Sparky's found the problem, some daft rat had gnawed through the cable to the shed; what is laid at ground level. Add some rain and it all go *BOOM*.
Outside has been isolated and he's gone to return next week with new cabling and what-nots.
* other gnawing rodents are available

No, Sparky you fool.

You named the rat? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

What's your problem? Sparky is a nice name for a rat.
Especially for one attracted to cables.

We used to have a cat that chewed mains wires when I was a kid.
Should have seen it when it bit through...
Flew a good six feet backwards, shook himself, and charged back for another go (not the brightest cat we had ever owned)

Who would run cable at ground level, outdoors, without enclosing it in conduit? That's just asking for trouble. 
Will Rogers never met me.

It is an enclosed cable, yet our gnawing friend still got through it. Sparky will be replacing it with something a wee bit more robust.

Excellent! I recommend galvanized steel encased in concrete slurry. Rats are persistent, and have really weird appetites! 
We don't have them here, but rabbits and ground squirrels fill the niche. Rabbits will destroy anything you try to grow, while the squirrels will gnaw anything you wire. What's left, the pigeons crap on, and we're not allowed to kill them. Go figure...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Make the most of it.
How many times in your life will you get to say "You're the dirty rat who killed my outhouse!" and mean it?

I DID accept the invite the minute I received it! Then again, I did it on my phone which probably screwed it up, so give me a sec to do it again from my laptop...

They let you join LinkedIn? I joined long before they had any membership standards, but I thought we'd got mo selective since.

I just realized that I already connected to you in LinkedIn without knowing that it is you!
I accepted your request out of politeness, without knowing who the man is!
Maybe the NV-NW thing, but no mention of gin there!

Huh, I didn't know CP supported the @ tag thing.
I keep vacillating between "Owner" and "Chief Architect". Stupid LI doesn't let me change it to Chief Architect though.
