Recurring Problems On kclabor.org
Since early Friday morning July 4, there have been ongoing problems with the server hosting the kclabor.org website. This much downtime is unprecedented and I hope it will be fixed soon. I have no control over the situation. This blog, hosted by Google, is not affected. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and will post here when it appears a stable fix has been completed.
Solidarity,
