OK, this has officially gone too far. It seems that once in a few days (like once in every 2 or 3 days), the state-run electricity company decides that my neighbours and I don't need electricity for the remainder of the day. What the *beeeep*??? I work as a freelance programmer, and how the *beep* am I going to get my PC up and running without electricity??? It gets even worse considering the current attitude of customer service in Indonesia (that's where I live, folks...) of "You don't like it, you can kiss my *beeep*". Or in more polite language, "If you are not satisfied with our services, you are welcome to stop your subscription any time".
Again, what the *beeeep*??? In a country where electricity distribution in monopolised by the state-run electricity company, from which other obscure source can I get electricity? Go figure...
Of course, I could learn to build a Tesla Coil to distribute power wirelessly (even if only at small distances), but with the current state of technology that depends mainly on electromagnetic waves, a device which emits electromagnetic radiation like the Tesla Coil would be disastrous for at least any PC and cellphone in the vicinity (with the worst case scenario, the malfunction of any electrical device with ICs inside them).
Then again, how am I supposed to finish my work without a reliable source of electricity? Can I sue the state for this? If not for the unreliability, then at least for the loss of productivity?

You could build a custom power generator. You could haul a bike from your garage up to your room and fit it with a dozen or so of those mini-generators u usually find on bikes. Then you can code away your projects while keeping your heart healthy.
Hehehehe...
Any help on the pedaling would be appreciated, pal. I don't think I can handle the pedaling, thinking, typing, and clicking all at once... :D
