I've spent a few hours this afternoon doing some major updates to the software that runs the web site. I think that I've got everything running as it was before but if you happen to notice something that doesn't seem to be working as it was before please let me know in a private message to "Bob Arnold".

Yes, the rooms are open again. I had to order a new power supply for the server that hosts the rooms. It arrived today and was installed in the server a litle while ago. Sorry about the delay. I'm working now on a backup set of rooms should this ever happen again.

Well, it looks like we're set for a repeat of yesterday's thunderstorms here in upstate NY. There's little chance of a tornado again but the probability for hail and hugh winds are very good today. Once again, if the power does go out as it did gor a while late last night, I'll try to have things except for the BCTS/Stardust chat rooms back online as quickly as possible after the power is restored.

The chat rooms should be available again some time during the day on Saturday.

Hello everyone,

UPDATE - 11:50 PM 5/26/2011 - Around 9:20 PM EST a tree branch failed in the high wind and took out the power line. It came back on a litle after 11:15 PM. Ithink that most things are back now however the CHAT ROOMS ARE STILL OFF-LINE and will be until Friday morning some time after 10 AM if the weather co-operates so I can diagnose problems with the machine.

HI everyone,

I just got a notice from my Internet connection provider that the T1 line may be down on May 27th between midnight and 6 AM to allow for some work on the router that powers my T1 line. The outage should be a short one and I'll let everyone know if that day and time changes.
