Trust me on this.

And how do you know better?

Many peeps have questions as to what is " really " going on at Berkeley and

Phone the Estates Office at Berkeley and ask them. Then let us all know.

... I myself imagine powering being supplied by christmas tree light extension cords.

For the low priority that 'infrastructure' is given, very likely.

s@h had to go to the trouble of installing their own data pipe out to the outside world, helped by a very generous sponsor. I very much doubt they've got the high profile or funding required to also get their own dedicated redundant power supply.

The fellows at Berkeley need to go down to a local pub and chum up with a hard hat dude that knows electricity and get a few dedicated circuits going. Come on. What's it take? Be a friend and buy him /her an his / her buds a few brewski's, explain the situation. Berkeley might be surprised at the results.

If you can help, then you are likely welcome to offer your services.

Go for it.
