Yepply.. We lost mains power at 2pm.  Due to being without power most 
of friday also, the UPS was already pretty much gone (takes a good 
three weeks to get back to full charge), so power in the building 
dropped at about 2:30pm..  Power came back up up at 5pm, but I think 
actew were attempting to run the whole suburb off a smallish genny, as 
I dropped the whole suburb back into darkness when I flicked the 
breaker on the main switch rack back on..  Equipment from the facility 
was evacuated at 8pm due to encroaching flames. - hoping to be able to 
take equipment back tomorrow, and then go searching for a 15kVA genset 
for hire for the week while they replace the woden power station..

So yep, aprs.net.au dns (plus igate, plus everything else hosted at 
the ISA colo centre) will be offline until at least tomorrow 
afternoon..

Hmm, time to up the battery bank on the PABX.. Who would have thought 
that 8 hours backup wasn't enough??? D'oh!

BTW, is the VK1 hamfest still on tomorrow (today!) ?? anyone know??

Cheers,

Damien

day! :( )
