Finally testing the ups

Power went out this morning, and now I can test the ups. This is cool. I sitting in a dark house, but still have connectivity with AT&T uverse. My router and my NAS are hooked up to a ups. I'll probably get one for Vermont, since the cabin tends to have more frequent power blips.

Unfortunately, the coffee maker isn't hooked up to it, so my next cup will be luke warm. Connectivity is more important than hot coffee. I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago. If the power stays out much longer, I'll get to find out if connectivity is more important than heat. It's 30 degrees out.
