hi Charles,

Linguistics had a crucial server die over the weekend during a power
outage, and we're hoping to pay a student to come look at it for us ASAP
(it's a non-ITS-supported machine).  I've already emailed SCCS, SLUG, and
a few other student geek lists, but Amy (Marinello) Finkbiner suggested
you might be willing to forward the below to the CS job-opps list?  We're
operating on the "the more eyeballs that see this, the more likelihood
someone can come look at it before lunch" theory...

Thanks,
--Will

---------- Forwarded message ----------

There was a power outage/surge over the weekend which fried the
linguistics department's unix server.  It's an unofficial machine (ie, not
supported by ITS), so while Michael Rapp suggests without looking at it
that it's probably the motherboard (which was my and Sean's suspicion
also), we don't know for sure.  The machine is (was?) a basic Pentium
(it's penguin.pearson.swarthmore.edu, for anyone who knows it).

The short of it is, we can pay you to come in, give us a formal diagnosis,
and give us a prescription for the best/fastest route to having a server
up again ASAP.  (Students are using this machine for their theses.)
Ideally we'd like someone to stop by, say, before lunch today, and we'd
love to have the machine up by this afternoon.  We may be hoping for too
much, I don't know.

Email me if you can come look at it (so I can tell you if anyone's already
replied/stopped by), or you can just stop by Pearson 118 or 115 if you
happen to be in the neighborhood.

Thanks,
--Will
