Due to a power-failure outwith the control of the Computer Lab, McVax and its chums were off the ether from around 22:00 on Friday the 26th October until around 10:30 on Monday the 29th. As far as we know, nothing was lost, and the backlog through seismo, decvax and philabs has mostly been cleared. But sorry if the delays inconvenienced anyone. We are now installing a backup power system consisting of fifteen Dutch mathematicians on bicycles, five dynamos per phase, they may as well do something useful while pondering Fermat's Last Theorem.
