These allowed the venting air to be shut off in winter and opened in summer. giving you great insulation or ventilation. Combined with the many other things they did (vines in front of walls for summer heat blockages, A well populated garden of low water plants, good insulation everywhere, a white painted roof and double glazed windows) meant that for most of the year no active cooling or heating was required.
And this was a place that commonly sees winters with lows of -10 and summers with periods of +35 as the nightly low (daily maxes are +40 for 2 to 3 weeks at a time (Air drying clothes in summer generally took less time than hanging them out. :| ))
Much nicer than the typical house in central Australia.
It was transmission tower failures that took out the network for the significant outage.
for example the a340-600 has a MTOW of 380 tons but a Max landing weight of 265 tons. Just a bit of a difference.
the only downside is a small rotation (3 people 1 week each) and some serious scaling issues which have made the pervious few months much worse than earlier ones. though we also have management buy in to fix the less than good parts.
"The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. that goes for all of us, but especially those, who by their rank, have a leadership role."
That doesn't seem very simple to me.

:( such a sad truth.
"New test patch up with improved protection against irrelevant infosec anklebiters"
from their now protected twitter account.
it would be great if they could support suspending a mosh connection so that you can have a resumable connection without having to have the radio on all the time.
This assumes you get perfect utilisation of the connection (which never happens) so i would probably round up to 450 to 500 days on a 10Mb/s pipe
iirc the workflow with that is change a file and process will rebuild and test it.
this also allows you to finally get around to rolling out eap so the scourge of shared wifi keys can die out :)
