Which is right? Surely we're not getting "Porkies" in the Technical News? May 9, 2007 Update: Our science database server died on Tuesday, May 1st. We haven't been able to create new workunits since then (though we are still accepting completed results). http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/results.php?hostid=2847369 Keith ID: 563825 ·

I just tumbled to the re-issue possibility and came back to mention it here, only to find several others had already pointed it out. Sorry I doubted the Technical News -- Sorry -- Sorry I still think this long outage may well be a blessing in disguise. The problem stale & ghost results are being isolated. Keith ID: 563875 ·

That was quite awhile ago now if memory serves correctly. Alinator ID: 563884 ·
