Goodbye Ibuildings, Hi Rhinofly

Small update:

They were unable to update their LDAP database. After a lot of frustrating phonecalls in which they told us to wait just a little more, we decided to [...]
Boxes, Boxes everywhere….

Genealogy unfortunately offline!
Unfortunately I had to take the “Westen” genealogy offline, due to a heavy serverload.The information that was sent to me by a couple of people will be entered in the genealogy too. Hopefully the system will return in a couple of weeks. (Depending of the problem can be fixed). Cheers, Max
