Saturday Sept 24th
Power cut off at the Hub this morning 6.30am so all the network is down. Apparently this is a normal occurence at this time of year when dawn breaks. The pheasants fly out of the trees into the line and short it all out. It usually takes four hours for the Electriciy people to fix it, so by 11am power should return and the mesh will wake up.

One side of mesh taken out today with power cut whilst the United Utilities people cut down some trees. Normal service will resume this afternoon. Please post here if you find any problems when the power comes back on.

Power went off again overnight but took out the whole mesh this time. It happened about 2 am but all was up and running again by 6am. All boxes checking in fine. 22nd September 2005
actually it didn't take out all the boxes, the imesh (on a battery) continued to work, but with the power cut no computers could access it... Perhaps in rural locations we need more batteries? Or our own power station...generator... ???
