[IRCServices] Personal status update

[Andrew Church]

     Just so people know why I'm not reading/responding to mail:
I suffered a double failure of hard disk and backup media about two weeks
ago, which took everything but my OS (and, fortunately, CVS repository)
with it.  Since I have Services under CVS on my local machine, the source
itself is saved, but all the auxiliary files--notes, scripts, whatnot--that
I use in development, along with all of my saved Services (and other) mail,
are poof.  I sent the drive off to a data recovery place, and with any luck
they should be able to get the data back (to the tune of $2000...), but the
recovery is "taking longer than expected", which is not encouraging.  I'm
holding off on dealing with mail until either I get the data back or I find
out that I can't get it back, to avoid complicating matters when I try to
restore everything.

     So, please be patient for a bit--I'll get back on track as soon as I
can.
