Jakesplace (from Jack Troughton)
Ok, here's the current status at the Jakesplace OS/2 News Feed.
Right now, posting privileges are back on for the comp.*, ecomstation.*, and ibm.* news hierarchies. I've also added some of the language specific OS/2 newsgroups: cz.comp.os2, de.comp.os.os2.*, fr.comp.os.os2, and it.comp.os.os2. These groups are also hooked up and functioning, so if you want to talk OS/2 in your language of choice, Jake's is the place. I'm going to be monitoring my ISP's news server for signs of life in some of the other language specific groups as well.
I still need to connect to openwatcom.org, mozilla.org, opera.no, Sundial System's server, and the Hursley IBM news server. However... that's going to happen tomorrow, as it's getting kind of late here.
Actually, recreating the jakesplace server has been an interesting exercise... I've taken the opportunity to make some improvements in how the feeds are handled. All in all, all I can say is... ain't REXX great?
One other note. Most everybody is going to have to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the newsgroups on the server. All the article numbers will have changed, and you'll probably find that your news readers are going to have a hard time of figuring out what's going on.
So, drop on by and check it out!

Jakesplace is down for a while (from Jack Troughton)
While I was trying to upgrade my servers over the weekend. I suffered
what's known as a 'catastrophic hardware failure'. In short, the heads
crashed on a crucial hard drive while I was in the middle of backing it
up.
I'm working on recreating the server setup, but it's going to take a few
days at least.
Please be patient while I get the system back up and running again; I will
announce here when all seems well.
Thanks for your patronage, and I look forward to having the news server
feed up again soon for all of you to enjoy!

Regards,
Jack
