Things should run faster and a act a bit more stable.

Down for almost three weeks...

The amount of frustration this "firewall" glitch has caused me is nothing compared to how badly I feel that the website was down for ... almost 3 weeks. It seemed like there was no end to the number of emails I sent to the IT department to get it back up and running, but in the end it took nothing less than several phone calls to the proper supervisors. To everyone who was inconvenienced by this downtime, I truly apologize. I made the mistake of assuming that a 2-minute setting change would take two minutes. Let my mistake be a lesson to anyone in the same position.

The Latin Lexicon Server is down until IT fixes the firewall...

I'm very sorry that the server is down at the moment. The university's IT department is dragging its feet on the firewall rules. We've put in a request for a rush! Hopefully it will come back online today.

Server Move

The server has been physically moved and so the website was down for some period of time (hopefully not too long!)

Apologies for that!

Down Time

This site was down for about 24 hours -- I apologize for the inconvenience, especially at the beginning of the semester. We had massive power surges due to an electrical storm and the university lost power for a time. All should be back to normal now.
