server status page

I'm going to most likely buy a server sometime in the next few days. When I throw it in the rack, I'll make sure to take lots of baby pictures.

The bad news is that even if I were to order today, I won't get it until the 16th. I probably won't order until next week, so it probably won't arrive until late January. After that, I still have to configure it and go down to Houston on a free weekend and do all the copying/file transferring.

Thanks for your patience! All of this bad stuff goes away soon. Really.

Just knowing that the sun will peek out from behind the clouds soon is good enough for me :) Having a server update page is pretty cool, too... especially now that I've sworn off cels.org (that's a story for another day).
Honestly, I think you should be commended for the time and effort you put into this non-commercial project. Three cheers for the grand poobah! (And all of the hamsters that keep the sick server running, too)
