I spend more time with family (including the dog) and working on my totally nerdy web pages. And last night I watched Canada just barely beat Switzerland in Olympic men's hockey. What a cliff hanger. ![]() ![]() |

I understand the swiss put a lot of money in their hockey team and the quality is showing. They looked pretty good against the Canadians ![]() In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

I understand the swiss put a lot of money in their hockey team and the quality is showing. They looked pretty good against the Canadians They also had a head coach from the great city of Steinbach, Manitoba. And they did look very good. Their goalie saved their bacon several times. I think he plays regularly in the NHL. ![]() ![]() |

All I know that I have one WU running and seven awaiting validation. I have no CUDA and my Opteron 1210 running Linux at 1.8 GHz is not the fastest CPU. But I am using an optimized app from Lunatics. Tullio |

One of the PCs has 2 WUs left and when those are done, it will be getting a thorough cleaning out as it has been running a little warmer than usual. Aside from that, nothing much will change - wharever I do, the cats will still walk on the keyboard! Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

Hiamps, the staff is fully aware of all the problems. Eric thinks it is going to take some time before everybody is able to receive and return work and things are running smoothly again. I don't know what else to do for you friend. |

Still Broken, bummer I was hoping thru here word might finally get out...Guess not. The machines cooked when the A/C quit. There are going to be drive failures and re-syncs for some time to come. It will sort itself out. Ignore it and your B/P will go down. ![]() |

After that I may as well just uninstall as It's not going to make a difference. Is that the same as throwing your toys out of the pram? I haven't been able to send / receive work for a week - in part down to bad timing, i.e. I have been on when the project hasn't. Shit happens. Eric & the guys will fix it. Everyone will be all smiles again. |

Eric is painfully aware of the situation. I simply have had no answer as to the solution. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

You guys DO all know that Seti staff members are all crunchers as well, right? I'm pretty sure that all of them run S@H on their work and/or home machines. What you know, they know. Eric and I have stuff on our home machines we have been unable to upload as well. I think it is so sweet that some of you crunch exclusively for Seti. (I do so as well, but for less noble reasons... I only do it because I have one small machine!) Please know that Eric crunches multiple projects himself. There is a great deal of mutual respect between users and staff members of the various projects. Please oh please do not crunch Seti exclusively if down-times like these affect your health and well being. Fondly, Angela |

But, as one of your top contributors, I have the right to complain too. I am sure Eric would fix it if he could. And be careful who you fondle with your tagline.. Some of us are not so casual about our testicles. LOL. Meow meow. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

When SETI is broken the ET World breathes a sigh of relief. Besides laughing their whatevers off. As a TOP CLASSIC CONTRIBUTOR I used to get so MAD when I couldn't crunch. LOL. Boy, was I a sick puppy then. iStack 'em. |

And please understand that my respect for you and hubby is immense. Being a top contributor does not grant one a right to complain. This is all volunteer, so regardless of how much work done or are doing, you are still no better than the rest of us. Your right to complain is by merely being a volunteer. Don't try to raise yourself above the rest of us and stop acting like you're top cat around here. |

Your right to complain is by merely being a volunteer. Don't try to raise yourself above the rest of us and stop acting like you're top cat around here. In a free speech country (which the US appears to still be) everyone has a right to complain. That doesn't mean anybody else automatically has an obligation to respond in any way. Freedom of speach can include not speaking, especially when you are busy with something more important. Angela, Eric et al, I hope you can see past the moaning and groaning we sometimes do here, and understand that anybody who really understands what is going on here has nothing but respect (and maybe a bit of awe) for all the SETI staff, and all the staff at the other BOINC projects that keep things together. Meanwhile, while my uploads and downloads continue at a trickle, I'm off to enjoy some early spring weather here in the Great White North, and walk my dog. When I get home, I intend to sample the results of my latest visit to the duty free shop. Ummmm, Jamiesons.... ![]() ![]() |
