Tonight as part of my computer room reconfigure I brought down and moved the web and music server both to a UPS I installed and in 19″ rack cabinet that is about 6′ tall. I had installed the UPS in the cabinet a while ago. I had to change the connector from a heavy duty […]

The Snakeice House of Beats music stream is back up and playing the music from the ’50s to the present with a heavy dose of hip-hop.

Doing some minor music server maintenance will be back a moment.

I need to hook up this nice robust UPS I have so this will not happen but had other more pressing issues since I also need to change the plug ends of the UPS since it is intended for a computer room with special connections. I had flipped the circuit breaker to my dryer’s circuit […]
