Power Outage

Our power went out for an hour or so tonight. Right in the middle of watching Cannonball! (not to be confused with The Cannonball Run) on the DVR! After they restored power we were going around the house setting clocks, powering up computers, and powering down things like the washer and dryer, only the dryer wouldn't turn off and it's showing 8.8. on the display. A quick google shows some discussions about it and some possible fixes. I'll leave it unplugged overnight and see if that does it. If not, I get to open 'er up and run some diagnostics. Hopefully it ain't a fried board.

Turns out our internet was also out after power was restored, but of course I spent 20 minutes restarting the cable modem and routers and AirPorts and rerouting cables to bypass components and all that shit before I called them and found out it was their end. Arg.
