Dun Dun Daaaaahhhh…
They just did it! I have a smart meter! OMG!!!!
As a result of the 1 minute (or so) power interruption to my home, caused by the roughly 5 minute visit from the BC Hydro employee who installed the Smart Meter pictured above (including knock on the door) my website updates were interrupted.
I have restarted the system, I will be contacting BC Hydro ASAP to demand compensation for this unscheduled downtime and the significant website revenue I have lots because of it.
I hope you can detect a ton of ridiculous-ness in this post. You can read what I sent to City Council about this issue here.
(And yes, the meter was actually installed at approximately 11:55AM, my wife reports the installer was a very nice BC Hydro employee who seemed a touched surprised when she said we were excited to finally have our Smart Meter installed.)

I am trying to contact your smart meter as I type..stand by…….;)
What’s that? Can’t hear you for all the buzzing in my head from the EMF waves!
Good letter to City Council Chris – nicely put.
By the way, where are those 9C temperatures forecast by EC? Yesterday I told my family not to expect anything over 4 or 5 today, but I see we struggled to reach 2C.
Oops, there it is! Up by 7.6 degrees in one hour!
Ah there we go Bill! 🙂 I was doing the dishes after dinner and noticed the wind come up.
Thought to myself… “uhoh, the cat won’t be happy.”
So I went to the back door, opened it, and it was like a tropical breeze out there!(The cat came scurrying in telling me all about how wet and miserable it was out there!)
Is that buzzing affecting your weather instruments? Oh wait, its almost 9c here too… lol.
ah holy windy…power is out across my street..and it never went out last storm..
i feel sorry for the poor guy who lost his job meter reading!
You can’t contact his smart meter, I changed the IP addy to a proxy. Chris now lives in Hong Kong…;;)
Nick: NEXT ON THE NEWS AT 6:—> Smart Meters cause global warming!
Allenfong: It’s true. Though my wife mentioned something I had never thought of… she’d rather some guy checking our meter from behind a computer desk, than a random stranger (with a BC Hydro hat) coming into our backyard while our kids were out there playing. A mothers perspective.
Heather: Gung Hay Fat Choy! Better late than never!
