Whither The Inn at the End of the World?

We have some folks coming out in a couple of hours to do some up-grades on the vast communication system that brings The Inn to the world. After the past couple of months, I have no confidence at all that this bit of 21st century progress won't plunge us into a new cyber dark age. [So why am I doing it? Because I am fed to the teeth with Earthlink. Do you know they billed me again for a service they cancelled on me two months ago? But that's a tirade for another post.]

We should be back on line and opining away by tonight 6:00 p.m. PST. That's Wednesday 0200 GMT. But who knows? If you never see The Inn again, you'll know what happened.
