I could simply not share the server (other than the web hosting) which

ed relay click.
I checked the power in my outlet and it's sitting on about 244volts (supposed
to be 240). I saw it go as high as 245. It floated down towards 243, and
clicked, then went to 242, then back up to 243, then went to 244 and clicked
again, so I'm thinking the UPS is perhaps almost permanently lopping a few
volts off the top. Every now and again the voltage drops almost down to 240
and the UPS switches to normal mode for a bit. I only looked at it for about
5 minutes, so I'll have another look over the next week or so and see if
I can confirm this.
Cheers,
Kim.

matter which domain you use.
I'll have to have a look at it when I get back home. I'm sure this can be
done...
