Seti is down again
Richard Haselgrove:
Not much point in having a network if there isn't a live server on the other end of it ;D (and if they were my servers, I don't think I'd try to run them off a genny)
Still, the AirBears will be happy...

Agreed,
Brad has posted this at the GPUUG: Update on SETI @ Home Outage
--- Quote ---Here's a quick update on the outage for interested parties:
A 15kV underground power line heading from the campus power substation to the hill that houses the SETI at Home lab shorted out around 2030 on Tuesday night. PG&E, the local power company, has spent the last two days crawling the line from manhole to manhole looking for the problem. Apparently while looking for the first short, they managed to cause another short in the line.
PG&E has suggested power should be back working this (Thursday) afternoon however understandably this may not happen on schedule. Please also keep in mind that it may take some time for the lab to get back into full swing due to this unexpected shutdown.
Thanks go to Dr. Eric Korpela for the above information and for taking the time to fill us in.
Warmly,
Brad Deauman.

After the power is back on, I'm willing to bet that there will be at least 15 threads started in Q&A and NC because people couldn't
1) return work
2) upload work
3) get new work
4) I started using BOINC but nothing is happening.
To those future people I'll say this...Really?

Oh, and here's another good thought for everyone to think about, too. IF it comes back up this afternoon/evening (Thursday), somebody will have to go into the lab after-hours and bring everything back up and make sure it is all coming up gracefully.
Or.. wait until the morning to bring everything back up, spend most of the day doing integrity checks, and then two minutes after they walk out the door on a Friday afternoon.. well we all know that routine.
It might be Monday afternoon before things are working semi-smoothly, and then it's time for the Tuesday maintenance only a few hours later.
