That would be a web enabled smartphone, right?

I don't see what any of that has to do with providing a timely update on outages.

Sure, a nice new server would be great and all, but i think the effort required to get notices out in and of itself would be minimal and doable even for someone sitting at home on a sofa, just using windows utilities.

After seeing Seti was back up and WU's were getting through, i took the time to go around to my PC's and revert them back over to Seti from E@home...

When you have 9 computers, that takes about half an hour. To set them all back takes another half hour...

A timely update could have saved me that aggravation, that's all I'm saying.

You could even set up an alarm on trace32 monitoring the log to send a high priority email alert to a distribution list, or, if you are *super* lazy, you could set it up to post an alert to the message board itself...

Course, if you had a repeating failure, like an outage, that could result in spam posts, so probably best to have it alert a distribution list.

oh ya definitively, users can use more ... "care" from the project admins and sub-admins.

we arent paid to do that, it s even us who are paying :P. everything works with donations, and every users put money in their systems/networks to crunch harder and faster ^^

This is a science project. Right now, there are more volunteers than there are WUs, on a regular basis.

The project is short of resources, and has to use the available resources where it helps the science. Timely updates on outages may make us feel good, but it does NOTHING for the science. So, the resources (including our donations) go elsewhere.

I have 9 computers.
It doesn't take much effort to have another project on standby......
My faster rigs all have Einstein attached with a 0 percent share. They crunch only Seti until all WUs have been completed, and then automatically download a few hours of Einstein to work on. No muss, no fuss. If Seti work is received during the Einstein run, they switch back to processing Seti when the Einstein completes. If not, they get another batch of Einstein.
Very simple.

Ah, well my computers are across 2 sites, i have to drive to work.

I'll look into the configuration you suggested and see if i can figure it out, when i added E@home on mine, it downloaded like 15 E@H tasks and 1 S@H task, so i had to remove the E@H, because i was up against space limitations...

Thought that was why i wasn't getting S@H WU's, because E@H was hogging all the drive space.

But of course, turns out it was just another outage... :)

Yeah, if you are tight on HD storage, that's gonna throw another wrinkle into things. Boinc's workfetch can't work quite right if it has insufficient space to store the work. Einstein does take a bit of space.

I'm not getting any work out of the scheduler. Anybody else having trouble?

Everybody is....check the Panic Mode and other threads in Number Crunching.
That's the first place to check if you are having issues.

I see that the work creation rate has gone back up from o.nnn to 6.nnn when I had a look at the server status page, but available work is zero..

Either its all being shoveled out as soon as its created or whatever's crated is going into a blackhole..

At any rate I aint getting no satisfaction:-/ Logs show endless 'server has no work available' since yesterday afternoon..

7 WU on server. did update.. got 'no work' again..

There is some sort of skynet conspiracy against my rig.. or its Murphy's 3rd law again:-/

Don't shoot the messenger! Murphy merely observed that a connector in an aerospace project had no way to prevent its being plugged in the wrong way around -- so it was plugged in the wrong way around. "If anything can go wrong, it will." My understanding is that this was the genesis of the slightly asymmetric Canon "D" connectors (e.g. the 15-pin VGA connector, and 25-pin parallel printer connector) and derivatives.

Have been able to get any work in days.

Hi Ivan,
When Murphy is working hand in glove with both the Gremlins & Skynet, its time to send a message.. 1 swift TLAM would be ideal:-)
Gotta get the Gremlins to go back to Dimension 'n'...

Hi Bob,
Yup recon he has:-) Still on the bright side its amazing how many WU are getting validated ASAP.

Although I'm sure there are some folk out there who dont even know there's a problem, I have a couple of wingmen who havent been back to the servers since the 10th of last month.. Ignorance is bliss:-)

Cheers

Hi to some guys,

Past the dark I remembered to myself, these thread was opened by Matt some days ago.

Called: News\Project Back Online After Overnight Outage

Now I learned in this thread about Gremlins, Murphys Law, Skynet (greetings to TERMINATOR) Outerspace...and so on. Great!!!

How do ya think about this posts above, to change that into the Cafe SETI for more further small talks?

I`m still awaiting for serious new posts in this thread to resolve missing downloads new MBs and APs.

I'm not getting units for my GPU. Not sure If its a problem on my end or the Projects. Hopeing you resolve
this soon. Thanks

Very little work has gone out for well over 24 hours now.
The servers are currently down, as one of the staff is apparently trying to reset things to get them going again.
