alexpgpHey! United Parcel is pretty cool, but today, after entering about three hours and a quart of sweat worth of data into my QuickBooks program, the La Plata Electric Association's grid went la-la. Pandemonium broke loose as lights began to flicker, printers began to recycle, and alarms began to whine.
One of them was on the UPS I'm talking about (my uninterruptible power supply), which paid for itself today by keeping my machine alive amid the turmoil. I exited gracefully and shut the machine down, then switched my A-B box and was able to gracefully shut my Linux box down, too. Whew.
In other news, I went to talk to Zach about establishing a web site for the group and got the go-ahead to reserve a domain name. Then we got to shooting the breeze and come up with the idea of finding a way to fund a company trip to Russia, for the purpose of performing Shakespeare - in Russian.
My initial reaction was to think the idea is, um, out there, but I've begun to get comfortable with such ideas in recent years, as I seem to keep getting involved with "out there" ideas (buying a small business, for example). In fact, the more I think of it, the more do-able the idea sounds. It needs some more thought and planning, though.
Meanwhile, it's time to go examine the inside of my eyelids for a few hours.
Cheers...
