just don't put the generator indoors! It never ceases to amaze me how many folks kill themselves with generators and bar-b-que grills indoors.

We get the occasional ice storm outage here. Ran on generator power for 6 days a few years back. It really is a drag, so good luck to you.

By the way, you aren't running a desktop computer on a generator are you? It's my understanding that the difference in the current will fry your chips. Charging a laptop battery is OK, however.
