That was unexpected!

So I'm tapping away at my keyboard about 20 minutes ago, working on some CSS buttons for one of my own websites. Just about to save, update some HTML, and refresh my browser when... ...wait for it... ...the whole suburb loses power. Complete blackout and I can't see a thing. :sigh: It's not even raining, let alone storming with lightning! :confused: So the family grabs some candles, lights them, and we all laugh a bit, but then a few minutes later the power comes back on. What was that all about?!

Probably a solar flare playing havoc with power before it melts us all tomorrow. Either that, or a power cut.

Quick, change the CSS back to the way it was before and act like you don't know what happened!!! :doh: [EDIT] And next time, try to be a more careful coder! [EDIT]

Your neighbourhood blew a fuse. The sum of the power usage became to much for the substation.

Nope. But fortunately I save regularly and only lost about 5 mins of work.

".......then the page looked exactly how I wanted first time! Now you don't get that very often when working with CSS/HTML." That is what you really wish for, but then you woke up and it was a dream. :laugh:

Now there's a tale to tell the grand-kids on a long winter's evening. I think you should write it down somewhere.

So you're living up to your username. That's good.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
But being careful doesn't mean I don't make mistakes! It just means that I'm more at fault when I do make them... :~

Me, all the timeMost of the time, yes. However I'd only made five minute's worth of changes - mostly very small size adjustments and color changes. It was kinda guaranteed to work.

Nope. If he was being careful he'd either be using a laptop or have an UPS attached to his desktop; in either case he wouldn't've lost power. :rolleyes:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
