Sorry it took so long.  Acroprops and covid-19 got in the way.  Now I've got an extra bedroom and a full 6yd skip that can't be collected!
Biopowered no longer resides on Linux PC at home (that was next to a now-removed wall) - that machine wouldn't boot up again afer being powered off.  But the drives were fine.  Now it's on a cheap vhost with some of my other sites.

Just like the pheonix it rises again, nice one Tony.

Did you see that Rob offered a server over on VOD?

Yes, which was a kind offer for sure.  For me it's not the cost of hosting (I already had this cheap shared host for other, simple sites) but the cost in time figuring out how to get it all correctly configured.  I'll see if I can get admin access for admin here on the vhost too, as I don't want to be solely responsible for backups/maintenance.

Back in okay.

Good to see the site back online, thanks.

Is there a way to have the wiki & tools pages hosted somewhere separate so that should we lose the site they will always be available?
