Not sure. The data from WESM will reflect the reduction in supply anyways,
but that'll happen when the gencos' plants go down, 10 days from the
reported reduction. The ERC should then alert the public about the
projected shortfall so we can all shut down non-essential appliances,
postpone e.g., ironing, machine-washing, etc.

Perfect, Danny. I'll wait for the details (url, login details, etc.)

Anybody with the skills for making an app for smart phones? The idea
would be simply to download the image from a list of servers. There
must be a way for the app to update its list, and either a round-robin
or a randomized access to servers to avoid overloading. 

Danny, others have also offered to host, which would lighten the load to
each participating server. My idea is to have a master server but there
might be a better way of doing this.

I've used ftp, http get and post, but not rsync. But I can read man
pages and try it, if that's what will work.

I'll set up my server so you can use a script to upload. Once we settle on
a method (perhaps good old ftp) I'll post a link where the latest graph can
be downloaded and mirrored.

After you get the data, you are welcome to do what you want with it. We
want the graph to appear on as many sites as possible rather than just

[hard wyrd]

What about pushing the image to github, and a static github url (eg.
nobrownout.github.io) ?

Just an idea though.

Re: [plug] Switch Off #NoBrownout

[Roberto Verzola]

It was Mr. fooler who did the bash script very quickly hehe. But I'm
not really a bash-ful person so I took the ideas and did it in python.
That took longer.

There problem is I only have regular Internet access, dynamic
addressing etc. 

I do have a Wordpress blog and there's an FB page for the campaign
Switch Off #NoBrownout. You have to tell me what to do next. I have
a .png file sitting on my harddisk. How do I get it to your server? A
long time ago, I did a python program using http POST. I've forgotten
how, but I could learn it again, if that's what it would take.
