The cat perhaps? Check its paws or... (seen the Mythbusters episode about peeing on the railway tracks?)

Everybody .... How long since you used the Test button on your Safety switch ( RCD .. residual current device ) ?

We unintentionally test our RCD every other week when something in our house knocks the stupid switch out. :-(

After getting the RCD installed in our 25 year old house we ended up having to replace out Fridge, and our separate upright Freezer and change the time of the morning that our pool pump and electric booster on the solar come on to stop the blasted thing tripping when the dew point gets to a certain time or something. Our sparkie also ripped out all the wiring to the lights on our pergola and BBQ area (not in conduit) in his efforts to track down the problem. We still have something setting it off every few weeks or so.

Yes, I know, we'll be thankful for it when it saves someone's life, but it is not without hassle in our case. :-(

I've already had to replace the RAM in one of our Macs that was damaged after so many outages. I'm thinking of getting a UPS. Our expensive surge protecting powerboard isn't really a fantastic solution. Anyone have recommendations on UPS units?
