Hi all,

I don't expect service will go offline, but...

Just a quick note to let you know that I plan to participate in Earth hour,
hence I'm just going to turn power off at the mains for an hour tomorrow,
which will be from 10AM until 11AM GMT (on Saturday 28th GMT). Basically
it's just under 34 hours from this post date.

I'll sideline some rules and leave the UPS running the server and internet
through this time. Previous experience indicates that the UPS should last
out the hour without issues, so we should see no service interruption to
the group. In any case it is a good opportunity to test the UPS and give
the batteries a bit of a cycle under monitored conditions.

As per usual, if anybody wishes to argue the political or environmental merits
of Earth hour please do so in General. This is here only to advise the group
of the possibility of an outage.

Cheers,
Kim.
