I am heroic; praise me.
Jul. 26th, 2010 03:59 pmIt appears that a one-hour thunderstorm is enough to shut Montgomery County down completely for more than twenty-four hours. The stoplights aren't even working yet; I'm presently in the cafe at the Whole Foods at Friendship Heights, worrying about my bus ride home.
I have been in the Whole Foods cafe in question for about four hours, working on the non-profit I volunteer for's email. Another volunteer who didn't know what he was doing, and then disappeared, made some obviously-doomed changes to it. When an organization has six employees who are constantly sending large scanned documents around, 150 MB space is not enough for every single email account to share. Their hosting plan and budget make scaling up impractical.
I went ahead and switched them over to Google Apps, but now it's got to do the records propagation business - fortunately they've got a backup address on Yahoo that they're all accustomed to using. I'll still have to wait until the propagation's done to forward all the old email on to the new system, and that might mean coming back up here tomorrow. The power company has issued statements suggesting that it feels inadequate to the task of, you know, supplying power within the next twenty-four hours.
I will buy lots of bread, sardines, and dried stuff - luckily, that's what was on the list already. Fortunately the water and gas lines are okay.
