We have a new kerosene heater for me to be in charge of. Hard to see how anything could go wrong really.

Can you toast Yodels?

Email to say no work tomorrow... So a drive in to power down the server room and then home in front of some movies.

Good old Blitz spirit, eh?

Almost exactly like that, though not nearly so well made, I am sure.

There hasn't been much need to change the design really, I don't think.

Can you pick up the Home Service on long wave?

Ha!

We do have a wind up radio.

Not bothering with a generator... Just run an extension cord in from the car. It doesnt power everything, but it does the tv/dvd and internet (assuming cable stays up).

The good news is...Sandy will probably not destroy much property as it is fairly slow moving. The bad news is...because it's slow moving there will be a lot of rain...making the ground very soft. Most of the damage to property will come from the millions of trees that are expected to fall.

that was what took out all the power lines up here last year... Falling trees.

Same here.

ocean city maryland currently getting battered

Can't you remotely do that?

Anyway, the missus finds out 6:30am if there's no work or not tomorrow.

Handy number to have on hand if the power goes out....

I knew I should've bought one of these things,

I can bring the servers down remotely, but not the switches and WAPs.
