About a week ago I was plagued by an intermittent, loud beep at intervals of about 10 minutes. It seemed to be coming from somewhere near the kitchen, which ruled out one of the UPS boxes complaining about a dead battery. Besides, they all looked happy. So did the old portable phone, which runs down its battery rather quickly if left off its charger.

It stopped after a couple of days without my having had the patience to track it down.

Today I rediscovered the third source of beeps: the fire alarm down the hall from the kitchen, complaining about having been silenced. Guess how I discovered that.
