Conference waylay::singles_chat

	My "personal cluster" (now 3 nodes) will be going through a bit of
reconfiguration in the near future, possibly today.  WAYLAY will remain up
through it, but because of the way the cluster is set up, WAYLAY may hang
for short periods of time.

	The management regrets any inconvenience this might cause, but I do
have a real job... ;-)

Hi Doug,

	I work for Workstation engineering in PKO. If you ever
have some hardware needs I may be able to help with hardware,
no promises though.

	WAYLAY will reboot sometime today, probably after lunch.  Please be
patient -- It's a little slow to reboot.

						--Doug

	The deed has been done.

    	Doug thanks for taking such good care of us!
    
    *hugs*

	WAYLAY halted for no reason I could determine this morning.
It actually looked like someone was looking for me an hit ^P at the
keyboard, but I really can't tell.  In any event, we've rebooted
and I'm not expecting any more trouble.

	In order to make sure this conference gets backed up on a semi-
regular basis, I kick off all the connections and compress the conference so
that when my automated backup job runs at midnight, it picks up the older
version.


	I did this last night around 7:30 and had to kick off a lot of folks,
most of whom I suspect were just "dangling links."  If you could remember to
close the conference at the end of the day, we might get better backup
coverage.

    	Thanks for doing such a good job Doug...
    
    	Guess those danglers are just addicted to the fun here :-)

    For some reason last night, the offices on the 4th floor were
    unreachable from most of the rest of the world.  The power stayed up,
    but my guess is we lost a router somewhere.  In any event, we seem to
    be back so it shouldn't remain this quiet...

	WAYLAY has "sprung ahead", just a bit belated...

	My personal cluster has expanded to 4 nodes:


View of Cluster from system ID 19872  node: WAYLAY                              
                              10-APR-1997 17:49:01

                  SYSTEMS                  MEMBERS 

  NODE          HW_TYPE        SOFTWARE   STATUS 

 WAYLAY  VAXstation 4000-60    VMS V7.1  MEMBER  
 DOUGG   DEC 3000 Model 400    VMS V7.1  MEMBER  
 WIMRAM  AlphaStation 255/300  VMS V7.1  MEMBER  
 ANYWAY  DEC 2000 Model 300    VMS V7.1  MEMBER  


	Of course, those of you in the know will note that the Jensen will
be dragging the rest of the cluster down (Actually, it's probably a bit
faster than WAYLAY but Alphas don't run as well on 32 meg.)

	The major reason to post this note is to gloat - err, no, really,
it's to say that in the near future DOUGG and ANYWAY will be upgrading to
mysterious future versions of the OS so I can crash them with my nefarious
project.  This may cause "hiccups" while accessing the conference.  Please
be patient.

	Sorry for the unxepected downtime.  I got a little overenthusiatic
typing REBOOT in a window before I noticed that the WAYLAY window had focus
instead of the DOUGG window I thought I was using...

	Unplanned reboot this afternoon - I moved hardware around in my
office and it looks like WAYLAY didn't like being moved.  I had a whole
bunch of stuck network processes and any attempt to touch the user disk
just hung.
