So J and I got a couple of UPSes at a bargain price. J set his up and sorted out proper shut-down sequences etc. Mine got to my house a couple of days ago and have I plugged it in yet? No. Of course not. (Mostly because I need to re-think where to locate machines so that the right ones can benefit from it without too many trailing wires).
There was a power cut earlier this afternoon. And now my Ultra5 is down hard (probably sat part-booted, waiting for an fsck). Given how short the power outage was, having just plugged the damned UPS in would have saved me there.
*sigh*
Guess what I'll be doing tonight?
