The Server of Amontillado
The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn’t missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn’t find the server. Working with Novell Inc. (stock: NOVL), IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.
Thanks to Vince on the ASAE tech list for the link and the Poe reference.

Accessibility in the Private Sector: Not Happening
From David Crow: Website Accessibility in the Private Sector:
Ronald Milliman at Western Kentucky University has published a study analyzing private sector web sites for accessiblity. His results showed that 98.24% of the sites sampled failed the Bobby accessibility test for ADA Section 508 compatibility. The most interesting findings are that web designers were not knowledgeable of the exact techniques for making their site fully compliant (17.40% were knowledgeable) and that web designers did not feel that disabled users were a part of their target audience (42.07%).
