Seti is down again

[msattler]

Just keeping myself amused whilst the crunchers do their thing........

Was perusing youtube.....
Got into a loop about the gay boy from Milwaukee......you know, the town that made beer famous, or was it the other way around?

Anyways, there was this young kid from the suburbs named Liberace......(as the clip goes, first name and last)...

I remember as a kid watching his show on TV.  We all waited for the highlight number of the week, and he never disappointed.  I have bookmarked about a dozen of them, which I would rather wait and share on Seti rather than duplicate them here.

But this one is kinda special...so I will.
A cliip he did on the Smothers Brothers show......  "Do yo know how fast you were playing???"

[msattler]

Still one of my favorite movies of all time........and one of my favorite actors.
I guess hes has directed another movie coming out soon.....
But his career is so long and storied that I can't even begin to discuss it here.
Clint Eastwood.
From Dirty Harry hell and back, he has been there.  And with class.  I guess the scuttlebutt around the set is that he is as wonderful a man as a director as he was an actor.

You go, Clint.

Can't fault you on your choice of possibly the best film ever made.

To borrow from this and imaging Eric working late in the lab pinned to the wall by Mork and saying to Matt ......

'Whatever you do, don't put the RAM back ......"
"Now push with all your might ..........."

Of course by now some Setizens are probably saying  "A riot is an ugly thing and it is about time we had one!!"

Look where thats getting the French!

Live long and prosper ............

Forums are back up and Jeff has posted this in Tech news:

The good news is that forums are up and the projects will be up soon.

The bad news is that the work limits will be quite restrictive for a while. This is because we swapped the boinc mysql db master and replica servers. The master had been mork and mork has just become too unreliable The new master is jocelyn and it has less than half the memory of mork.

The good news is that the bad news is temporary, because yesterday we ordered a new mork! It should be here in a couple of weeks. Details on this will follow. BTW, we also ordered the new science db server!

We'll have to feel out the outage schedule over the next few weeks. Thank you for your amazing support and your patience.

[msattler]

Well.......
It looks like we've crashed jocelyn.

Well.......
It looks like we've crashed jocelyn.

Given the present circumstances and huge demand, it wasn't that hard to break her down. Even without 3+ day outages, 14 months ago, she was barely up to the job. It is sad that this happened without any downloads and can only hope that the problem is a flaw in the current configuration of the server settings.

The seti-server aktivity is very binary!
0 = crash
1 = working
0 = crash
1 = working
If Moore's Law right, the frequency will be very fast in the next two years ...

[VoidPilot]

fyi...you can upload wus at the moment...no wus down though...

Judging from the Cricket graphs, uploads have been going on all along......but no reporting or downloads.  I have stranded downloads waiting on almost all rigs.  Gotta get jocy back up....not sure if it will happen yet tonight or not until tomorrow.

[VoidPilot]

uploads were down earlier in the week...boxes going dry (1 empty now, others not far off)...

the problem is going to be getting wus...everyones machines will hammer the servers...and there will be ghosts galore...

i can only see the ghost problem getting worse at the moment...

Probably.......
If server constipation makes ghosts, having jocelyn on duty can only make it worse.

We can only hope to hold out for a few more weeks until the masked man arrives with Tonto..........

[Frizz]

Why not just detach for a month or two? Until the new HP boxes arrive. This is what I will do ... I'm no masochist  

Quoting Papa:
"I have set No New Tasks. ... So the next time you push that Update Button, ask yourself if you are going to be the straw that broke the camels back?"

This trend is self-destructing. There will be no harm to servers if there will be no participants. But there will be no data processing as well. In short - "no brain no pain"

IMO not a way to go.
