[Nfb-web] Off to China

[David Andrews]

Hi Folks:

I am sending this message to those of you who either moderate a list 
or lists on nfbnet.org, or who have web sites hosted on our 
server.  I am also copying the nfb-web list, to make sure I haven't 
missed anyone.

I am off to China in a couple hours, and will be gone for about a 
week -- returning next Monday afternoon.  I am advising a Chinese 
charity on starting a nationwide radio reading service for the blind 
-- they are talking about serving 3 million blind people.  It is a 
very interesting opportunity, and will probably mean several 
trips.  Barbara Pierce has asked me to write something for Monitor.

Anyway, the lists have been pretty quiet lately, and the server has 
been working better, and the connection has been ok.  Let's keep our 
fingers crossed.

I have asked Mike Freeman and Steve Jacobson to keep an eye on 
things, as they used to do, but am not making a big formal turning 
over of power to them.  It doesn't seem necessary.  If you have a 
problem you can write them at steve.jacobson at visi.com or k7uij at panix.com

I will have a computer with me, and am told there will be Internet 
connectivity.  We shall see how much time I have etc.

For you web site people, if you need something major done, you will 
have to wait until next week -- sorry.  If there is a problem I will 
also have my cell phone 612-730-7931 and and I am told it should work 
-- although I have gotten conflicting information.

If necessary, I can arrange to have server rebooted, or DSL modem reset.

That about does it -- see you all ext week.

Dave
