Well, “tomorrow morning” apparently means about 1:30pm. The guy showed
up and got to work. First thing was to find the breaker for the
hood in the kitchen. This meant turning off various ones until
it was off. The UPS on my lovely linux firewall machine that has
been up for about 400 days worked fine and went over to battery
when it lost power, but then when power came back it kept on
going on battery. I didn’t think it was the UPS with the
firewall, so I power cycled it. Then I got to spend the next bit
wondering why I couldn’t go anywere on the net because the
firewall wasn’t up. 🙁 Finally got it all set… but what a
pain.
