At 0717, I was dong my morning work (i.e., catching up with the news and opinion at may favorite sites). The ups protecting the tv in the living room beeped. It was short one, or maybe two chirps. And, my internet connectivity was gone. LUGable was reporting "limited connectivity". Sigh. I tried restarting my connection to the wireless lan. It said all was ok. Had to save all my work. Rebooted to no avail. So I went to the garage and cycled the "data center".

Everything computing is eventually hooked to one extension cord that end right by the door. One tug, everything powers down. Plug in, everything powers back up. Maybe? Arghh!

By the time I get back to LUGable is happily reconnecting all my apps to the net. The Clam AV tells me "we have had a disconnect" of some stuck drivel! I'm aggravated. And, I've lost 22 minutes. Double Argh! There has to be a better way.

UPS the wap? Or, was the problem the ISP at the pole?
