When I get home, I see that there has been another power failure. It hasn’t even rained today. My computer has rebooted, but the programs that had been running have stopped. My file server is up and OK, though it had been down for a little while. Flashing digits on my electric clock tell me that the power came back on six hours and eleven minutes ago. That corresponds to when I couldn’t get at the files on the home server from work. I poked at it while waiting for processes to run, during another day of fixing the English on screens. Some of it needs more than a proofreading. I have to make a plan for it. That will involve some other people. It looks like what I’m editing had a stone soup evolution. It started small. People, without consistent planning, added content and features as they thought of them. As usual, I may be the first person to go through everything, page by page, in order. What I’m finding would work better as soup than as screens. I think I know what I’ll be doing for quite a while. At home, I reset my clock and restart my computer. The TV has to reboot, too. Everything is working, but this is definitely the week to get that uninterruptible power supply.
