come on replica! Breathe! (Need data for some code polishing :D) Well there is no full time SETI@home staff. They all have several other responsibilities to work on & may only allocate a few hours a week to work SETI@home stuff. They could spend that time working on the issue or telling us something is broken with an unknown time to fix. Which will have users posing more questions. Also the replica database server isn't required to run the project. If it goes wonky for a while it isn't a problem. It does make it more difficult is users needing help troubleshooting any issues.

come on replica! Breathe! (Need data for some code polishing :D) There is a message on the front page Replica database offline... The replica database will be offline until we can restore it from the primary database on tuesday (at the earlies). This will result in slowness of the web site and the scheduler. |

There is a message on the front page Indeed. I hope Eric was actually feeling better & not just pressured to give us some info. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Indeed. I hope Eric was actually feeling better & not just pressured to give us some info +1 to that few more days don't matter least the project is putting work out etc , so what if the stats are screwy :-) Life is what you make of it :-) When i'm good i'm very good , but when i'm bad i'm shi#eloads better ;-) In't I " buttercups " p.m.s.l at authoritie !!;-) |

There is a message on the front page Hence my earlier question: "Is Eric the only one who can add a message?" If he is then surely that needs changing. Simple contingency planning. If he isn't then why didn't anyone else take 30 seconds to give the update several days ago? BTW Eric's note is exactly what was needed and I'm grateful for it. |

There is a message on the front page Jeff & DA can. However there schedules may prevent them from being able to do so. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Well then. Re: my previous post about a mounting bracket failure, it broke again, as everyone expected. There wasn't much material to hold onto, so it was a matter of time. But, it gave me more time since then to brainstorm better ideas for fixes, and I came up with a pretty good one, and it feels sturdier than the original bracket was. I found a short screw that has good sharp teeth on it, and took a wire staple and cut it to make a new tab and hold that down with the short screw. Seems pretty solid. I would expect the other bracket to break before this one does now. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

I notice that the stats export for Beta came back online, presumably after the outrage... may we hope that the production stats export will be similarly brought online? (stated by # 1 on my team and #13 in the world for Beta...) . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

Well then. Re: my previous post about a mounting bracket failure, it broke again, as everyone expected. There wasn't much material to hold onto, so it was a matter of time. I think your idea in the first post was better - although I'd make the bracket out of aluminum, (for head spreading…) not steel. . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

Well then. Re: my previous post about a mounting bracket failure, it broke again, as everyone expected. There wasn't much material to hold onto, so it was a matter of time. I agree. I have a scrap slab of 3/4-inch 6061 aluminum that is approx 12x12 inches. Ideally, I would rather use a piece of that to make a replacement bracket entirely out of that instead. I think maybe I'll end up doing that as a preventative upgrade solution for the new Zen boards that are coming (probably in January.. latest thing I've heard is Zen will be debuted and launched at CES).

It would the nice to see this 60 MB tape blc2_2bit_guppi_57451_67970_HIP117473_0019 0.06 GB get processed it has been listed for a long time. One thing is certain when it gets processed it will be done reasonably fast |

Yes Richard is correct. It would have to be the smallest tape I have seen from memory. Steven I am glad the question because this is how we learn. |

most of the multibeam tapes appear to be 2016 and some 2015. does that mean we are mostly caught up with re-doing older tapes? |

I want to say no... We may be 'caught up' with the 2015/2016 under v8, but I don't think any of the older tapes have been processed... this way. |

We may have caught up on Arecibo, but certainly not Breakthrough listen, currently we are splitting MJD: 57451 which translates to 4th of March 2016, what I can see on breakthrough listen data archive, MJD: 57628 which translates to 28th of August 2016, therefore we are behind on processing |

Well then. Re: my previous post about a mounting bracket failure, it broke again, as everyone expected. There wasn't much material to hold onto, so it was a matter of time. Bracket broke again. This time, both ends where the screws mount it.. the whole end of the bracket broke off. It took me all day to figure out, too, because the heatsink didn't fall off (and be caught by the safety strap I put on it). About 5pm, the system suddenly was very sluggish and seemed to take longer to do everything than it usually does. I checked task manager and there was nothing abnormal there. I scratched my head all day on that one and couldn't figure it out. Pulled up Speccy and saw CPU was being reported as 69*C. Clicked on the CPU section and it was 69*C and downclocked to 1.2ghz instead of 3.3..idle, with nothing going on. That explains the sluggishness. Took a peek in the side of the case and saw the heatsink was a little bit... not-perpendicular to the board. Turned the under-desk light on and saw the bracket was broken at both ends. Shut down, pulled the bracket, dug out the slab of aluminum and spent 2 hours with all the wrong tools making a replacement out of a solid piece of metal. Took some tweaking to make it fit properly... but that's done and installed now. Back to video encoding.. 100% CPU load and it is sitting at 37*C at 3.3ghz--that's more like it. Now I wonder how long until the lower bracket breaks. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

MJD: 57451 which translates to 4th of March 2016, MJD: 57628 which translates to 28th of August 2016. Can you please explain how you get the day and year from "57628" I can possibly understand how you get the year? Is that from the "6" |
