Well this issue will have to be resolved next week, The memory sticks for the machine that was supposed to handle the web traffic was defective and so we are waiting on replacements before bringing it online.

The transitioner is not currently able to keep up with the splitters. We are going to bring down the frontend in an attempt to allow the transitioner a chance to play catchup with the rest of the system.

SETI/ BOINC:

Project is shut down for maintenance - please try again later.

Maybe another project wants my spare CPU cycles?

We are going to leave the website down until Monday. We are going to bring back up the scheduler in an hour. The transitioner was moved to it's own machine and it processing workunits at a much faster rate.

Belated congats to Raven

and bump

I some how think Boinc wasn't ready to go public yet. I have completed almost 40 workunits and only received credit for 5 so far. They also have shut off the pending credit pages so nobody can see how far behind they really are.

[Entrail]

Well im looking at it at mo and boy is it slow

[Entrail]

Well i got it down loaded now i cant get any work to do

[Entrail]

Boinc is still not working for me and this needed a bump as it was sliping down page

[Entrail]

Well its all running for me now i have 5 Bonk units catched
( Im just trying to get a bit of a head start its the only way i will ever be in the top 10 )

BOINC BUMP from page 4

[The Postman]

( Im just trying to get a bit of a head start its the only way i will ever be in the top 10 )

I dont think you need to worry. I don't think 10 people are running it.

[Entrail]

I have 2 comps runing it now and dont have a prob getting work any more

BOINC reminds me of an old cartoon (looney toons?) with a boxing segment - "He's up! He's down! He's up! He's down!"  It may be Post Beta but it sure ain't Gold yet.  But I think it is a great concept and hope they get the kinks out soon and some other projects come online.

Any one else notice the change on the Taldren BOINC team page?

It works now?  Hot d@mn!  And I actually rate listing?  Double d@mn!  I better get a screenprint of the ephemeral glory before I get dusted by the big-boys.

[Entrail]

look im it the top 10

4) f9TH SIR X     450.75    29.68    New Zealand

For the first time ever

[Nemesis]

look im it the top 10

4) f9TH SIR X     450.75    29.68    New Zealand

For the first time ever

Better still I am back in the top 5.

I only processed one BOINC datapackage.

[Byzantine]

The downside to our glory? I think the six of us are listed 'cause we are the only ones to have any Taldren BOINC credit.  Big fish in a very small pond for now.

This is the page whenever you want current SETIBoinc news.

They tend to be more down than up as far as dishing out WU's for Boinc.  Hopefully they will get it all figured out before Christmas.

[KD]

thanks for the heads up

The project is currently down. We found a bug in the scheduling code such that returned results were not being updated in the database. We are now running a fix script on the DB, marking each affected result as unsent so that it will be resent. Unfortunately, credit was not given for results affected by the bug.

There is a weeks processing down the drain.

[Byzantine]

I hope these guys are not writing any software for space travel.  If so, I ain't goin'!

The project is *still* down. The database cleanup for the bug found on July 28 is going much slower than expected. We hope to have everything back up later today or early tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Entrail]

And now my P4 is down as the modem is dead so im down to 1 slow comp.
At least ill still be in the top 10 for a long time by the looks of things

[The Postman]

Right now I just need the project to get running again. I have about 3-4 more days of crunching before I have to switch back to the other project. I was lucky, I had set my cache to 12 days just before the project went down.
