Many kudos to the SETI@Home dev team. It just takes patience and faith on our end. "Good things come to those who wait...." Thanks dev team.... >:-) (-:

I'm amazed - this resourceful team obviously has the ability to tackle hard problems despite severe hardware and money limits. That's what I call science in action. Well done!

Let's not forget Jeff, Court, and Bob - they don't post to these forums, so they don't get the same accolades as me.

Anyway.. the non-obvious queues haven't fully drained, but I want to get the project up well before I go to bed. It's a rare slow Saturday night for me, so I might as well take advantage of it. The floodgates will open shortly, and there'll be a new tech note, etc. etc.

I know I'm a critic (sorry about that, but then again...), but I must admit you guys did a great job the last few days.

Zounds! Got online this am (EST) and saw the feeder and scheduler were up. Enabled Network access for all my machines and immediately uploaded 20+ WU with only 1 failure. Did a retry on it and it was gone too.

Congrats to everyone in the lab for all their hard work and patience with us not-so-patient crunchers.

WELL DONE, remenber your efforts are truly international, WORLDWIDE, spanning country, time zones, pc preference and borders. Hence deserve international respect, And even so, at the top of the world (New Zealand) I come home to find simple joy and happyness, with a PC or 3 crunching for SETI with shrubby a plenty.

Great work! I was able to connect to the server quicker than usual after an outage (only 2 tries) and got my WU's without having to click on the retry now button for the WU's a dozen times. It really seems to be running smoother!

I join to all your congratilations, but I'm a kind of a pessimist (or realist, if you like). I don't like (and neither pilots do) when passengers applauding as soon as the plane touches the ground, I know how many crashes occur at the far end of a runway. No doubt, the Berkeley team deserves every respect and other kind words for their hard work. But the work is not yet done. I think you started to celebrate the success a bit too early. Let's wait for at least a couple of days and see. The team still has a lot things to do. They will have more days and nights of hard work. They still can't afford to relax. So let's better just keep supporting them as we did before. Sorry for a glass of cold water over your joy :)

Sergey, I think you're missing the point a bit here.

Yes, I've also always thought it's silly when aeroplane passengers applause at touch down, because the pilots are only doing their job. We don't applause the busdriver, when s/he stops the bus at the busstop neither! As a former skydiver I know what the pilots are trained to do and landing an aeroplane safely is a part of their job (hence the fact, that nobody stays up there)! And people are applausing when they do their day to day work!

But the devs here usually only hear/read the bitching and ranting, so a few words of appreciation would be in order now and then! I've been married to a systemprogrammer, so I've seen first hand what the stress can cause (my exhusband became very ill and some of his collegues almost died from it), so it worries me to hear that some of them have worked so hard, that they couldn't sleep, but had to take sleepingpills to get some sleep! So a few words of appreciation when they manage to get this ship sailing again is not too much, IMNSHO! These guys are not only doing their day to day work, they are giving much more than that!

Sorry, I think you're missing my point. I wrote my first program in 1977, and since that time I have been doing nothing but programming. It's my job and it's my life. I know sleepless 48 hour maraphones when a project is in danger. My point was not about developers, I highly appreciated what they do, their work is so excellent I even can't express it in words. My point was about us, I see a kind of eiphoria here. That time a week ago things seemed going well too. But now we know it was a deceptive appearance of first online hours. That's what I'm warning about.
