Will GreX be affected by the spectacular display of Northern Lights seen last

I've upgrade backtalk on old-Grex to version 1.3.16.
This brings in many bug fixes and relatively few feature upgrades (most
of the new features are not Grex-compatible and are not enabled here).
Abalone changes substantially, now using style-sheets (albeit in a
somewhat limited way). However, with any luck, you shouldn't notice.
Main new feature is a very experimental RSS feed. This is at
http://grex.org/cgi-bin/backtalk/cinnamon/conf?conf=agora
This is almost entirely untested. All I can really say is that it looks
like valid RSS to me. I'll enter a garage item for further discussion
of the RSS interface.

If you've been using the previous announced RSS feed, the URL has now changed.
It is now:

I power-cycled the DSL modem because I couldn't get to grex. When I stopped
by, the WAN and LANR lights were blinking, the LANT light was out, and the
other lights were solid. When I turned the modem back on, and the PWR, TEST
and LINK lights were solid, the WAN, LANT and LANR lights all began blinking.
So we should be back on the air.

A Reminder:
Grex will be down most of the day on Saturday, 27 November 2004,
to back up its disks to tape.
I'll update
http://www.hvcn.org/info/grex/
as I progress.

The disk backup failed: every tape I tried, fresh from the wrapper, generated
"write" errors.
I apologise for the lost day.

You lost more of the day than we did. Thanks for all your work. Is the tape
drive perhaps going bad?

Personally I've seldom had good luck with tape. CDR disks work somewhat
better, but occasionally one does eventually go bad on me. I'm not sure about
DVD-R/RW, as they haven't been around long enough yet. My best results for
backing up have been with an extra hard drive, plugged in for the purpose then
removed when the backup is complete. CF cards are also good, though a bit
expensive per-megabyte at the moment. They're coming down, though.

External harddrives are now in the range of $1 a Gigabyte.
BTW new floppy disks are also near $1 for 1.44 Megabyte.
