I'm asked by Damian to let readers know of outages at the Geek. He writes:
Because of upgrades PooterGeek will be down today (07Feb06) until noon and possibly until 16:00, and there are likely to be further outages between now and Thursday (09Feb06). While the work is going on I'll try to post daily, but I can't make any promises. I also recommend that people writing long comments make a back-up copy of their words before they hit 'Submit'.
