I haven't spoken to them, but I don't think there were any fires
around them - the Gippsland fires were about 40km to their east. But
I'm sure they're a bit nervous - it's tinder dry everywhere, and
they're on a hill.


We made it back safely and without any drama (or even jet-lag!), just  
in time to experience the record temperature. We are (relatively) safe  
where we are and we are not surrounded by trees. The scale of the  
devastation caused by the fires is terrible.


It will be interesting to see what the Royal Commission set up to  
investigate the fires will say about the advice given to people as to  
whether to fight the fire or flee, and recommendations about fuel  
reduction burn-offs. I have been hearing an awful lot of greenie  
bashing around here because of their perceived opposition to burning- 
off and clearing trees around dwellings.

[Brin-l] Admin page for Brin-L

I found that the admin page for Brin-L, where you can make changes to your
subscription(s), customize, etc., is not where I thought it was.
Try here:

http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

And this, which should show all lists I'm hosting (brin-l is the only one
I've moved).

http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo

Looks like maybe adding the www at the beginning messes things up.  I'll
have to work on some subdomain names and redirects to make sure the
historical page addresses function.

But not until my network is fixed... too slow using the cell phone to do
this!  Or perhaps I'll head to the library...
