    The black wire is the hot "feed". It might have a wire nut bundle in the box too.
    The red wire is the "switched hot" that goes to all of the connected outlets in a daisy chain fashion.

    The white common wire is just bridged through at or near the box with no actual connection there.

    You aren't the first or last to do this. I put a computer running a media center on a switched outlet by mistake. Spent a bit of time figuring out why that didn't work. Mark the outlets as "switched" with a label maker or colored sticker.
