| We're back |
| 2016-06-30 |
| After a catastrophic hard drive crash, a new box, five days, and the remaining hair torn out of my head we're back. I'm sorry for all the downtime. We're current as of the 4:30 pm backup on the 25th. The new box isn't quite as nifty as the one that broke, but it's not broken, either. We've got twelve GB of memory instead of 16, an i5 processor instead of an i7. We'll see how well it works under load. I'm going to try and recover the data from the old box. The physical backup we're working from was current a couple months ago, so we're missing graphics and code tweaks and such. I do my best there. |

| #33 You can use this until we get the Officer's Club back and ready. It ain't much, but it will do until then. |

| #30 Gave a random try last night before bed to see if the 'Burg was up - and up it came. The look on my face, you'd think I saw Santa Claus. Thanks for the hard work Fred, et al. |

| #14 I'm afraid I'm not going to be able ti fix the o-club for a few days. Gloria's taking me off to New York for a weekend vacation so I can fret about all the bugs crawling out. |

| #13 *sigh of relief* I was so afraid it was my computer with the problem. There's so much going on and I missed y'all! |

| #11 I greatly missed the site, thank you for making it return. The insight and attitude of the regulars here lifts my spirit many times, and makes me laugh often. But most importantly, I find here threads and articles and ideas that the MSM, and even other conservative news and opinions sources miss or overlook. Thanks for making a valuable part of my morning ritual return. |

| #9 Great! ...and here's something in the tip jar. |

| #8 Thank you Fred. "Things happen" as Paddington would say and your continued diligence, even with setbacks on the path, is greatly appreciated. As a person who grew up in an earlier time, with only one rotary phone in the house (party-line to boot), no ZIP codes or direct-dial long distance, patience is learned and good results are valued. In an age where instant gratification is expected, I sometimes feel out of place. |

| #4 Okay. I think comments are fixed now. I'll now turn my back on it to see if it breaks. If not, I'll clean up the mess. |

| #3 Comments seem to be mighty touchy. I'll be keeping an eye on them. |
