Right now outside our window they’re unloading an “aggreko diesel rent-a-generator”.
This is to get the generators up to N+1 again while they repair the last one that’s still being cranky.
Dun dun dun…

No word on the quantum singularity then?

At least its a better picture than the crazy chainsaw weilding tarzan tree trimmer =)
/just not as exciting

Hope it works to.

Yay! A new generator. The others proved to be so reliable ;-)

Just got your email. You guys turned what sounds like a minor catastrophe (Compared to other recent catastrophes) into a hiccup I never noticed. Keep up the good work!

Have you guys clicked the valid XHTM link recently?

perhaps it should be N + 2 instead..;-)

That generator is absolutely… massive. Looks like something that should be powering a submarine, not an office building… However, considering their recent track records I’m not sure I’d trust it to keep me from sinking into an abyss, eh :-D

[...] For those of you glossing over this little part of the email, generators will fail, that’s a given. They might not have checked them properly, they could choke up, this is a very common thing, which is why you always have several, to provide resilience to the system. One fails you’ve got another one to handle the load or whatever. There are different degrees of resilience, and that’s where the term n+1 (which they also talk about later comes into play). N being the nominal number of generators they need to supply the building completely, and plus 1 for the additional generator, in case one fails. [...]
