Sorry for the outage Entry id: outage-20010613

Sorry for the outage, folks. I took the site down because I had to do a kernel recompile related to getting a multi-modem card and some advanced network routing up and happening. Silly me forgot to restart Zope afterwards. (I'm still starting it manually, you see.) In particular, my apologies to the loyal reader who uses the Junkbuster proxy. :-)

On the plus side, everything is going smoothly so far, and I may yet meet my self-imposed end of June deadline for the server cut-over. You'll know when it happens: this site will appear on www.nuters.org instead of the obscure port on famous.nutters.org. (You never know — I might leave the obscure port open, given that it's a faster connection. Hmmm.)
