Monday is a New Day

Monday is a new day and i'm going out well or unwell. Watching the morning traffic from the balcony i decide that i'm going out shopping.

I have a shopping list and it's not going to get itself. Some of it reads UPS, Tools, a new 3-3 RCA cable, extension lead, Screws, Smart-Bro stick, Long USB cable, energy drink, beer, wine and no doubt these items will lead me to a few extra impulse buys.

An AVR would have been fine but i feel safer with a UPS and try to avoid using the old desktop with just an old AVR. You pay for what you get so i happy with the extra cost of the UPS. Replacing the PSU in the tower and each time buying a more expensive AVR would likely cost more in the long run let alone the trouble of down time and buying parts when that would be the one day i just wanted to stay home.

abbreviations used above

• UPS Uninterrupted Power Supply (often found attached to servers or important work stations)
• AVR Automatic Voltage Regulator (name suggestive but only to some degree, not perfect)
• PSU Power Supply Unit  (the box inside your computer that takes the power in and gives everything power)
