good luck (as if U needed that)

:-)

I thought somebody might want to know that is 3-3:30 est time (i think...)

It's 4:00-4:30 EDT.

I know, I'm lazy, but is that a.m. or p.m.?

p.m.

pm I believe...

not much of a problem here in Central Time... its what? 2-2:30pm... school isnt even out for most of the place (at least for those of us in high school)

No, its 3:00-3:30 pm Central Time.

Thanks, I'll probably be back from school by then, get out at about 1:30, and I'm in MDT. I'll try and see if it's up. If not, oh well, I'll just try again later.

Ah well, my math is a bit rusty ;-)

Thats still early though, and I'm all for anything
to make the network better -- goodluck Ti-Calc staff.

30 minutes?! you might as well just kill...oh well, no biggie.

Well, we hope to make it faster. Hopefully, it will not be more than a couple of minutes. However, one should never count on things not to go wrong - usually something does.

Just out of curiousity, what's wrong with the power supply?

First of all, the replacement is now complete, and the total downtime was well under 30 minutes.
Second, the reason we replaced the power supply was this. It was the last step in isolating all the power supplies to central SolNET equipment (including the ticalc.org server) from the rest of the power in the building. This will get us away from the people messing around in the electrical system, and making mistakes all the time.
We now have a completely own power supply coming in, and we are looking at the possibility of a diesel generator to handle longer power failures.

Good Luck! I own and maintain a web server, i understand the hard work that goes into mantaining and financing one! Hope all goes well for you.
Do you use APC UPS's?

No, we use Fiskars. In the central router/switch room, we have a stack of 3 small (600VA) UPSes, all of them older model Fiskars.
