Well, no sooner had I finished bitching about the state of my health than the power went out. No lights, no phones, and all the computers dying in one mass exhalation. The server room was a hive of activity with all the machines emitting plaintive "feed me!" beeps at intervals.
The people across the street had power, so it may have been just this block. Lacks the grandeur of the Great August Blackout of '03, but I missed that one, so this will have to do. What with Sunday's blackout at home, I must be up to my quota.
Anyway, it's back now, obviously, but email is painfully slow, and whatever motivation I may have had to begin with is all gone.
