My town is scary...
« on: March 08, 2006, 07:33:00 pm »
So on my way to armed drill practice this morning there was a car infront of us with a "Linux" license plate. I have to say this is the first time I've seen reference to something geeky on a car.

Then after school the Army recruiter was hanging around and he admitted to being a gamemaster for a starwars rpg. What the hell has my town come too when even the military recruiters are geeks? :(

I saw x86, though I don't know if it was picked, or generated.

I saw "HotRod" on a 1976 Volks Wagon. Made me laugh.

Uh... the Unix license plate isn't real.

So yesterday there was a power outage and the local newpaper has an article on it http://www.lamonitor.com/articles/2006/03/09/headline_news/news01.txt.
Quote
The new switchgear includes computer controls that monitor power quality, said Assistant Utilities Manager John Arrowsmith as he explained the electrical outage.

"It's designed to open a breaker on that tieline if voltage drops, so that an alternate tieline can provide power without interruption to prevent damage to customer's equipment," he said. "There are two tielines, or feed connections, and because the second tieline is not connected, the open breaker resulted in a total loss of power to the switchgear. The second tieline is expected to be completed the end of this month."
Sounds like bad programming that it tried to switch to a non-existant backup to me, way to go whoever designed that system.
