If you don’t know the Eskom story yet, here’s the short version. Eskom, South Africa’s power supplier, has recently started cutting the power, because they cannot generate enough power for the whole country, hence we’re experiencing a lot of power outages, also known as load shedding.
Yesterday, Eskom was so clever to cut their own power.

I suppose one of the most googled terms in South Africa is ‘load shedding schedule’. We’re all waiting in anticipation to see if the power does go out when scheduled. Sometimes it does, sometimes it stays on, and sometimes it goes out without being scheduled at all.

For this very reason I have become paranoid about saving all my work. My fingers are constantly hitting CTRL+S while I work.

I suppose its not a bad habit, but since CTRL+S has become such a strong habit that I try to ’save’ whilst packing lunch, or brushing my teeth, its probably not such a good thing. Its really getting to me now…
