The unexpected blackout of yesterday had a few happy consequences:
1. Katy and I had a nice and extremely tasty candlelight meal at the pub.
It was crammed full of Hinxton folk who also didn't have electricity. When the lights came back on around 8:30, people asked for them to be dimmed back down in the dining room :D It seems that everybody preferred the atmosphere without the lights (well, except the chef in the kitchen who was apparently not a happy bunny having to cook everything with only 3 pans – still, he did a damn good job)
2. A nice meal was followed by a nice evening with no lights on (well, as few as possible)
3. Since the servers melted at work, combined with a long Easter weekend, the audience for my Thursday morning presentation was greatly reduced from it's normal (and intimidating) size. My talk was well received, which makes me happy.
Fun and unexpected.
Did the servers physically melted???
Have a good weekend.

Hello parental units.
No, the servers didn't physically melt, they just lost power and had to be shut down to prevent data loss.
