Hi folks:  Last night we had a city wide power outage which caused
much problems with many of our computers even though they were on
UPS's.  I have a hunch we got power spikes through auxiliary devices
which caused much trouble.

It unfortunately is bumpy or linux-speakup.org which looks to have
suffered the most damage.  I am not sure whether it is the video card
or the drive interface or a power regulator on the mother board yet.
All I know is the power comes on but there is no activity at all on
the computer.  Further investigations will have to wait until Monday.
So for now everything is pretty much dead in the water except for the
reflector.

I have moved the reflector and echo servers over to spanky so if you
are a speak freely user you will need to modify your script to point
to spanky.braille.uwo.ca instead of lwl.braille.uwo.ca.  You will also
have to change your speakfree_lwl_html variable to /lwl/speakup.html
for the lwl feature of speak freely.
 
  Kirk
