[Hokay...
First of all, all of the synopses that were dropped last week due to
the DNS misconfiguration at Florencio's ISP should be included here.
If your synopsis wasn't included last week, check again this week.
Second of all, regarding the above misconfiguration... I tracked down
the problem, and emailed his ISP telling them exactly what the problem
was. So far I have not received a response, and the misconfiguration
has not been rectified. However, I have found a way to work around
the problem, so things should be reliable again for next week.
