Please take just a minute to read some of the dozens of other recent threads about this very same issue before posting.

Not only will you find your answer, but all these "duplicate" posts are pushing interesting and important threads off the first page - which is generally the only page most look at.

Another "attitude" you will avoid is the "If you cannot be bothered to spend time looking, why should we be bothered to spen time answering?"

Actually, Boinc is working fine, my other projects are crunching merrily along.
The problem is Seti, and the massive influx of new users coming from Classic. Currently, the upload servers are being pounded by so many request that it effectively acts like 'denial of service attack'. More and more uploads are successfully getting through since they turned off the download servers in an effort to drain peoples caches and ease the load.
I'm sure the people at Berkeley will find a more permanent solution in the near future.

This is getting exciting.
Starting time at Berkeley (9:00 am PST).

Will they reboot the servers first and then go for the coffee?

Or after this long weekend go for the coffee first?

Being a Monday, they will have to wash out the pot and make an extra big one, as it will take two or three cups to get started. And they are going to need it.

But how will we know, not from the Cogent link activity, that is already showing no activity, but will only after the servers are rebooted. And the Status page only gets updated every 20 minutes. Oh horrors, we may have to wait until they post something!

Not a blip on Cognet yet, the coffee maker must be winning.

Jack this board uses BBC code not html

[ i] and [ /i] instead might work better.

note spaces included so it would show on page.

Or will they just leave it with whatever new lifeforms have evolved in there over the weekend to add in to this week's flavour?

Where's that coffee-pot webcam?

Its too early for me, I normally sleep later than this (EST) and I do a lot of posting on boards that use HTML tags. Just came from one of those. Sure wish this board had a PreView button instead of having to Edit posts.

This board used to use html, recently switched though, something or other about security. Hmmm Security...who would want to steal my work units anyway??? LOL

My former employer used to put a box of donuts and a carafe of coffee in the computer room when they were having problems with the inhouse system. He refered to it as 'geek bait'. It did seem to work, and occasionally we even got the system fixed as well.

It must be worse than we thought, and catching a few waves and a few puffs down at the beach must have won out.

I used to fix industrial machinery that netted the company a bunch per hour when running. When it'd go down everyone was expected to drop everything and run. On many occasions where we worked through lunches and breaks and fixed the issue, the VP would show up 1/2 hour later carrying a piping hot pizza.

You start the reboot then as all the RAIDs realine and sink up. Then it's time to coffee up. Oops a bad reboot start the rereboot but hold off on. Oops still no com between the link and downer. Start the rerereboot. but do a cold boot on the. Oops the sin reports off line. Anyone got any aspirin.

That was one of the advantages of the old Honeywell systems. Even with a normal, clean reboot you still had time for a 3 course meal between clear-load-ready-execute and seeing the login prompts. :)

I'm still wondering about the title of this thread:

bionic is roblematic


According to Dictionary.com a Roble is:

1. A Californian oak (Quercus lobata) having leathery leaves and slender pointed acorns. Also called white oak.
2. Any of various similar or related trees.

How they can be a sort of matic in any way is the next problem.
Unless they are Bionic trees, then the structure of the sentence is just a statement, correct?

Bionic oak trees are roblematic, shortened down becomes Bionic is roblematic.

Comments?

I'm thinking he/she meant ruble. Boinc must be making money for the Russians automatically.

[edit] oops... I spelled bionic wrong

I could see a problem on a Monday morning with someone getting that far and not seeing the next word, before trying to smoke it.
