Seti is down again
Miep:
Afraid so. I think they had to hide the new outage schedule thread (was slowing everything down), but there is still a note on the homepage.
Anyway for the forseeable future SETI will be down Tuesday morning to Thursday afternoon (or Friday morning more likely) (PDT of course) to alllow them to use the machines for science - can't effectively access the database while it's being filled!

Well, there I was......
Trying to explain 'Springtime for Hitler' to a bunch of close-minded neophites.......
And they whacked me again.
Mel was just really having a go at the Hitler youth. It WAS funny......
He was not praising him for what he did.
So, after my $7000.00 fund raising drive last night, I am locked out again.
You would think I would learn something from this abuse................
Pfffffffffffft.
Geek@Play:
Mark.....................
You are the single most successful fund raiser for Seti that is NOT directly employed by the project. You should be proud of the last effort, it really was very successful.
But..........I know that there are a lot of members that hate to see you locked out all the time, including myself. You contribute so much to the project. You are certainly old enough to know when you are being antagonistic on the boards and old enough to know better. And that's all I'll say on the matter.

Hope it's not a long vacation Mark, we do miss you. Hurry back.

LoL, Sorry to laugh, but it all just reminded me of the fairly recent occasion I was modded & admonished by PM for using the word 'bastard' in a jocular context [Bastard : term of endearment in Australian slang ::) as in 'How's it goin' ya bastard?']. Didn't make much sense to me then, or now. ['Fair suck of the sav']
The wonderfully colourful local dialect of English/Australian ['Ocker Lingo'] I do acknowledge isn't appropriate for the boards, but that particular word is pretty much the self censored replacement for about two thirds of my vocabulary, so it was a bit like being told I wasn't wanted on the forums - which certainly brought me unhinged for a day or so, I got over it eventually. [ 'Was pretty ropeable, chucked a bit of a wobbly, went off like a frog in a sock']
I wouldn't place too much behind the apparent encroachment of uptight intolerance ['stinkin' yobboes, dry as a dead dingo's donger'] into an institution renowned for being so liberal ['Rip snorter of a joint']. It seems to be some character trait needed for a role that nobody wants for long, some kind of irrepressible overeagerness to enforce one's own interpretation of 'the rules' over and above consensus. ['Kangaroos in the top Paddock' if ya asked me.]
Well done with the server thingy ;D
