A New Record

Well, this is not development-related in any way but worth mentioning anyway.
I was overoptimistic choosing UPS instead of diesel generator. There is no electricity at home and whole block for at least 22(twenty two) hours and not sure they will finish fixing power line today. Please don’t ask naive question “Don’t you have backup power lines?” – obviously we don’t.

Update. No power from about 9:00 April 22 to about 14:00 April 23. Not an experience I want to have again.
