Fire update

Back online at last, yesterday was one power cut after another. Late afternoon we had power for a couple of hours, but even then every few minutes was a "brown out". When I tried the internet during that time my ADSL was working but I couldn't connect to the ISP's server. We heard that Athens also had a couple of big fires, so possibly they were effecting the data centre in some way, although I can't find information about that.

The fire to the south of us is quite extensive, but a previous fire last month has made a fire break that should prevent it moving towards us. The fires to the north are much further away than we first thought. At the moment they don't seem to be a big threat, but you can never be sure.

Since a power cut that lasted about an hour last night at 9pm the power supply seems to be much more stable.

We are at the same time suffering a really hot spell. The temperature while I’m writing this at 6am is 86 degrees. Daytime temperatures have been in the mid to high 90’s, possible higher as I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the thermometers that we have.
