Ok, not much status to share but I don't want to keep you guys in the dark.
* I'm still working on this.
* Timing of the machine issue came at one of the worst possible times
overall
** Our helper-release-engineer is in charge of a massive office colo
move for his paid-job and can't really devote any time this/last week week.
** I was traveling for work last week
** I was sick for a few days the week before
** I had a close family member pass away today, and was on her way the
past few days.
* We have to juggle all this fixup time for our *free* time since we all
have day jobs.
It pains us to have this type of delay in getting any new version (beta
or otherwise) out to you, but I will send more information along when we
have things to share about progress.
I can identify, don't be surprised to find ambition drops to zero around
birthdays and holidays for several years.
On the useful side, may I say that if the server ran in a virtual machine your
issues would be far fewer. I'm running a web server on a VM now, which was on
bare iron and up for seven years prior to a few days ago. Rather than move the
web sites to a new server, I was able to move the server image in about ten
minutes, although performance is down a touch. Since you're rebuilding anyway,
you might consider that. Snapshots make backup easy.
Sorry for your loss, HTH.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
