Matt Lebofsky et al. you do outstanding work keeping the project going when things insist on falling over. You are adept at finding out why and picking them up again. Without you the project would have evaporated long ago.

Your work is appreciated and as one SysAdmin to others, I feel your pain :)

To others out there who work as SysAdmins and the like, the same.

I'll second that. I've never been a full-blown sysadmin, and never on a production system running 24/7 with a global audience watching your every move, but I felt for them this last week. At least there'll be plenty of time until 2^63 comes along to bite their ankles.

As a retired sysadmin (in role since 1979) I heartily agree with the praise and approval.

Well done, and keep up the (frequently unappreciated) good work, Matt et al on this project; and to all sysadmins whereever you toil.
Happy Crunching,

Graham

Well, if any SysAdmins deserve the recognition, those here on Seti certainly do!!

Happy SysAdmin day, to all the SETI@Home admins, testers, moderators etc.
Without your efforts this project would have fallen down a very long time ago.

Thanks guys & gals.
