• Knowledge: welcome.
• Message format: Plain text preferred. *.tex or *.html if format is necessary. *.doc is inconvenient; *.rtf is better.
• Spam: The old GulfNet address was out of commission for six days in late September of 2003 because of a deluge of spam. More information is in the eaddress FAQ.

• The compressor for our -20 C walk-in freezer in July of 2004.
  Note the thick ice on the accumulator to the right of the compressor. After the accumulator was insulated and other insulation was improved, this picture was taken. Ice remained on the EPR, elbows, along the side of the suction line and around the base of the accumulator. Eventually the source of the water was found to be a few pinholes in a 1/2" copper water line. The copper corroded very slowly and finding the defect was difficult.

Web Pages

These pages originated in 2001, composed by the HTML module in Oberon running on a 80486-DX PC. Until ca. 2001 the Web server was Apache in Debian Woody running on a Sparcstation 2. From then until the Fall of 2015 the server was a Toshiba 4000CDS. During that time the EPROM in the Sparc was upgraded and Debian Woody was replaced with NetBSD 6. At 2015-01-27 the Sparc 2 with the Bozotic Web server was put on line again. In April of 2015 Web pages were shifted to easthope.ca.
