essential things

[smittenbyu]

They say the repair boats (1 of them) has reached the affected site today and another 1 will reach tomorrow and the work to be completed by 19th January. The cable lines out in the ocean in Taiwan. So we are to expect slower connections this week as the rest of Asia goes back to work & school today! sigh.. but that's ok. What's amusing is that they ask us to avoid doing unessential items for the time being (especially when connecting to overseas sites). What defines essential?

It reminds us we are but human and our technology is but human-made and nature still manages to prevail. Humbling.
