Talking about a comedy of errors. We are supposed to be protected against any emergency relating to a loss of electricity, but things went seriously wrong in that regard over the past few hours: Our main server is currently offline due to last night’s power interruption. Our standby generator was supposed to prevent this from happening, but that unit seems to be faulty as well (even though it was working during a test two weeks ago!).
As a result you will currently not be able to reach us via email or fax until such time as we have identified the issue with our server.
We shall notify you as soon as we are back online.
To add insult to injury, our next, power interruption is scheduled for 08:00 this morning.
