Power Taste Test

without comments

In theory, I’m on vacation today. What that mostly means is that I’m hanging out with some pals to watch baseball opening day after noon today. So I end up doing work all morning. Well, Wake County, NC is getting rocked by thunderstorms today (though nothing like the severity that midwest experienced last night). I emailed James and asked him to call me if the power goes out on the servers (they are on UPS’s but I don’t have them monitored, and they are not in buildings with generators, which is just overkill for now).

So… after sending a rather benign:

If ncsu loses power and something of ours goes down - let me know.
Cell == ###-###-####. I’m at home until noon - but my friend doesn’t have
wireless - so I won’t be on the network after noon until this evening.

and then he responds:

I will not test the outlets with my tongue. No. Absolutely not.

Best LOL of the day.

All I could say was that paperclips would be fine, I was laughing so hard.
