    So, our power goes off in 20 min, for the day. As I work from home, my productivity today will be limited.

      Depending on the time of the day the power goes off you can adjust your lunch time or other activity time to that 20min.

          It goes off for the day in 20 minutes, not for 20 minutes in the day.

            During the 2 hours you are on laptop battery, I expect the increase in productivity you gain by not visiting Code Project will more than make up for the lost hours. :rolleyes:

                    I'm surprised that, given where you live, you don't have a generator. Something that would keep you productive for 8 hours or so wouldn't cost more than $500 here. Cheers, Drew.

                      Hey, Christian, if you are a dumb and ugly, confirm that by NOT replying to this message in the next 4 hours*. *Hopefully he doesn't resort to the iPhone.

                                  Sounds like you need some good UPSes. A cheap 550VA model gives me about 2 hours of modem + wifi. With your modem being wireless I assume you'll get less runtime than that but bigger ones aren't *that* expensive.

                                    I'm curious... Is this a daily event, or is it just for the day, a repair perhaps? It's hard to imagine a (relatively) civilized country with power only part time. That said, there are parts of this country where they have no power at all, but that's in extremely remote places.

                                    Will Rogers never met me.
