Looking for a UPS solution
Several brownouts this winter have inspired me to start looking for a UPS to help preserve data & sanity. I’ve got two computers (power supplies at 250W and 200W) and a flat panel display (pulling 40W). The cheapest UPSes I can find out there that will handle 500W for 20+ minutes cost around $400. Unless I go to that refurbished UPS place (~$150) and give up any sort of warranty on connected equipment.
Anybody have ideas?
Blog changes are afoot
The pain of maintaining a family blog separate from a family gallery have finally bugged me enough that I have decided to dispense with the blog entirely. I spent a fair amount of time hacking the gallery software to support the kind of display I wanted, and the RSS feed will now include fuller text entries—I think everybody wins.
Check out the new gallery at www.themcdaniels.net and let me know what you think!
New features:
- horizontal display of good-sized pictures
- comments now displayed in-line in full album view
- lots of design cleanup
Enjoy!
