=== From the Web ===
-Generally any locker that you would access on Athena as {{{/mit/<locker>}}} is accessible on the web as {{{{http://web.mit.edu/<locker>}}}. For example, the barnowl locker is at [http://web.mit.edu/barnowl]. As you can see, if there is no index.html (see below), the files in the directory are listed. By default, however, none of the contents are readable except in the `www` and `Public` folders.

Also, you may access something in one of the MIT AFS cells by taking its full AFS path after web.mit.edu ([http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/activity/c/chess-club]). (That link also shows that if you have a text file named README readable, as a link to Public/README for example, its contents will be displayed below the directory listing).
and then doing a {{{ln -s www/redirect.html index.html}}} in the top level of the locker. Alternatively you can link index.html to a blank file in your `Public` or `www` (you can't simply it in the top level because its not readable there, this will result in a 403 Forbidden error).
=== It was around 6am on a Sunday morning and suddenly I couldn't access my files ===
-Yea, IS&T restarts the AFS servers weekly around 6am.
+Yeah, most AFS servers restart weekly at 6 AM on Sunday.
=== It isn't Sunday and I can't get to my files ===
There may be a non-scheduled AFS outage. Check [http://3down.mit.edu 3down], hopefully it will be back up soon :-(.
