Good morning tooters. Bit of a different morning today, I have no power! No one in my area has power & hasn’t since just after 1am, what fun. Stayed in bed until 7.30am keeping warm & waiting for full light & deciding what to do. It’s around 4c now, so pretty chilly, but only my feet are cold & it will be a lovely day by the time it gets to the max of 23c this afternoon. According to ausnet the power could be out all day. I must admit it has thrown me a bit, it’s been a long time since any real outage here but I can work around it for now. I removed my little portable induction cooking plates & the cover I have over the gas cooktop. Found some matches as the little gun thingy (tech term) has died. I now have a cup of tea & have boiled a couple of eggs. I’ve got the mocha pot out that I use when house sitting & can make coffee. So I’m good for food & cooking - yay! My daughter & the grandkids were going to be coming round later, miss 7 wants to give me something from the schools Mothers Day stall. I’m not sure if I’ll end up down there instead, just waiting for her to get back to me. I would like to be able to fully charge my devices, so may well go down there. I think I might drop into the supermarket too & get another gas lighter gun thing & matches - can you still buy matches 🤷🏼‍♀️. I have candles if necessary for tonight.
Have a great #Sunday everyone. Stay warm & have a lovely day.

Unfortunately, my horse power computer is now offline. And I am in another city so no access to it. It's likely that there has been a #poweroutage which is now very common in my country #iran

I am doing experiments with #wakegp to see if my simple method for parsimony pressure is effective. Till now, it seems that its effect is very little. I'm thinking of other methods for parsimony pressure such as bucketing and tournament selection(for size instead of fitness).

I am expecting to deliver results in summer, God willing.

Last week's #PowerOutage in Spain was a wake-up call for many people. I personally found out at 12:35 that my printer wasn't responding, and seeing that our house was without electricity, I went out on the street, like several neighbours. Through them, I got fragments of news, some had still mobile data connection, while most had no network coverage whatsoever.

The headline here said:
"Spain, Portugal turn power back on, seek answers after one of Europe's worst outages"
(CBC news, "world" section)
They had a sub-7 hour outage.
I guess their electric grid is a lot better than the North American ones, that occasionally suffer multi-day outages.
Eg, ice storms, electromagnetic storms, excessive demand events (those last in Texas).
So kudos to Spain for quick recovery.
