Since the natives are getting restless...

Current status: Zope and Postgres are installed. I've spent some time
upgrading to a later version of Postgres to forestall similar upgrade
issues in the future. 

Zope is also talking to Postgres, which is good.

Currently I'm attempting to find the time in work on the Apache
installation, after which the machine will be technically usable.

However, I'm also keen on getting all of the backup and log rotation
scripts in place before I put the box out in the wild.

As far as guesstimates go: sometime this year, probably before the 4th
of July, and possibly this month.

I'm not trying to be facetious here, but please understand that I'm
under pressure at work and home, and my health ain't the greatest
lately. Steps are being taken to alleviate all three conditions, but the
going is slow and side projects suffer as a result.

In the meantime, I suggest reading some R.M. Stirling (if you like
history and fiction), or listening to Fanfare Ciocarlia if you like
brass instruments and quirky music. Alternatively, those less carpal
hirsute in the crowd might attempt some conversation with Princess Palm
and her Five Handmaidens as a possible substitute for the Politics
forum.
