Sorry guys for the downtime this morning. I had the electrician in here this morning. Yee Haa. Finally got the power I need. Would have giving you warning that this was gonna happen, but I didn't know myself. No more fires here. I should have the midis back tomorrow too. Later.

You're lucky it was Tuesday and the Electrician, not Monday and The Gasman who "Cometh". I guess you have a few more tradesmen to visit yet. All the best - Sam

GOOD! as an electrician's son I have a heartfelt dis-like and healthy fear of inadaquate wiring.

This is reassuring. Since hearing about the wiring, every time we've had the Mudcat going down recently, I've had a bit of a worry the place has burnt down.

Max-

Glad to see Mudcat back up! Yes, I still owe you a $50 donation.

And, Sam, "The Gasman Cometh" reminds me of about 100 other fine trade songs.;~)

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, back in Maine

Good on you, Max ! Now that you've solved this problem, will you have a chance to post the pics of your NE sojourn?

Thanks -- Tom

Max...how's the fried server doing? You said you 'might' be able to get it working again...or are we still on the little back-up?

Max .... I never seem to find enough words to say an adequate THANK-YOU for the time you spend keeping us happy.

Believe me ... it is appreciated.

Electrician is still there. For a 2nd day. All is going well though. He said that the wiring in the basement was reversed polarity. Whatever, it's fixed now. And I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom now too.

No Bill, the server is still fried. I can't get her to even boot. I will have to take some extreme measures. That bothers me 'cause it's a RAID setup, and I am worried that I might loose some data. Sure would be nice to have a backup drive, but they're as expensive as a whole computer. Pene and I have been working on a simpler version of the Mudcat and Mudcat Database to make it a lot easier to work with when we have a hardware failure. I'll take another crack at Tao tonight to try to get the Midis back.

"...the wiring in the basement was reversed polarity..."

That's Star Trek talk. Reversing polarity always seems to have a dramatic effect when you're up against the Borg!

So, Max, now that you don't have to stand over our servers with a fire extinguisher, will you be able to go to the Getaway?

hmmm...looks like we need a fund drive for a new/backup server or drive. What are we looking at...$1000? $2000?..less?, more?...

calendars & cookbooks won't do it all, I suspect.
