Powerless

We had a critical problem with our "uninterruptable" power supply at work today. I've always hated that term (UPS). We had to shut down (i.e. interrupt) all of the important servers and move them to another UPS, lest the already swollen batteries (that were flooding the area with a lovely sulfuric smell) burst and spew battery acid all over Yeoman Jackson. Having to shutdown the very servers we never want to have to shutdown was... splendid indeed. And it ruined the 131-day uptime streak of one of my servers. :(
