As stated it could not connect to the Unit C4 415V Emergency Board and it remained dead, however as there was DC power in the Station section, it was powering the Station Emergency Board and was therefore running under some, minimal load. The Bus Tie between the Station 415V Emergency Board to the Unit C4 Emergency Board was left open when cross-feeding was possible. Additionally the DC Lube Oil and Generator Seal Oil Pumps were not specified if they were connected to the Main or Distribution DC Bus. If connected to the Main Bus, the ACS change-over would not have re-energised them, although reclosing the interconnector, or closing the battery breaker would have.

The Voyager Conspiracy, Season 6, Episode 9 - Photonic fleas, be free! In this episode, Australian engineer and podcaster John Chidgey comes aboard to make the case for The Voyager Conspiracy (S6E9) as one of the must-watch Voyager episodes on Jean’s Voyager Viewer’s Guide. He argues that it is a crucial moment in the relationship between Captain Janeway and Seven Of Nine, whereas Jean labeled it as a “skip, unless you’re interested.” (Bonus: there are some great moments for Janeway-Chakotary shippers.) Host Jean MacDonald with John Chidgey.

Recorded 26th May 2019 This week I am joined by the semi regular co-hosts Nick (@spligosh) Riley and Donny (@rtteachr) Yankellow, to take a look at the stories of the last week or so. Of course, after the week light on news when I recorded with John Chidgey there has been a veritable deluge of news over the last 7-10 days. Including a new MacBook Pro, the WWDC19 “invitations”, the whole Huawei “blacklisting” affair, an odd little gaming device from Panic and a depressingly long list of security stories.

Recorded 12th May 2019 Alright – it is late again, mea culpa! However in my defence this show took quite a lot of creative editing as I split it in to two parts. This week stories were a bit thin on the ground (as so often happens in the lead up to WWDC). However I was joined by John Chidgey of Bubblesort and The Engineered Network (home of Pragmatic, Analytical, and more) and we had a good old chat about a variety of technology topics. Actually we recorded so much material that I have split the show into two episodes... So here is “Part One” and “Part Two” will follow as the next edition of the show. The power of “post” has allowed me to make it sound like this was how it was intended; but I can promise you that isn't how it happened at all!
