hardware problems

Feh! Something happened to the server running my website and email, plus the OpenInteract website, wiki, and bug tracking system. "Something" might have been a hacker (although it was up-to-date), a hardware failure or, less likely, misconfiguration. ("Less likely" because from what I heard it's failing at a very, very early stage.)

So for now all my email is getting forwarded to gmail and I may just stick with that because running your own email system can be a PITA. (Although that means I won't get to play with qpsmtpd, hmm...) And the website is down until my peeps can move the server from the hosting facility to a DMZ and boot it up with knoppix (or some other livecd). That's the only problem with hosting 4 hours away: it's free, but when something goes wrong...
