Hot Tea & Internet
Dec. 16th, 2006 03:23 pmAh, the joys of modern life in the electrified world. First thing I did once the power finally came back on was turn on the stove and start heating water for a nice big pot of hot tea. We had been without electricity for 34 hours, when it finally flicked back on at 11:00 this morning.

Oh, and as you might be guessing from this post, my computer's not dead, after all. It seems the power supply overheated but did not burn out, during that power spike. We went out to CompUSA and got a pair of cheap UPSes, and each household computer system is on its own now, so maybe they're a little better buffered against flutters and spikes in the electricity. So we get a little smarter every time something goes wrong.
