In case anyone is interested:

AdaIC.org was failing because a PHP update borked the Wordpress "theme" that 
it uses. We had to pay the hosting company to figure out the problem; they 
rolled back the PHP and all seems well. This is the bane of using "standard" 
tools for webhosting; they make it easier to create posts, but also are much 
more attackable and thus get updated and break a lot more often. (I prefered 
the old mostly Ada+Html version, but that wasn't my choice.)

Ada-Auth.Org was down because a water main broke near my office building and 
flooded the entire lower level with 14" of muddy water. (This of course 
shorted out most of the electrical things; luckily all of the computers 
themselves were high enough to escape damage.) All of the tenants had to 
move out immediately (the building had to be gutted to eliminate mold and 
rot problems). I ended up moving all of the computers to my living room, and 
had to get the business internet and phone moved as well. (That was a major 
mess, still not quite cleaned up.) Everything appears to be working properly 
now.

Today is the first time I've managed to find time to look at comp.lang.ada 
since mid September. Someday I might catch up again, but probably not fully 
until next year.

                   Randy.
