Hi All.

It is 5:45am in Toronto, and the lights are mostly back on here, but not in many other places.

Thanks for your continued patience with us as we get our servers sorted out, our hard drives checked for integrity and the whole thing turned back on.

If you want to find out what happened, check the news feeds, but we were taken down by the blackout sweeping across the northeast US and Canada. Noone really knows why yet, but it is probably an electrical grid failure.

We will post to this thread on our progress at getting the system back on-line. In the meanwhile I suggest.

1) Reset your configuratinons to buffer work (see the readme.txt file).

2) Monitor this thread for an "all's clear" message then set it back on to upload.

It will take us some time, but I will make sure that we post a status report on this thread by at least noon today if we aren't back up by then.
