oh hey, I have a desk
My (old) UPS has not been doing so well on the "U" part lately; a power flicker a few days ago rebooted my computer, and I attribute the loss of my browser tabs in a recent power outage to it. The replacement I ordered (on Thursday night! with the slower free shipping!) came today.
I took the opportunity to reorganize because, demonstrably, I don't otherwise. I kept my older Mac Mini for its CD drive (I should get an external CD drive, I guess), but removed the flatbed scanner that my newer Mac Mini can't talk to. (I've gotten used to just using the camera on my phone, at least for now; if I need a better scanner at some point in the future, I'll deal with it then.) I also don't need to keep a monitor plugged into the older machine, which I access via virtual desktop when I need to.
I can see more of my desk now. Wow, there were a lot of dust bunnies around the base of the scanner!
(I would have had to move things around, and move this desk, had an interesting recent opportunity worked out, but it didn't so I didn't. But now I've cleaned up anyway, heh.)
Maybe the old UPS just needs a new battery, but that wasn't enough less money and hassle for me to explore. I don't remember how old it is. If you're local and you want it, let me know.
