We are doing some rearranging/upgrading of our servers at the Institute tomorrow (Thursday June 28th). This includes the machine I host my site on (quartz…upgrading from a G5 Apple XServe to a Power Mac in case you care). Hopefully by the end of the day all will be back to normal. Just hold your breath.
