Hi Tony and all,
I understand your plight, servers don't like heat which is why centers are
climate controlled. With the high cost of electricity (thank you Queen Julia)
it's better to shut them off and keep the wife cool, they too go into
meltdown with adverse effects.
Word has it the monsoon finally came and with it the rains but not much in SA
but it cooled down a bit. Patience, heat waves don't last forever much to the
annoyance of the greenies. Funny how they shut up in winter but then it's
summer here and they're a din in our ears. Naturally they don't look at the
planet as a whole as that would spoil their agenda, like the "scientists" in
their corner they cherry pick the data. NASA satellites have measured a
slight COOLING over the past 10 years but oh no, they're wrong when weather
stations located in now built up areas (hot spots) say the opposite.
Rant mode off.
Oh yeah, with drought come fires and the more widespread the drought the more
widespread the fires. I've seen pictues and videos, I know exactly what
you're talking about with a massive wall of flame advancing as fast as an
express train. Thankfully the US hasn't experienced really bad ones the past
year but you never know what's around the corner. Not long ago we had some
wicked ones here in New Jersey and like your gum trees pitch pines go up like
match sticks. Soft wood loaded with highly flammable sap once used by the
shipping industry to make pitch for caulking tall ships rather speaks for
itself, the whole of South Jersey is covered with them.
Oh, you mentioned "reverse 911" as we call it here, before and for some time
after hurricane Sandy the local Office of Emergency Management used a
telephone robot and recorded messages to call every phone in town at regular
intervals. It kept us up to the minute on developments and there were many in
the aftermath, we weren't left wondering. One problem, that's wired phones of
which there are few these days since everybody went mobile. Subsciber numbers
are owned by the provider and therefore unavailable, do a reverse lookup and
all you'll get is the provider info and number.
Heh, 29 degrees is comfortable for you and the equipment, surely you're
grateful for relief. Raspberry pi? Strange, I know blueberry pi, cherry pi,
apple pi and even mince pi but raspberry?
