Same deal for the ectoguide. I'll have a server running in my own "basement" (really a closet in the dining room) for the foreseeable future. I, too, take comfort in knowing ecto is still here, even if i'm far from active and barely listen to music any more. I still love ecto music, i just find that singing barbershop now fills my daily music needs. ObNostalgia: Remember the glory days of #ecto on IRC, and the ecto contingent on TinyCWRU? Now i feel old. - -damon On 04 Feb, Jeff Wasilko wrote: > Itbs still mostly me I guess.
