Hey all,
If anyone wants a more technical description of how you are now sending
and receiving your mail and why, I would love to let you know why your
email headers now include (mail.electric-pickle.net [66.29.58.223]). 

Also, we might want to set up an irc meeting (anyone else know
chambana.net is running an irc server on port 6667 where i will be
permanently lurking in #usr) or something sometime with anyone
interested in regard to how we want to utilize the now 5 servers in the
IMC data center (can I call it that yet :).  This would also be a call
out to any would be want to be unix/systems admins who want ot hone
their skills with various unix like (linux, openbsd, freebsd, netbsd,
osx) and windows systems that are used at the IMC and its groups.
