Update: After reaching a logical (i.e. not physical) limitation in our science database we had to rebuild one table. No data were lost. We resumed normal operations today around noon.

We hit a storage limitation in our science database. Everything is okay but we will remain down, at least overnight, to run various tests.

Thanks for the explanation, Matt. It doesn't change anything, but it makes us feel better just knowing that you know what's happened.

Glad to be back?

We're glad to have you back.

Hope your hiatus was a good one.

Thanks, Mat.
It's good to have you back around.

Thanks for the news, hope the tests reveal it's nothing serious.

maybe he cameback exactly because we got problems or he would still wandering around somewhere.. ^^

Thanks for the heads up Matt. It's good to know you are aware of what the problem is, and that it is being worked on. Good luck with it.

Welcome home Matt.

Its a shame the fire hose needed to be reeled out upon your return. Aside from that I hope it was a good tour.

That's OK. I have ET trapped in my closet, so there's no need to look for ET any longer.

Too much hormone treated meat.
Too much Monsanto veggies.
Too old and outdated constitution.
A crazy problem, as you Yanks use to say......
There is no God, and God never existed.

I am under the impression the site is still down due to storage issues. Is there an update as to when the site will resume projects? Thank you in advance for the assist in this issue.

AAAAARRRRGGHHH!!!!!

Okay, Matt, thanks for telling us you're at least aware of and working on it.
