White Shop: Viking Jewelry Key to the gate of heaven
Key to the gate of heaven. Religious symbol hung by the Vikings as an amulet around the neck. It was thought to make it possible for the Vikings to open the gate of heaven themselves.
Just a note: I had some bad luck yesterday. We had rolling blackout and when I switched on my solar power, I got errors on my inverter. I fiddled and faddled around and to my horror, my Inverter burned out. Luckily it was a cheap Chinese inverter, so I’ll replace it. By cheap I mean its much cheaper than one that comes from the West. Even so, its not enjoyable losing it.
I later discovered that one of my UPS (uninterruptible power supplies), was in a very bad state and actually not functioning properly. I’m quite convinced that the damaged UPS may have resulted in the inverter burning out.
So I found myself running for 3 hours on the generator – which I try to avoid.
My internet connection, my Plan B, is running ok. But I have to be careful. I’m chewing up more data than I had expected to.
But I am online. I’m just very annoyed at losing my inverter. I’m rushing to the Chinese shop today to get a new one.
However, this is also part and parcel of learning how to run things and fixing things. I had wanted to have first hand, hands-on experience with dealing with these things. In the long run its cheaper than paying other people. Otherwise solar would be totally unaffordable for me.
