I've just learned that sometime in the last week, while its been sitting idle, webigail, our web/mail server has developed a fatal hard error on one of its twin drives. The error is sufficiently bad that the machine no longer even boots. I know its a recent event because the thing successfully booted when we got back from the trip. (It had failed to boot because we not only had a power failure, but webigail somehow forgot the contents of its supposedly non-volatile RAM).

There are twin raid disks in the machine and a backup was made not long before we headed off to Denmark, but I did NOT need this kind of news to add to my stress levels...

Actually, the mail bounced because my DSL line is acting up and Bell is taking its sweet time figuring out why. So, even if my mail server was alive, I couldn't get mail!

In the meantime, you can send mail to me at: swestrup -AT- gmail -DOT- com.]

At least that still works.
