Just a quick note to say that we have now redirected the demo server
addresses to the neurocommons server. If you notice any problems,
please send me or Jonathan a note. Work proceeds on setting up our
new mirrors - I'll send a note out when we switch over to them.
Regards,
Alan

Today we will pack up the demo machines that were loaned to us from
HP. so hcls1 and hcls2 will be down, for at least a little while.
We have been offered a server hosted by Amit Sheth's group and
should be able to set this up hopefully this week or next.
Another server will be purchased and set up at DERI courtesy of
Giovanni Tummarello. As that machine needs to be first ordered I
anticipate that it will be at a minimum 2 weeks before it is up.
In the interim, assuming that we can support the traffic, we will
redirect hcls1 and hcls2 to the neurocommons server, however there
will likely be a one or two day downtime while we do this.
If you are using the server and it will seriously inconvenience you
to have any downtime, please send me or Jonathan a note and we will
provide direct access to the neurocommons server.
There are other possibilities for hosting mirrors that are under
discussion - I'll report back if I have any news.
If you want to host a pubic or private local mirror of the server,
please contact either of us for help in doing so. On the task list
is to create a simple how-to and document this on the wiki. If you
are interested in helping write this up, which would include
verifying that those instructions work on a machine of your own,
please also let us know - that would be very helpful.
Another task that could be taken up by someone interested would be
to help analyze the logs we have to get some statistics about the
demo's use - number and kind of queries, hosts, errors etc. Please
let us know if you are interested in helping with that.
I've been a bit out of touch because of a combination of travel and
my laptop breaking down, so apologies if I haven't responded
adequately to emails. I will be catching up this week now that I am
back.
Finally thanks once again to Ray Hookway and Jeannine Crockford at
HP for arranging to get us these loaners, and to Amit Sheth and and
Giovanni Tummarello for their offers to make the demo continue to
be available to the public!
Regards,
Alan
