Status:
I have nameservice and the mail exchanger partially running. I'm merging in some software now and once that's done, I'll verify that your email is being queued for delivery. I've copied your home directories to the new shank.

I convinced my host to set up a compile farm for me so software installation will go much faster. Now using a 3GHz Xeon, 2.4GHz P4 and a 1.2GHz/512K P3 to compile! yay

Action:
I'm probably going to have to leave it in this state until I get home tonight about 23:45 ET. The apache webserver needs to be rebuilt with all the options (mysql, php, perl, etc.) along with a few more things. I'm going to let it chew on that while I'm at work. I should be able to get it so you can check your mail Thursday morning.

Status:
The software installation ran all night and is still running. It's building the last package right now.

Action:
First task is to migrate nameservice, then set up buttons as backup mx, then start migrating accounts.

Status:
Ok, so shank's image is so hosed it won't even boot any more. Your data is still safe! Your email.. is probably bouncing right now.

Action:
We are starting shank over with a new image. As I write this, I'm installing all the software shank needs to operate your sites. Once that is complete, I'll start moving your accounts over and bringing them up on this new image one-by-one. This is just like moving to a new server.

Also, I'm setting up "buttons" to be a backup MX. This will allow your email to sit on another server until shank comes back up, then it will be delivered properly.
