[CIMC-work] Server status (coming close)

[Chris Kaihatsu]

Ian, all,

Cool, cool -- I'm glad to hear that our news site will have a new home.

On the image side of things, I'm concerned about the flattened graphic on
the top-right side. It's utterly distorted as a result, with what now
appears to be an impaled dove hoisted on high and a lizard of some sort
stalking southward on Michigan Ave.... (I know, I know, "Lay off the
psychedelics, Chris!")(joke!) But really, it doesn't look recognizable for
what it should be....


Chris
