It's 38 degrees F in Berkeley.


Is it about 4 C? So cold in CA? I'm shocked!

It was 2.5C, Now It's a warm 4.2C. DA?(that's all of My Russian)

As to uploads, the last of mine finally went through, now if some results will report.

Reporting is working fine here. Just not much in the way of new WUs being sent in exchange for the ones reported.

When whatever was down got kicked and the crickets came back to life, the blue line jumped above its normal average, as it usually does after such an event. This makes me think bandwidth isn't restricting uploading/reporting and the blue line's normal is where it should be for the given amount of work going out.

(Does that either A: make sense, or B: state something incredibly obvious?)

Maybe it's just me being cynical but has anyone else noticed that major problems always seem to occur when there's a funding drive on ?

The same sh*t happened in December last year as is happening now.

I'm pretty sure things have taken a giant dump several other times during the past year. I don't think the hardware gets offended when they ask for money to fix/replace it. With the longer holidays in Nov/Dec I would expect they spend less time babysitting everything.

One of the problems is that every year they get a small fraction of what they actually need. It's too bad we haven't been able to find a doner with really, really deep pockets, not to fund Seti for the future, but at least to catch up on where it should be at the moment. If I could, I would, but at the moment that is just a dream.....

When i went to bed there were 100s of WUs wating to upload. Got up this morning & most of them had cleared, but now there are new uploads backing up.
The upload server is having issues again.
Combined with most requests for work resulting in "Project has no tasks available" has resulted in one machine running out of GPU work & the other will run out in a couple of hours.

Another possible source of correlation is that whenever there's a fundraising drive, we hear from people who have drifted away from crunching over the months and years, but are reminded about the project by the fundraising email - and then come back to crunching, at least for a while.

In short, the funding drive can actually put an extra strain on the servers, and not just from the effort of processing all those emails :P

My tasks were uploaded today by means of me pushing the Retry-button once in the Transfers box. One of the tasks was a little reluctant, but finally was uploaded.

Anyway, when checking out the news section on Yahoo! (news.yahoo.com), I notice that the pages are a little to slow.

I am trying to get any further news about that mysterious object which supposedly has been spotted close to the planet Mercury.

Is this the first time this possibly has happened, or do mysterious objects hide close to the sun as well? These days it may seem ordinary people are being cheated by scientists all the time. When should we believe and when should we not believe?

If I am not wrong, there are some 2 billion results being stored on the servers. Still people are complaining about uploads and downloads. Maybe there are some results of true scientific value going up and down over time. If not so, I and definitely many others may already have the results which could be regarded as significant.

Or is this perhaps a bit premature to say?

Sorry, my ride slipped out. I've moved it back where it belongs so you can quit worrying about it. Move along, nothing to see here. This is not the spaceship you were looking for.

uploads currently VERY difficult. Taking 10-15 minutes to upload each task with numerous retries and as my main cruncher is still eating shorties every 4 minutes I cannot get new tasks as the upload queue is getting longer and longer.

Cricket graph looks blocky just as it did 4 days ago when we had a similar problem.

Apparently an artefact of the way background subtraction is (initially) done on the images.

Move along, move along, no aliens to be seen here... :-(

Once again, uploads are starting to accumulate.

EDIT- most of them have just gone through, but then the next group that just finished are sitting there unable to upload.

Server Status page is over 5 hours old

It currently indicates [As of 9 Dec 2011 | 13:30:11 UTC] with the replica showing offline.

Not that it truly tells us what is going in the server closet.
