Power Outage

Had a power outage last night during the storm. Power was out for several hours. I found out that the UPS on my entertainment center, the one that’s supposed to provide life support for the TiVo, has a battery life of about three minutes. When I bought it several years ago it was rated to run my computer (I think it was a 386/33) for thirty minutes. Of course now that I think about the computer I was using it with it may be a lot older than I thought. Well, it’s still good for a line filter, and it keeps things up during flickers and brown outs.

Didn’t end up doing anything with Critter yesterday, probably won’t be doing anything today, but you never know. Ember’s supposed to be hanging out with Rah-Rah tonight. Ember say’s she’s doing OK considering.

I’m going to have to buy a new UPS for the entertainment center, possibly two so the TiVo will be independently supplied in case I leave the receiver/amp on since it draws so much power.
