Server "bane" is still out of commission. Jeff is obtaining support for that. However, I'm currently getting server "bambi" up and running - we might get it in the server closet in the next day or two and start looking into putting a science database replica on it. We had a blip earlier this afternoon as Dave/Bob implemented a feeder update that didn't behave as expected. Wrapped up some of the finishing touches on what will be a couple more BOINC client download mirrors hosted offsite by IBM. Other than that - lots of mundane sys/admin details occupying most of my day. I'm strangely very busy (as usual) even though there haven't been any major crises to contend with. Not complaining... - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea. What is hard is to do it." - Jeanne-Claude ID: 601063 ·

Awesome news about Bambi, we all keep our fingers crossed. Keep up the great work, and thanks again sir. Jeremy ID: 601124 ·

I took that picture last year. See this slightly larger picture. This was taken while I was working my way towards standing in that very arch (which is about 220 feet across at the base). This was my third time in this rather remote part of Utah. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

They should have used THAT in the Star Trek episode _The City on the Edge of Forever_. It would have made a very cool temporal doorway. ID: 601478 ·

Very VERY well done for a bunch of volunteers recreating the original series era with new episodes. I hope they are able to continue the project and make more. 8-D TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel... Come along K-9! Join Calm Chaos ID: 601571 ·
