Last week tuesday, wednesday and thursday (31st March, 1st April and 2nd April), I got to the office in the morning, like any other day, and within about an hour or so the power was out..... with no warning. It came back on and then off again and then on again and then off again. So, we had to turn QCLOPS off. The intermittent power outages continued the next two days as well. We have now decided to get a UPS that can run for a longer number of hours. We considered the option of getting a generator but decided against it due to a number of logistical reasons.
Hopefully this would solve our power problems.
