<font face="FreeSerif">Apologies to any who found the Xiphos
repository missing last week. Its network placement is in part
based on the graciousness of cmu.edu, and early last week a
proxy-arp entry that kept its connection alive disappeared. I
have no explanation for why; the endpoint where this matters
hasn't been altered in anyway in a geological epoch. It hasn't
even been rebooted in 18 months.<br>
<br>
And of course the trouble started while I was out of the country,
so I couldn't address it until today. Of course. Murphy hates
me.<br>
<br>
All is back to normal.<br>
