The replica problems I mentioned yesterday ended up not being problems at all. There was some network security stuff I got bogged down with yesterday afternoon and again this morning - campus is ultra paranoid, so when they see what they think is nefarious activity (false positive or otherwise), or even potential security holes that haven't yet been exploited, you have to pretty much drop everything and act on it, which is fair enough. I spent pretty much my entire day getting the ball rolling on the "visualization" of the NTPCkr output. Jeff has some code working which dumps out giant blobs of xml detailing the "current best" points on the sky. So I spent the day writing up some php which digests this xml and makes nice tables, plots, etc. It's all very basic so far, but it's a start. We're getting large bursts of network activity at midnight every day now. Not sure what's up with that. Somebody's got a cronjob somewhere doing something. - Matt -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.

While there has been a bit of a peak for a while, in the last few days a pattern in astropulse work returned and errors has been noticed. see first two graphs: http://www.bluenorthernsoftware.com/scarecrow/sahstats/ap.php?t=7 /edit and the discussion at: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=52329 ID: 872326 ·
