Hi Folks, As some of you no doubt noticed, the server (millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov) running this mailing list as well as the ifeffit web pages and xafs.org has been down for much of the past month. There was a hard-disk failure that brought this server down on Dec 21. I was out of town at the time, and didn't return until this week. FWIW, I know that Bruce Ravel was also away and unable to answer questions. It's possible the hard disk was telling us we all needed a break over the holidays. If you're getting this message, the mailing list is back up, and should be working now. Any messages you may have posted since Dec 21 are probably lost, and you may want to re-ask them. The ifeffit web site and xafs.org are also back up now. The Atoms web page is not yet functioning, but I'm working on that. If you notice any problems or have any questions, feel free to send me an email either on this list or in private. --Matt Newville <newville at cars.uchicago.edu>
