Early note as I'm leaving after lunch today. Looks like the translation code on the web broke sometime during yesterday evening. How embarrassing. Code was updated on this site (not by me!) which messed things up. The problem with the translation stuff is that it takes a while to "percolate" - you update the proper .inc files, you look at the web site, it looks fine, so you move onto something else - and don't notice when it breaks 10-15 minutes later. Normally I check in regularly on "off hours" to catch such problems but I was busy last night. Anyway, I don't want to apologize for this, especially as it wasn't my fault, and in fact I fixed it when I got in by falling back to older code. I believe everything is else is more or less recovering from various mounting/network/reboot issues yesterday. Hope y'all are getting your workunits for the weekend! - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

And I hope you get to collect up something other than "server kicks" for your weekend. Hope you can enjoy it uninterrupted for a change. |

Is this the problem that causes the "Account" page to be inaccessible? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/home.php I cannot access that page. It's not too many computers, it's a lack of circuit breakers for this room. But we can fix it :) |

You're probably aware of this already, but just in case . . . The splitters are off and the queue is empty. |

???? is working on that right now. Hey! I thought there was supposed to be no names! (Then again, I guess there's only ever at most a 1-in-4 guess :-p ) All good fun, and keep up the good work! (The new streamlined translation code sounds like a very good idea and a good improvement for maintainability. Hopefully, any bugs will be quickly cleared.)

(The new streamlined translation code sounds like a very good idea and a good improvement for maintainability. Very streamlined indeed, only the English version is left ;-) Hopefully, any bugs will be quickly cleared.) I second that and shall refrain from posting error reports for a (short) while. :-) Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben.
