rolanni1. The new coffee pot has landed!
2. About a half-hour ago we had a Mystery Power Outage. My screen went dark and my computer went offline as I was typing. I wonder if this means the UPS no longer works. I wonder how I tell.
2A. The power just went down again, taking the screen and the box offline. The UPS also went offline. That's not right. Gah. I don't mean to whine, but I really hadn't budgeted for a new UPS this week.
3. When everything came back on, Open Office helpfully recovered (most of) my chapter. Go, Open Office.
4. It was 45 degrees(F) at my house today. That's not right.
5. Progress on Mouse and Dragon
5A. The above is actually not an accurate count. I have most of two chapters outlined. I only, she said with a straight face, need to type them.

Date: 2009-02-12 01:10 am (UTC)Checking the UPS? Some of them used to have a test circuit? Also, in at least one case, there was a helpful little "battery status" lamp -- which when we finally noticed that it was neither the recommended green nor the warning red, but simply black, did suggest that we had a problem with our UPS. I hate to suggest it, but check the manual? Note: many manufacturers now put manuals online, having discovered that some of us don't keep track of that paper supplement when installing equipment.
