It's stopped raining now at least. But still cold. The weather website whatever it is says it's 8 degrees now, but it lies, it's really 5 here in the inner suburbs. (46 and 41 for you americans)

Kinda overcast and humid, I think we're supposed to get thunderstorms later. It's a lot cooler than it was yesterday, which is a huge relief.

hello :)
hahah year 2014 and people still turning computers off for thunderstorms. i bet you dont take showers either :rolleyes:

pro tip for the grandpas: if you're really worried about power fluctuations and surges during an electrical storm, do this -

1) Find a long piece of steel or iron. Sometimes its easier to find this rather than buy it (ie. rebar)

2) Cut the end off an extension cord to expose the copper inside (cut off the "female" end), then tape it directly to the metal rod

3) Open your window and poke this rod outside and shut the window on top of it so it stays.

4) Wrap the other end around your computer power cable and whatever else you want to protect a few times, imagine this as a crude copper coil in an electro magnet or motor.

5) Finally plug the extension cord into your wall or power strip where your computer is

This grounds you from the sudden negative potential of an electrical surge. Typically your "ground" connection is physically in the ground, but that's because above-ground is usually positively charged. This is the opposite during a thunderstorm though and is why electronics can be damaged.
