Shawna Headrick passed away unexpectedly on Monday 9/24/18. Shawna was a beautiful soul with a generous heart, who was taken way too soon. * Baermer - 04 September 2018. This was shocking news and unexpected. *Baermer was a beloved bard and friend to so many in the Xenaverse. * Pany LL - 17 June 2018. Pany was a beloved friend to many in the Xenaverse passed away on Sunday from brain cancer. I first met Pany online and later at a Xena convention and she was such a glorious personality - larger that life personality and a fun person to be around. She had this incredible laugh and was a real joy.   30 December 2018   HUGE Honour for Rob Tapert today! Congratulations Rob! Well deserved gong for services to the NZ Film and TV Industries.

We are testing and checking all the accounts to make sure everything came over intact. At this rate we anticipate the new server to be visible to all in 2-3 days. How do you know if you are on the new server or the old server? If you can read this line, then you are on the old server.       16 December 2018 The AUSXIP server news. I've decided to upgrade the server because of hardware / software failures.. What that means is that we are moving the entire server to her new digs which is more roomy, faster server. This is going to take a few days. Hopefully the old server won't completely go kaput by the time we finish. We are hoping NOT to down the server while the transfer happens but in the event the original server goes crashing down, it will be brought up again and kept up until we move. Fun and games it is not but it will give us a more stable machine with room to expand.
