Blackout dodging

Ok so the "rolling blackouts" are causing havoc all over the country:  Eskom shuts down the mining industry and asks the government to stave off foreign investment till 2013, the esteemed Minerals & Energy Minister says we all have to go to bed early to save power, traffic intersections are turned into battlezones and otherwise mild-mannered people are driven to bouts of wild rage.  I must confess, however, that today's "outage" has had an unexpectedly wonderful affect - on my day, anyway.   Arriving at a darkened office this morning it quickly became apparent that creative and urgent thinking was required if morning coffee was to be a likelihood.   In a flash we'd relocated to Seattle Coffee Co in Hyde Park (safe from blackouts?) from where I write this.   Great coffee, nice ambience, wireless i'net and easy access to the Exclusive Books' sale tables outside.   Working doesn't get much better than this!    Must have a word with Deshun....
