Well the power company has been and gone. They have no magic monitoring device
which keeps an eye on your power unfortunately. They checked all the wiring
out the front, saying it's all new, and left.

On the other hand they did say that there have been power problems in the
area, but he said they solved it all about two weeks ago. Funny he said that
as the UPS was making strange clicking noises up until about two weeks ago,
so I'm guessing that may have been related to it. I'm also suspicious that
there may be some other problem that still hasn't been solved. Maybe it's
just a matter of waiting a week or two for a couple more people in the street
to make complaints so they go and find the actual fault.

In any case the server has been running fine since I started this thread.
Let's not panic quite yet...

Cheers,
Kim.

I would drop a leaflet in your neighbors post boxes prompting them to
complain... brownouts are really hard on things like motors (fridge,
A/C, furnace etc.).

We don't want you to move. Just get yourself one of these and turn it on
when you leave the house or go to bed. That should suit us just fine.

Sorry.....this is what I was referring to-

http://norwall.com/kohprice.htm

Any of them would probably work OK for a computer. There's a real nifty
natural gas powered one for $23,000.00. I'm trying to figure out how to use
it as a patchbay.

;o)

Gotta have geo-thermal back-up as well... that way, if there is ever
an extinction level event, the server will keep running! Oh, wait...
crap... never mind.

Not a silly idea at all. I may just do that.

Just aim away from the server! And never use sugar in the coffee....
