Hello all,
    Due to a) my idiocy and b) disk failure of /dev/hda on hex's head 
node, hex, and therefore the Pixar/Maya license server, will be down for 
the weekend. It should be back up and running Monday morning. My 
apologies - I left as hex was booting, and I assume that it failed fsck.
    Don't let "disk failure" scare you - everything on hex was doubly 
backed up, so nothing was lost.
    fly is up and running with all 61 CPU's, if anybody had anything 
non-Pixar-related to compute over the weekend....
    Again, my sincerest apologies, and I will do my best to make sure 
nothing like this happens again in the future.
    have a great weekend and congrats to all who are graduating!
    -Josiah
