[HECnet] And we're down...

[Mark Wickens]

Very sorry to hear that Sampsa. 

Of course it is completely pointless to steal such items. Reminds me of
the time I had a pair of wings stolen off one model aircraft and the
body off another. You can only help feel sorry for such toerags for
having such pathetic lives to have to resort to such bollocks.

Mark.

Alas, the server is not merely down but has been stolen - as my   
flatmate went to powercycle it it was realised that there had been a   
burglary.

Oh well, shit happens.

just FYI, my part of HECnet is down - the box on which my bridge and
the GORVAX SIMH instance run has mysteriously gone offline and I'm
about 3 megameters away from power cycling it.

FWIW, CHARON (formerly CODA, formerly LEGATO) is also down and I am   
more
like 3.5 megameters (is that "Mm"?) away.   Sadly I won't be back   
until a
week from tomorrow and my flatmate (though not dizzy or otherwise)   
is with
me now.   We'll just have to tough it out until then.   Sorry.

Actually the machine is probably OK but it seems like my crappy DSL   
modem
has picked this moment to quit.   Probably it knows that I'm much too   
far
away to kick it...
