Five Things Make a Post

[rolanni]

1. 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

10,801 / 100,000 (10.8%)

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.

Re: 2.

How to test UPS:

1.) Unplug UPS from Wall Receptacle.

2.) Discern if PC is still running / operating.

3.) Test complete

Glad to hear you haz coffee again!

UPS

Check your UPS warrantee, or at least call the manufacturer. When my two Belkin ones died, they very nicely shipped me two new ones for virtually nothing. They put the cost of the two new ones on a card, and then when the old ones came back to them voided out the transaction. All I ended up paying was the cost of shipping them the old ones.
