According to power alert, we should be safe for the whole day. The graph looks better than it did the last 2 days.

Problem is that the usage is already higher at this time than on previous days and we are also not aware of Eskom's current generating capacity.

Brace yourselves. That graph looks scary...

When I posted, that graph looked all nice and pretty, now it's a complete stuff up.

Edit: My graph still looks pretty: No loadshedding

Not bwana, me. Hit the refresh button on that graph... and remember that it changes every 30 minutes!

Power went off for 6 hours last night. It wasn't even in the right slot for us. So maybe there was something else wrong

In the past the color red represented danger, I see it has now changed to black.....only in South Africa I guess.
