The power's out but I'm still computing

Go, generator, go.

Last fall, we installed a generator so the household computing infrastructure, including the Internet connection, would keep functioning during one of our frequent power outages. Well, we lost power tonight, and here I am, so the generator is working.

We have to debug some of the interactions between the various UPSes and the generator, which may mean we have to manually unplug them, but overall the result is good. We have water--which because we use a pump we would not normally have during an outage--we can heat the water, and our main refrigerator works.

I'm happy to be able to keep on working. Hurrah!
