Another Monday back on the farm. Due to faulty log rotation (and overly wordy logs) our /home partition filled up over the weekend, which didn't do much damage except it caused some BOINC backend processes to stop (and fail to restart). No big deal - the assimilators/splitters are catching up now. Jeff just kicked the validators, too. The hidden real problem is that the server start/stop script is 735 lines of python. In our copious free time we'll re-write a better, smarter version in a different scripting language (which will be, by default, easier to debug) - and it'll probably be only 100 lines or so, I imagine. Okay.. maybe 200. The mass mail pleading for donations is wrapping up without much ado, except a large number of them got blocked/spam filtered. No big surprise there, but we need to do more research about how to get around all that. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

In seven years, I have yet to receive a donation request from SETI@home, yet I get all other notifications. I send my donation in on 12/1/07 from Stockton and it hasn't cleared yet. Will resend another check as soon as I am able, you may wind up with two donations from me. Great job and I love your posts Matt. I just noticed, I got my star. Now I will send the other check anyway. Thank you, this was my chrismas gift to myself. Pluto will always be a planet to me.  Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt ID: 692475 · |
