Well, supposedly bruno is retired now, with bambi taking over upload duties.
I am not sure if they have finalized specs and actually placed the order for Oscar, the brand new powerful server which the Seti folk donated so generously for.  It certainly is not online yet, and probably won't be for a few weeks at best.  So I hope they can get mork stabilized between now and then.

Can't check as the website still says bruno is running...

Just as one thing gets fixed, another rears it's ugly head! Boo! Just got one machine up and running after problems with it crashing over the weekend, now the other has run out of work! Has anybody suggested a flaky power supply possibly for some of the problems besieging mork? I know that Mark said that they're looking at changing out some ram on it today. There must be a reason why it keeps crashing, and it seems to be getting worse and more frequent...

Looks like they are going ahead with the scheduled 3 day outage....

--- Quote ---Weekly Outage and Initial Catch Up
Every Tuesday morning (Pacific time) we begin a 3 day data distribution outage to focus on science processing and development plus any needed systems maintenance. The upload/download servers will be offline during this time. The web site (including the forums) will only be offline during the database maintenance and backup portion of the outage. On Friday, you may experience connectivity issues as the servers catch up with demand. 5 Oct 2010 16:34:36 UTC

That is an automated message........
It is unclear at this time whether they will actually have an extended outage or not.  I suspect if they can get mork back online, they would want to restart data distribution ASAP....due to all the recent downtime.  But that is purely my conjecture.

And Oscar is slated to replace thumper as the master science database....so they really still need to get mork sorted and stable.

Yeah but every time I look at the server status page it's different. Guess they are playing with everything while trying to get things working.
