News and Notes

Unfortunately no April's Fools joke here as the IEM website was very degraded between about 2 and 7 PM on 1 April 2026. A back-end file server bricked itself, the replacement hardware had two memory stick failures and then refused to properly boot, the third replacement hardware attempt wouldn't find its boot drives, then yours truly (daryl) lost his mind and messed all kinds of things up. Not a good day. There was no data loss from this adventure somehow, so will try to avoid such horrors in the future. Thanks for your patience.
