You're out in the sticks right? Is power unreliable or is it just once in a 
blue moon?

Surprisingly downtown Toronto gets regular brownouts. Even in the winter with 
less than 5cm of snow it appears to drive our grid bonkers.

I wrote a custom script that notifies in Z1C when power here goes out, so the 
obsessive-compulsive types know that no, I didn't crash, I had to shutdown.
