from the thanks-guys dept.

So, just a follow up. According to matt, we got around $2,000 USD right now in the PBC overnight, and there are still more payments processing. I paid the Linode bill this morning. So, funding problem: solved. We should be set for the foreseeable future as far as money goes!

Seriously guys, you stepped up, and I am thankful. Since I'm here, a quick update on what's going on: Right now, we're mostly just waiting for paperwork to go through as far as handing the site to a newly-created, not-for-profit. It's slow work and I'm not directly involved, but I've seen that there has been a fair number of articles on the subject so I'm pretty happy that everyone is aware of what's going on.

I could write more, but I think I'm going to keep this short and sweet for now. Once I have a final total, I'll post it.

    My dad was an electrical lineman. He said most wintertime outages are from squirrels crawling inside transformers to get warm and electrocute themselves.

    Could be, but all the squirrels in the neighborhood seem to be in my back yard this year. It was a clear sunny morning when the power went out and the squirrels were running all around the yard.

    We used to have a hawk and recently I've seen another, so we may be on the cusp of a small rodent population crash.
