15Sep08 Just a few too many

Note to self: One should be aware of how many appliances and devices are running on one breaker. It’s probably not a good idea to have:

• 2 computers
• 3 monitors
• 2 sets of speakers
• a laptop
• a modem
• a router
• a hub
• a tv
• an XBOX 360
• a Playstation 2
• an alarm clock
• and a phone charger

all on one breaker. Though not all of these devices were turned on at once some still draw a small amount of power while plugged in, like the game consoles and the laptop. While no serious damage has occurred power did flicker once too many things were turned on. Too many being Michael’s computer and montors and my computer and monitor. The issues has been resolved, I believe, by running an extension cord from the bedroom (which is on a separate breaker) to provide power for the bulk of Michael’s computer related things.

Edit:How could I forget these?

• 2 light fixtures (1 is for the closet and is hardly on)
• a printer
• and a small lamp

So yes. Just a few too many things in the room.
