I didn't get the 4 to 6 this morning

We had 4-5am in CT (zone 11) this morning. Happy to report that our Body Corporate inverter was installed on Tuesday, so the building lights stayed on.

odd that CPT would do it, but JHB didn't which normally are strict. Also what is BC inverter?

How do you guys know when early morning load shedding kicks in? I'm not as diligent about checking those funky little graphs because I can't read them from inside the house

I was awake. I used to be able to tell from my ADSL modem, but that has been on a 12V battery for the last few months. The Claremont (CT) ADSL exchange also has a battery backup, and my up-time is now at 107 days and counting...

Our Body Corporate shiny new inverter has charts, but that's down 3 flights of stairs.
