After making all the noise about turning off our power for 8 hours, the electric company didn’t do it.<\/p>\n

However, because they were supposed to kill the power, we sat up here with our technology off anyway.<\/p>\n

Until about noon, then I said, “screw it” and brought the minimum systems back online. By 4PM I brought the rest of the systems back online.  <\/p>\n

They went to the expense of hanging door cards throughout the neighborhood, and then called us the night before, you’d think they were serious about it.<\/p>\n

This begs the question; are they going to arbitrarily turn off the power on Monday, or Tuesday and call it all the same? <\/p>\n

I find myself looking at WiFi Router hotness.  As much as I like the Apple Time Capsule, it’s five years old. I’m wondering if its time to buy an updated machine and see if I can get better range. This would also allow me the flexibility to turn off the backup drives and still have internet access in situations where the power gets a little dicy. <\/p>\n

$200 bucks for a new powerful WiFi router? Or $400 for a new Time Capsule, with the same WiFi technology and 3TB of storage? Decisions, decisions. <\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll buy a WiFi only router and test it out for fourteen days. If its good, I’ll keep it if Its bad I’ll return it and wait for the next generation Time Capsule.<\/p>\n

Perhaps, I’ll just leave well enough alone, and not spend any money.<\/p>\n
