On one hand, we're still cleaning up lots of fallout from various minor outages. On the other, nothing all that major happened beyond what we normally deal with. In good news, Bob got the science database replica officially working at this point. Sweet. I'll keep this short as I have a lot on my plate. Hey look.. the database is choking right now. What's up with that...? - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea. What is hard is to do it." - Jeanne-Claude ID: 656468 ·

Have no clue, but having beta_file_deleter.i686 off since April isn't adding anything to the bloat is it? Thanks for the heads up, welcome back and great work.
