[Leica] LUG archive finally working again

[Ted Grant]

Hi Brian,
Well me "old son" ;-) from the screen to our first hand shake in San
Francisco???? :-) My failing mind and body?? When we first shook hands at
the LUG gathering aboard the boat dinner many years ago it indeed, the "LUG
as the first and real one  has always been the most interesting "screen
location" since someone pointed it out to me while I was learning how to
make a computer work. 
And here was this magical E-photo site that not only assisted in my computer
skills! But my photo skills as well with the coolest "SALOON KEEPER" and
"CREW" making it work.
Thank you Brian for all the times in the past I should have.
Cheers,
Dr. Ted Grant O.C.

The LUG archive at http://leica-ussers.org/ stopped working at the stroke of

midnight on 1 Jan 2018.
I have only now managed to fix it.

I created the LUG and its online mechanisms when I was 41. Today I am 68.
I'm 
not quite as expert in debugging strange computer problems as I used to be.
I'm 
sorry it was offline for so long. I'm glad my brain still works well enough
that 
I was able to find and fix the problem.

Things that you do every day are easy to remember. Things that you do every
few 
years are harder to remember, and of course even if you write them down (I 
always do) the computing environment in which they are imbedded will have 
changed. But I've written this process down in much more detail than is
typical 
for me, so that if it happens again I won't have to do much thinking in
order to 
fix it, so it won't be offline for a month.
