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

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

@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.

@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 @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.

@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.

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

@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

@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%?
