. . . now four minutes past midnight. Something weird's been going on tonight (Thursday night). At some point tonight, the phone made this beeping noise . . . the kind of beeping noise it would make if the power had been cycled . . . off and then back on again, very soon thereafter. I thought the phones were just being weird, and didn't really think any more of it. Then, a bit later on, it happened again, only this time I noticed a light (as I was stood about two feet from a ceiling light) flicker and I could hear my neighbours shouting something about 'house'. And then, yet again, it happened more recently about half an hour ago. This time, the phone did its beeping thing again, symptomatic of a power cycle, only I don't think the cycle was quick enough this time. Some kind of alarm (possibly a burglar alarm) started at the same time as the phone beeping, somewhere up the street, and I went upstairs to check the computer, and it had crashed . . . Not good. The computer was right in the middle of installing the new version of MySQL. Maybe by three in the morning it might all be running again. Dull, dull, dull, dull. Hmmmm, what we need is 3D pong.
