Network upgrades (Friday Jun 21)

From: Russell McOrmond <russell@flora.ca>
Date: Sat, 22 Jun 2002 23:58:16 -0400 (EDT)

  The cleanup of the network went well, and downtime was minimal.  There 
was a brief outage (less than 2 minutes) while moving the network cabling 
for the database server, and another brief outage later in the afternoon 
during the final installation of the new firewall.


  For the curious, here is an ascii-art version of the current network at
134 Sparks St.
