The Back to the Roots server and the entire network block have been down for two days due to an electricity outage created by a rat. The rat was searching for a warm place and found the transformer responsible to supply the section of the university where back2roots.org is hosted and housed. The rat in fact found a warm place, even a hot one and ended up grilled.

For the resutling downtime we want to say sorry (and for the poor rat). This outage also covered winuae.net and all hosted sites. Anyway, since today the rat is cold and the server is warm again.

If, for whatever reason, any mail sent during these 2 days should remain unanswered, then please mail it again. thanks.

I guess I didn't realize that 'back 2 roots' was actually meaning that the host server was housed in a cellar under a tree. ;-)

Glad to hear things are back up though, and my condolences to the family of the rat. Hopefully they won't try to sue. Lawyers and rats are basically one in the same, you know... They might try to stick up for each other. :)
