Dear telegardener :-)

According to the information I got, our beloved telegarden will be
shut down next week (probably as early as Monday) and it will move
to the new railway station. Unfortunately the railway station in
Linz/Austria won't be finished until the end of 2004, so the garden
will remain offline during this time.

Please spread the word and join us in the telegarden Village Square
this weekend to say a "Good bye garden and see you soon again"

During the downtime of the garden system, we will meet at
http://www.telegarden.org
which is the backup Village Square chat.
(you will need to re-register for telegarden.org)

I hope to see many of you :-)

Today I was in Linz to visit the TG one last time in it's current
state - here are some photos, including 2 short videos:

Best regards,
Captain.

Dear Gardener! :-)

Excellent news: The Robot is Back Online!!!!

On Sept. 7th, 2002 the robot went offline due a crash of the harddisk
in the control unit of the robot itself. The server remained online.
Now after 5 weeks the staff at the AEC got a new disk and repaired
the control unit. Furthermore a relay was damaged and difficult to
replace, so the server was offline the last few days.

Other news:

I spoke with the art director of the AEC, Mr. Stocker during the
Ars Electronica Festival (http://www.aec.at/festival/) and he told me:
"...the telegarden project will be continued. No doubt! We are currently
searching for a second robot to have spare parts when they are needed ..."

As you know, in case the server should be down again, we will meet at
the Telegarden Village Square Backup Site http://www.telegarden.org

CU soon @ TG,
Captain.
