Hack Day lightning strike
June 16, 2007 – Graeme Sutherland – Print
A lightning strike to Alexandra Palace caused a fire system failure in the building housing Hack Day, opening air vents in the roof and letting rain into the room.
So, we all have had to evacuate to the palm court and hack together power and internet networks to keep Hack Day going again.
We’ve found a corner, have got some power strips, and I’ve set up a WiFi access point via my 3G mobile. We’re off and running again, but the whole event is pretty disrupted at this point.

Hah, great hack!
