FYI, Typhoon had a semi-planned outage yesterday for about half an hour. I bought a new UPS because I thought the old one was bad. As it turns out, the ground wire in the outlet I was using was bad. However, I have a nice new 1050VA UPS that I picked up from costco, for $5 less than the sale price on compusa. That made me happy. I also swapped out video cards (which nobody but me will care about). And, I updated several packages - in particular the C libraries which forced me to recompile the email server (qmail). No mail should have been lost, and it should have all been delivered shortly after the system coming back online. It did take me a while to figure out that I needed to recompile qmail, so that part was down for a bit.
