Power down....

Some of the more eagle eyed of readers may have noticed that the weather data hadn't changed since late morning on the 31st October. It turned out that there was a power cut and the backup power supply automatically shut the computer down.

 

 

What then didn't happen was the automatic power-on the following morning!

So after some head scratching realised I had enabled "Wake On Lan" on the computer. This is the facility to send a special Ethernet message to the computer that switches it on. So tonight I worked out how to send and it powered on! So hopefully the weather service is back in business.
