So yesterday during the rain my power went out. My UPS' battery is pretty much shot, and as it was it didn't power my server long enough for it to shut down correctly. So the server shutdown hard. And it wasn't happy. Especially the virtual machines. But that is the joy of virtualization! I moved some files around, set everything back up, and BAM, I was up and running again. (Of course that took a few hours... doh!)

So now the when it rains part... I didn't want to take that chance again, so I ordered a new UPS. While I was at it my hard drives were full (4% free of 1.8 TB!!) I ordered a 4th 1 TB drive to add to my RAID. And of course I have outgrown all the cases I have at my place, so I had to order a new full tower for my server.

So much for all that extra credit I paid off this month... (Just means I won't be able to do I planned for next month)
