Mornington Crescent on the front cover of The Times today (somewhat gratuitously).

Where is MCiOS?? Or rather, where are all the games? The archive is also empty. I tried to create a new game and got Giant Ant Error. Is it time to panic??

It was there before 9.00AM this morning then it suddenly disappeared in the middle of my move! I guess its been hacked again.

Bloody hell! If anyone's got Dan's e-mail, give him a shout, quick!

It has rather shrunk.. I hope the games haven't been lost!

I've sent Dan a message about it already. 9:30 am in London is 2:30 am in Portland though, so I don't suppose he's up and about.

Yes, the middle of the night problem. We'll just have to wait. Hope it's ok...

[Tuj] Did you guess the ruleset?

[Kim] No, do tell ;)

Ah. Very odd. I'll take a look.

Well done, Dan - no idea what you did, but you fixed it! :-)

It may be a serious problem. Stay tuned.

It's not behaving very well. I've asked the crew at the facility to cycle the power. I have last night's nightly backup here -- it's automatically fetched on a schedule, so nothing will be lost. But as I say, there may be a hardware problem so things might be iffy for a while.

Okay, it's going to be out of service for a while, as in multiple days, I think. I'm going to need to reconfigure my mail to point somewhere else, too. Very annoying.

(thank you, rab, for allowing me to use your server as a bulletin board.)

[Dan] Nae worries. As you know, I've hardware problems of my own.

BTW if anyone wants to email me -- though I'll be pointing my usual email at another server within a day or so -- there's always my last name at gmail dot com. Normally I don't check it very often but I'm using it now.
