THE BEAUTY OF LIVING IN AFRICA
Shock and horror again. Back on to a new schedule of power failures. If the news from Stemmit Inc wasn't depressing enough.
Today our electricity provider dropped a bombshell. We are going on to schedule 2 power savings. Today it was Durban's turn and tonight it is my areas turn.
Apparently with no warning the whole country goes into a weekend of rotational powercuts. This is due to a shortage of capacity. Thank god it's not winter but someone has screwed up.
The one good thing is it has taught me to use my phone for once so a first post with my cell phone. Fingers and thumbs and has taken forever to do this. I dont know how dome of you do this and give me a laptop anyday.
My post was done this morning and font ask me to go onto Esteem to post it as that would be a step to far for me. Baby steps with technology tonight.
Everytime these things happen you realize how backward and incapable this lot are.
Man that sucks, It won't stop you from steeming though. I'm glad you still can use your phone!
Where there is a will there is a way. Not as bad as hard fork but still shitty. Candles and steemit. They say its for the weekend but something happened in mozambique with the cabhorrabassa dam. Talking 6 months but they nust be nuts.
Wow, that is crazy. I can't imagine having to deal with that kind of thing. It is amazing the things that we take for granted when we have services like that all the time. Maybe you need to save up some STEEM and buy a generator!
Never was a huge issue before just the odd day here and there. Will see how bad this time is going to be. Havent heard all the facts yet and read the fine print. Nothing is ever what it seems here.
Ah, well good luck with that!
Oh man that sucks big time. I have never heard about countries doing that sort of thing before. Generator time for back up? no solar?.....
Hey shepz. Have looked into it but solar they want to tax you as well for going off the grid. You are doing them a favor but have to apply for a licence. Scared everyone will leave i suppose. Just normal greed and bullshit. This is common in winter but not summer. They couldnt run a piss up in a brewery let alone a country.
So I guess a generator is the only way to go then my friend, and yes, they want to keep you on their faulty grid in most countries I guess.
Chin up my friend.

Laugh you shit lol. Havent worked out how to add pictures yet . The password takes agaes to plug in. Keep getting incorrect password but got musing working lol. Apparently will be back in action again tomorrow morning. Not as bad as a hard fork but feel as though i have been forked somehow. Maybe i should do a freewrite with my fongers and thumbs. Then you may laugh some more. This is me accepting and embracing technology finally.
Use steem connect and you only enter once . Another tip is to add password to notes once and just copy and paste!!
That will just ruin the whole area economy where everything will come to a stop for half a day. Guess you have to get yourself a few power batteries and generators to back up for your daily work.
