Pondering the Imponderable

I bought a UPS today for my system. We had a few power blips recently after which my computer did not want to restart. Thankfully it just had to power down for a bit then it fired back up. Now I won't have to worry about it. It's an APC Back-UPS Office which is quite nice, but the PowerChute software required me to add a couple of lines to the .ini to get it to work. I had to add
Network=0
Tcp/Ip=No
to the [Communication] section. It took me several hours of digging through help files to find that. Since I have DSL, it assumed that I was on a network and my UPS was out there in TCP/IP land someplace. Now to get it to work in Linux. Yep, APC supplies Linux drivers!

Code Red is still hitting my firewall like crazy. For the past hour it has hit about every five minutes from different IPs. Sheesh. Note to morons: patch your servers!
