The site was down earlier today for a couple hours. I finally broke down and bought a UPS (Costco has a 1000VA Tripp Lite for $100), but in the middle of the installation, I was distracted numerous times. Sorry for the delay, I know how much you all missed reading this blog. At least the server is now protected from brownouts and short outages. Well, sort of. The box will still be up, but if the power is actually out, the rest of the network will be down, so the site won’t actually be accessible from the outside. It’s still cool though, and I will get much enjoyment out of it. A UPS is one of those computer accessories that everyone should have, but few people do. Especially in Florida, where the power supply can be very unpredictable and interuptable.
