I built a new server and set it up with 18.04 LTS which is still in beta but it works better than 17.10 or 16.04 LTS which are stable.  So our network is back operational.  There still may be some shell servers not properly sync’d.  If you encounter a problem accessing your home directory please let me know BUT be sure to tell me which server you are on.

     My cat, Monster, did not survive.  He had a stroke today which left half his body paralyzed, then after sleeping about 15 minutes had a very violent nasty grand mal seizure from which he never regained consciousness.  I took him to a vet to have him euthanized as I did not want to have him wake up again with half his body paralyzed or go through another massive seizer like that, and his breath was becoming increasingly shallow but by the time I got to the vet he was already dead.

Bye Bye Monster and Thank you for the wonderful time we shared.
