Apparently the sunspot cycle is heading for a 200 year high, and
power glitches are likely to be common for the next few months.

At about 3AM Sat morning we logged a disc error (very rare on our
bullet-proof Hewlett-Packard hardware) which may be related.  
Incidentally, we tap into UTCS' insulated/isolated power.

If you don't have a UPS, it might be a great time to get one.
