About last night...
Feb. 19th, 2010 02:34 pmI've not been sleeping very well lately and have been pretty tired during the day. Last night didn't help much, either. The battery in one of the UPSs decided to fail or something and the thing was emitting a constant squeeeee that woke me up at 2am.
When I woke up, it took me a moment to realize I was hearing it (the bedroom door was closed) and that it was, indeed, something inside and not outside. Only shutting the UPS off entirely made it shaddap. I'm guessing the battery's died in the thing. Fortunately, it's pretty much just there to condition the power going to some of the A/V stuff in the living room. Still, I'm betting that a replacement battery plus shipping is going to cost more than going out and just getting a whole new UPS.
