I'm beginning to wonder about my city's power system as of late. There have been a couple of power outages in the last year in my general area, and several other in neighboring areas.
Ah well, my APC UPS did the trick keeping my server powered and online. I gave it an extra boost it wasn't thrilled about in an effort to the power last longer by plugging my UPS into my XPower Pocket PowerPack (The one I picked up in the summer to power my IPaq and IRiver during a cabin trip). The thing says it can portably run a laptop for a while, and it has a 3 prong AC power outlet on it, but my UPS, probably understandably, insisted on flashing its faulty wiring light while sucking power from the thing. Still, it worked. You on the net never knew I had another power outage.
There's something kind of satisfying about being on a dark block in a dark house, but still having a server connected to the internet.
