dw_maintenanceHi all!
I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.
Thank you!

Valentines Meet and Greet
ysabetwordsmith posting in allbingoI've been participating in snowflake_challenge, where lots of folks want to see more activity on Dreamwidth.
