If you fingered me right now at my usual address ([log in to unmask]),
it would tell you I'm not online.  That's because I'm on isis at the moment.
Ra and Isis are in some kind of embrace in the machine room, and it really
doesn't matter which one I use to read mail.  If I always logged onto Isis,
fingering me @Ra would say I had never logged on.  (Actually I log on to
nova -- which isn't a machine at all but which checks the loads on Ra and
Isis and puts me on whichever one is less busy at the moment.)
