I noticed we've had an awful lot of work on in the field lately In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope ID: 1007143 ·

It looks like I still have three or four days worth of work before I can start it again. Not bad since I'm only running with a three day cache! :-~ PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC ID: 1007237 ·

Looks like I am 20 away from my "daily limit" since everything got validated and apparently "turned in" yesterday.. or is still pending... I have 16 left to crunch on that machine. should hold me till noon. Well between the 2 machines, I might have enough to cost past 100K. After that gracefully(unit wise) leaving Boinc. If I want to get treated like this, I will get into another abusive relationship. Janice ID: 1007244 ·

I'd thought everyone had gone home for the night, Must be really a tough problem or something, I suppose We'll find out eventually, But then I checked Technical News already. But Its not like Eric and company can't solve this Gordian knot. More likely they're still trying to fix the stuff ups. :) ID: 1007316 ·

Message from server:Project is temporarily shut down for maintenance When I checked at 5:30 UTC the boards were down, but part of the system was up. Now it's vice versa. And I think it was somewhat greener half an hour ago. Looks like somebody was working really late. Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! ID: 1007326 ·

I watched my GPU crunch to 0 and low and behold another GPU task shows up and starts running. Do we have invisable cache's now? Maybe ET is beaming me work units:) [/quote] Old James ID: 1007416 ·

Upload server RAID failed. So much for RAID meaning redundant. <rant> Maybe they should just shut this whole thing down for a month, reconfigure & replace stuff to be more reliable (probably with lower throughput), and re-launch the project in August. The whole point of science is not pace but progress. Servers crashing every 48 hours is not progress, and the whole SETI team works too hard to have their efforts set back repeatedly because of reliability issues. </rant> Sorry if the rant is inappropriate; I had to get that out.
