- UK : East : well done UK Power Networks Lost mains power on Sunday morning, (still stayed online, there are 4 UPS units in my house :laugh_at: had to call the UK Power Networks man. To be fair the 105 call centre was really helpful although they did have me resetting the breakers in my house (which I knew hadn't tripped) and looking in the meter cupboard which I knew was off supply and so were a few other folk in the street.. Dude turned up only 1/2 hour later and replaced a feeder pillar fuse, even managed to get a pic of the van and the fuse (I didn't take a pic of the feeder pillar as the substation is very near my house and I don't want anyone monkeying around in there!) This fuse had opened (400A, takes a lot to do that!) everything in my house stayed working other than my telephone exchange which blew its power suply due to a combination of the rough UPS power and possible surge down the combined neutrall/earth when power was restored, had to rebuild one out of a old laptop with busted keyboard...

- Genetics boffins foxed by Excel data imports… To be fair, this autoconversion of text into dates is a known feature of Excel (and some open source equivalents) and has been for some years - whether or not it is desirable or useful depends on the incoming date (even valid dates/times can be mangled if they get inadvertantly converted to American format when you are in a European country). It can be prevented in various ways (by ensuring the column is treated as raw text and not autoformatted into anything else) and is not Microsofts fault - as one the profs himself points out Excel is not always the best tool for scientific analysis (I would have thought something like scilab or matlab might be better; and that people who are much smarter than myself to do this kind of research and presumably are in top science Universities should surely have access to better IT resources?)

- AU : Archivists preserving 1980s digital content Two interesting articles (I am currently working on a project related to backups and archiving for business continuity purposes) - although many of the Techdirt commenters are so caught up with ranting against copyright etc and arguing about various tech issues and the (obvious) political content of her writing that they completely miss the point that Ms Greer (now in late middle age and may well be suffering health problems) is actively co-operating with the Australian profs whom she has given the archives to.. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160809/08141135195/archivists-grapple-with-problems-preserving-recent-culture-held-tape-cassettes-floppy-drives.shtml https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/aug/05/germaine-greer-archive-digital-treasure-floppy-disks

- NL : This is a serious listening post… Check this out (also impressive is that a chap of 55 is into trance and uses a trance track for his intro!). The set he uses mostly for marine HF is originally from Soviet East Germany and was advanced even by Western standards (it is still a good set today). [yt]grRM7v5A-gU[/yt] NL6777

- DE : "Smart" Osram LED lamp can cough up your wifi password. WTF is the point of these anyway? Even if they work as expected they are likely to fill the surrounding area with radio interference as well as light (the Zigbee wireless links used can also cut across the 2,4 GHz wifi bands which are already crowded and polluted). If you really want a pretty lightshow in your house or hackspace there are better tried and tested ways of doing it with DMX which can still be securely linked to remote control systems...
