It's been like ten minutes and the power hasn't been restored.

Thanks to the two UPSes in my room, I'm the only one on the block who has a desk lamp and my computer running. :D

I should probably clean up my work and turn in for the nite.

I'm not sure. I think I have atleast another 5 minutes to go. I'm using an ancient 233 mhz computer right now, but it's running off a 650 VA UPS. Massive overkill.

You mean you have a UPS, and you don't have the monitoring software installed? That's half the fun! ;)

Oh yeah, the desk lamp is running off a 500 VA UPS. I shut it off tho, the power isn't coming back on, I might need to see still later in the evening.

Yeah I know, I dunno how much juice it's got left. It's like walking into the pitch darkness. Oh wait.

Yeah my main computer died, which did have the software, but now I'm using that old ass computer.

You do have your fridge and freezer hooked up to UPSes too right?
Else you'll be cleaning up a terrible mess tomorrow.
