beeeeeeeeeeee.......
13 June 2007 11:48I was awakened, an hour or so before the time I usually awaken, by an annoying high-pitched whine of some piece of electronics complaining. I couldn't quite place what it was. It seemed to be coming from the machine room, but a search of the room didn't turn up anything. It wasn't in the office and didn't seem to be coming from the bedroom. A bit of closing doors to various rooms revealed that the sound was present in all of them but not coming from any of them. It was coming from the attic. The UPS up there, for the network switch, was screaming. I don't know why, and at that time I just wanted it to be silent again. There was not a power outage, not even a blip of one. I got a bit more sleep, but it wasn't what it should have been.
