[Fot] This is better

So just like last sunday, I'm sitting at the computer for way too long.
But this time it is because things are working, not like last sunday
when I was beating my head against a virtual wall, cursing Qwest
and the horse they rode in on, etc.  Over 100 hours without a network
was starting to get to me.   That network outage came at ironic
time, April 11th, actually 1 am on the 12th to be more precise.

Those of you who have been around for a while might remember
that April 11th is the day that Team.Net became a registered domain
back in 1991.  So this was Team.Net's 16th birthday.  And I was
getting ready to send out a message to folks about the annual fund
drive.  I would have felt pretty bad if I had sent the message, and then
gotten booted off the air - "Send me money for something that doesn't
work"   It is nice to have things working again, and I'll manage to
get the donation drive underway in a day or two.  Good thing, because
it is starting to sound like I'm losing a bearing in one of the hard drives
on the main server, time for some upgrades.

But for now, I think I have all the FOT admin tasks done that required my
attention.  Maybe I can get some Triumph work done this week!
