LlamaServer 'sploded (though things will be okay)
Something funny happened to the LlamaServer on Monday, while I was on holiday. I don't know what. In any case, I can't turn it on now. The fans start going, but it never gets as far as showing anything on screen.
The good news is that I've no reason to think that the hard disk has died - it doesn't get as far as using that. Even if it has died, which I think is unlikely, all the important files (including all game ftherlnd files and all the code) are backed up elsewhere. Thank goodness.
I will try to set up a temporary solution in the next day or so, using my work computer. Then I'll set about working out what hardware I need to replace.
So, overall, I think all the games should be able to continue fine, and probably the majority of the downtime has already happened. But maybe there will be more, especially if for example the IT guy at my department stamps down on my using my work computer as a temporary solution.
Many apologies, all, for the inconvenience.
