Goodbye encyclopedia, hello local LLM

I come from a time when every household had an encyclopedia on the bookshelf.

Sometimes these were just a single bulky volume of facts and information, other times (in richer households) it could be a multi-volume, leather-bound array of books with a new addendum provided every year.

Many households went into debt to buy these encyclopedias because they were considered essential to ensuring that your kids had access to the educational resources that would help them attain good grades in school.

Names such as "The Encyclopedia Britanica", "Funk and Wagnalls" and the "World Book Encyclopedia" were often associated with such weighty tomes.

Many a fondue party in the 1970s saw arguments that were eventually resolved by resorting to the household's encyclopedia.

These were the pre-CDROM and pre-internet days and life was fun.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
