more noticeably from outside. At least all the construction stopped for a while.. And my neighbor's Windows machine stopped rebooting for a blessed while.

[Edit Nov 29 3:22PM]
Apple has released a security update today, so that would have ended my uptime. which, without the power failure, would have been in excess of 53 days.
