How are we going to survive this? :0 The projected shutdown is 16 hours. I'm running the current alpha, with a "connect every 'x' days" at 0.125, and the "extra days" set at 8. It's keeping about 48 hours of SETI and I've got about 36 hours of beta, and it's really steady. I don't crunch 24 hours/day. That ought to cover it. ID: 606208 ·

Now I'll have to reset it back to two days in case that 16 hours becomes 48 hours or more. The possibility of that is far from remote. ID: 606574 ·

The server closet with all these computers in it, The splitters, schedulers and download servers pouring the sweat and their tongues hanging out from trying to keep up with everyone stocking up for the weekend. The other computers just strolling along and laughing. Then Monday (or whenever the power comes back on,) the ones that were just strolling along now, the assimilators, validators and upload servers will be sweating with their tongues hanging out! Hehehe... PS, I know many of the jobs are done by the same computers, but that is the picture I get when I think about it! Jim Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.

Why would you "protest" something that is clearly beyond control? The University (effectively the "power company" for SSL) has imposed an electrical blackout. They could probably get a backup generator, but that's expensive too. We'll do just fine. ... and I'm not making any changes because of the outage. ID: 606617 ·

If there were more I'd call attention to the fact they "plan" to be down only the last 8 hours of Saturday, and first 8 hours of Sunday (from their perspective) for a grand total of 16 hours (that's only 2/3rds of ONE day). Of course, Murphy might play a hand. ID: 606740 ·

Just finished doing my weekend shopping- tried to load up 4 days worth. I just looked at things with BoincView and it is ugly- my quad sucked down all 396 that it was allowed.
