Windows updates
Patch Tuesday has passed – and so I did the updates tonight. One of them caused the real-time virusS\scanner to drop dead. Solution: Run the control program, check for updates (that it usually dows automatically) and install them. Scanned the system, nothing wrong.
Probably one of the .Net updates. These cause havoc sometimes, customers have run into these issues as well….
Planned power outage
In our neighbourhood, there is some demolition and building going on, and that also involves some maintenance to the power grid in the area. So a power outage is planned to happen on 28=Oct-2014, between 8:0 and 10:30. I could hire a UPS for that time, or an aggregate, but that is way too expensive.
So I will power off my gear before leaving for work, at about 7:0, and bring it back on when I return, about 12 hours later. Hopefully, my ISP will store incoming mail for that time so it will be retrieved at the end of the day.
