(*dc) uh oh

i knew it was a bad idea to leave everything on last night when i lay down to "take a nap." i woke up to the alarm on my ups (uninterrupted power supply) whining outside my door. this means bad. it means that all the studio equipment, the nice powered speakers, the computer, and all the hard drives took some sort of sudden power cut. it's strange that the loud bang this makes didn't wake me up (i guess i'm too conditioned now by the trash trucks outside my window), but the quiet whine would.

anyway, i'm very afraid to find out whether the data is all still there. i've been working in high-risk mode, not backing up any of my mixes because i don't have any space. i hope i haven't just blown it.

Well, if it's still whining, it still has power.

whew. no. i didn't lose it. justin, it wasn't still powering everything. that ups is useless. and becca, it wasn't an alarm CLOCK...it was the ups's "i don't have any power" or "i'm overloaded" alarm. everything it was supposed to be powering was off, so i don't know what it was complaining about.
