I now wait one or two weeks to install my M$ updates as I have been burned by M$'s "fixes".

*shrug*
I wait 1 month before installing Quality updates, and around 4 months before installing major updates (what they call Feature updates).
And I'm in the Semi-Annual channel so I only get updates that are cleared for widespread use, not just the initial post-beta release.

Do not kick off the power to the power strip supply two of three PCs, they stop working pretty quickly......

Hate when that happens.

Reminds me of a guy doing some work on our satellite uplink years ago. He bumped the power bar killing the upconverters. Forgetting about the power up routine, he flipped it back on and kept working away. Well the HPAs did their usual drift to full power after a loss of input, then slowly tapered off to normal power level after a minute - normally one would switch it over to a dummy load during that time.

The result was beaming up with whopping 900 Watts of power from a 8m antenna saturating several transponders on the satellite blowing some (who really knows) 40-50 StarChoice (Canadian version of EchoStar) channels out of the sky ...

Greetings,

Is it me? Or is SETIs website running glacially slow today? I see a message in Firefox about doing a "TLS handshake".

Have a great day! :)

[edit]
This is just great! After I made this post, the website is running just fine now. Go figure... :\

Extremely slow sometimes, others no & the RTS buffer is falling.

The web site seems fine now - just don't ask for tasks :P

Yes the Web Site is back working fine now. No task available RTS = 0.

Today's equivalent wold be 14Gb at the very least, would totally destroy your carefully configured PC rendering it as much use as a paper bag would be as a shelter in a hurricane.

True, the reason I found it strange was SP2 for XP was definitely much larger than 11.7mb.

Just saw a report that the air in the Berkley area is bad from the Camp Fire.

They have cancelled classes.

So if the seti system goes weird, we should be calm and understanding if they can't do anything about it right away.

You mean we shouldn't try to "light a fire" under them ;)





Ouch, Ouch, Ouch.... Sorry, honest. I would do it again though.....

Now that the spaces have been removed it's clickable. ;-)

Greetings,

When do completed and validated tasks eventually end up on the Applications detail page?

Have a great day! :)

Maybe this thread will help answer the "when" question:

M$ sure likes breaking things!

Been binge watching some TV series from the 80's on DVD's not yet put on media box. All okay until yesterday.
Roxio Cineplayer - O K
VLC - O K
Real Player - O K
Kodi - O K.

All those tested after WMP hiccupped. Watching Season 2 of Airwolf - Discs 1, 2 & 3 played A O K (Weds).

Discs 4, 5, 6 got this last night:


Yet they play fine on the others.

I've had boinc crash on me a couple of times recently. When I check on it, it just isn't running. I restart it and all is good for some random amount of time. When I look at the log file, it is since the restart of the process. Is there a place to find out why it crashed??

I wasn't running the latest boinc, so I updated and hope it won't crash again.

edit: I'm on a mac.

You could try checking the SYSLOG to see if it captured anything.
I believe it is /var/log/syslog (no extension) on Mac.
There should be a logfile viewer for the GUI, search syslog and see what pops up.

In the stdoutdae.txt file in the boinc folder I found this.

Now to see if I can figure out what signal 15 is and if it gives me a clue or if it is a dead end. It is good to know that seti has a longer log file than what it shows you in the gui interface.

edit: looks like this doesn't give me enough info, but maybe I can tweak the logging settings.

Signal 15, is sigterm.
