My and Priestess Heidi's 5 year anniversary is coming up next week. To celebrate, we are taking a ~10 day trip in which we'll be out-of-state. We'll be gone starting the afternoon of August 31, and we won't be back until the evening of Sept 10. I won't be as unavailable as I was during our previous trip, and will be able to occasionally check the forums and PMs on a semi-regular basis (so long as Heidi doesn't catch me doing it). But if power outages or major ISP problems arise during that time, the server could again go down for an extended period, which seems to be a given whenever I'm away from home, and the tools I have to administer the server, for more than a couple days.

So if everyone keeps your fingers crossed, maybe the server will stay up and available the entire time during this vacation.
