Faerie Glen (cnr Glenwood/Oberon) went down 10:40. Luckily Menlyn had power so I managed to get in a round of Indoor Golf Power still down here though

 

[Gothan]

They are getting worse than IS with bad weather, NOw when I see my internet connection is going, I will know the power is next

 

[Luke7777]

Seems Menlo Park (at least the part where I stay) just went down as well.

 

[NoADSLyet]

The joys of Africa. Apparently they "lost" their connection to Cabora-Bassa. How on earth do you "lose" a connection to the biggest hydro-electric power station in Africa?

My sister has coined a new term:

Loadshedding = African Power Management. So much more PC don't you think?

 

[HavocXphere]

Suck especially if one can't get into the house because of electric garage doors. Now I carry old-school house keys with me. Via la Progress.

We were out for the period in Eskom's Load Shed table.

Power still off at work.

Everybody buggered off home.

ROFL, don't even want to know how they "lost" it.

Cable theft?

 

[Voicy]

Cable theft?

Cable theft is dodgy man.

We're forced to connect cables to ring main units and transformers the same day as its being laid in trenches. If we leave it buried but not connected, the okes swipe it over night.

The Armored 4core copper cables go for about R800 a meter, and for a good couple of meters per cable run... so no wonder the guys swipe it like there's no tomorrow.

It's the best when the power goes out half way through the Afrikaans final - leaving everything in complete darkness. Good work Eskom.

Ja nee, kyk... daar het seker 'n paar pragtige gediggies opgegaan...


Krag is weer aan by die werk... darem is dit al amper 5...

 

[The_Techie]

It was funny having the power going off with about 30 minutes to go during the Afrikaans paper

 

[The_Unbeliever]

Doing a remote backup juuuuuuust in case the power goes all bouncy-bouncy this weekend....
