Great to hear you're OK, and back home - hope the lull in the fires that we've read about is a sign that the worst is over, and rebuilding can begin for those who have that sad task.

I've managed to get Minkata back up and running -- feel free to visit.

I'm installing Windows Updates on the Windows build VM now, when that is finished the Jenkins build system will be operational.

I think that finishes all the parts of the Foundry that need to be started. Thanks all for the continued support. What a wonderful community to be a part of.

I'll leave you with with one more image depicting the situation tuesday evening.

Heya rarified, great to see and meet you here ... /hugs rarified ... :D

Yeah, what they're covering over the news is absolutely catastrophic, so many people have lost their
homes, some died already even ... Take good care of yourself, rarified, and we'll all go on praying and
sending the best of energies to you and your surroundings as well as the whole of Colorado and not to
forget the people around Florida ... I'm so glad, nothing more worse happened to you, rarified and
yes, I've looked on the MOUL forums where my signature is again indicating the Minkata shard as
running ... Wait a moment, I'll quickly login to see for myself ... Ommmmm .... lol ... and I'm in ...
Yeah!!! And Treehugger, resp, Syringia is online as well ... /cheer ... :P

Thanks so much for updating us of your and the general situation, rarified ... See you soon again ... /wave ... :)

yay, many thanks, rarified, with so many other things to do, you still got Minkata back up for us - I had to have a quick visit to Shroomie and the quabs just because now I could! :D

sorry to miss seeing you there, janaba!

Wow. Very dramatic, even without the music. Worse if you were there. It's an awful beauty sometimes when you know that what looks like fireflys in the night are the time-lapsed burning homes of families.

I couldn't figure out why there were geosynchronous stars, so I looked through the comments figuring someone would complain. Sure enough: "What you're seeing are hot pixels in the camera sensor. They're more obvious in long exposures, such as when Steve switches to 30 second exposures." So there ya go.

Welcome home!
