@CityPowerJhb @herriediewpman Blackheath just went off. Is that 'new information'?

@herriediewpman Hi, we apologise for the inconvenience caused. New information will be communicated as soon as it becomes available.^NN

#CityPowerUpdates #CityPowerOutages #HursthillSDC Outage Update: Hursthill SDC Date: 11 June 2024 Roosevelt Substation: Affecting power supply to customers in Northcliff, Fairland, Berario and possible surrounds. Operators are onsite locating the fault and running the necessary tests. The estimated time for restoration (ETR) is unavailable at this stage. Further information will be provided in subsequent updates. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. Warning: The power system is constrained. We urge customers to reduce their electricity consumption to prevent overloading the system.^MB

@CityPowerJhb Is this why Blackheath is out? Do you have an estimate for restoration?

#CityPowerUpdates #HursthillSDC Roosevelt Park Substation, Berario distributor : The Tss Ebony of Acacia interswitch flashed. Operators are currently preparing to restore power through backfeeding. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.^HN

@CraigN Because I'm not paying to have a usable interface, because the signal:noise ratio has dropped dramatically in the last year and because a lot of interesting people I followed have gone elsewhere.

@SQLintheWild Oh no. Why not?

@ride_trips A box of kittens? That sounds like a story.

@tjaybelt I've had a training provider send me mails with a 'ask for the last time (honest)' about every month for the last ~4 years

in a blind email from a vendor. I would assume my non response is a response. or an indication of my level of interest...

@scalzi I can't see replies to tweets today at all. And some people I follow (and respect) are still on the 'Twitter's fine, everything's working as it should' train....

@Hugo_Kornelis @GFritchey My best was recording the voiceover for a demo, then realising after that while the preamp was plugged into the computer, the mic was not plugged into the pre-amp

@GFritchey My most common mistake is not noticing when the audio setting switches (again) from my high quality microphone to the one in the webcam or even the laptop's builtin mic. One hour of recording, one minute of listening, and I know I can restart from scratch.

I think I've messed up video recordings about every possible way. This is the first one where I didn't even turn on the *&$@#%^ camera.

@GFritchey @venzann @Ko_Ver I once stayed at a place in London that was just large enough for the bed and a table at the bottom of the bed. The only open space in the room was where the door opened into.

@venzann @Ko_Ver London. I stayed in a place there where you literally couldn't open the door because it hit the bed. I had to toss my bags in, then crawl through.

Running a tad late because I had to switch hotels (don't ask), but on my way to #datasatrhineland

@jeffvandermeer I really want to read this story.

The psychic resonance of each remnant seemed attuned to inflict woundings in humans most of all. Minds warped in proximity and strange coordinates at terrible velocity germinated, blossomed, cld not be cast out. Am I forever now trapped, peering from the flaming eye of the past?

The old angels in their psychotic, graceless way had left behind such remnants as forever haunted the landscape where they had fallen. Each signature different: here, the eruption of a giant fossilized wing, there a structure like a gutted lighthouse, but not. Damaged relics.

@MattParmeter @scalzi Same delusion that allows C-level execs to believe that their staff need them more than they need their staff.

@Mikeazariah @dirkmacgirk @Verone3784 Well, Shepherds pies aren't made from shepherd, so you're probably safe. Maybe.

@dirkmacgirk @SQLintheWild @Verone3784 So you are saying I should not eat my brother's 'German Shepherds Pie'

Ugh, it's been quite a while since I last made cottage pie... so good. 😋😋😋😋😋😋 #food #dinner

@Mikeazariah @Verone3784 Technically, as I understand it, a shepherd's pie is lamb mince, a cottage pie is beef mince and vegetables.

@Verone3784 Is it a Canadian thing to call that Shepherds pie?

@JenMsft Definitely coming from my laptop, it's the only machine that has Teams running on it. Desktop notifications are off, only calls are allowed to rung, and still every chat message dings

@SQLintheWild Last time that happened to me the cause was me having my laptop open beside my desktop and the sound wasn't actually coming from my desktop 😅

Outside of checking for updates, what were you looking for the last time you opened Settings?

@Entelect Tactile. Clicky ones should be banned from anywhere where other people can hear.

Mechanical keyboards. Clicky, tactile, or linear?

@venzann I am getting so much crypto spam by DM these days...

@CityPowerJhb How can I follow up on an open call? Your call center hangs up on me every time I call. CPWEB3863814 - Power was working yesterday after technicians made a temporary fix, today again it's not working.

@CityPowerJhb So, what's the chance of actually having power between the scheduled end of maintenance at 5 and the start of load shedding at 6? 2%? 5%?

#RooseveltSubstation Planned maintenance is still underway until 17h00. ^NT

@scalzi Thank you. It's cold, wet and winter here, so not many flowers.
