Sorry to bug this list, but this situation is quiet damaging to us(*), and I know there are folks on this list who can fix the problem in no time. (*)us being [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Cascade Canoe Club). We have sent out invitations to a couple hundred people for an upcoming event with references to our webpage hosted at EFN.
But what they see instead is : """ You step in the stream, but the water has moved on. This page is not here. """ INSTEAD IT SHOULD MENTION THAT THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVER PROBLEM, then people would come back, but now our organiztion looks pretty silly instead. Everybody understands that server problems and maintenance are unavoidable but the original warning (**) did not mention web outage: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 23:51:13 -0800 (PST) Planned Maintenance While EFN Moves Equipment On Sunday, January 25th, EFN system administrators will be moving some of our equipment out of our old machine room. Work will start about 06:00 and will continue until we have the moved equipment up and running at its new location. We hope to have things running by noon. During the outage EFN hosted services like email will not be available; dialup Internet service and DSL should continue to be available. Due to the changes in our service infrastructure this move will require, EFN dialup shell service will be unavailable for some time after the move is completed. While it is our intention to restore dialup shell when we can, we will not have the capability to deliver it, and we do not know when we will be able to do it again. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you for supporting community networking! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Horst _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
