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

      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.
