Seti is down again

Looks like the space sciences lab is down once again.

Yep.

I'm not much of a limit supporter, but I wonder whether the sudden opening of flood gates was very wise?

  It's Diablo 3 fans began to connect to all available servers because of hopelessness and put SETI down..

Looks like the space sciences lab is down once again.

Agreed, all of it including BOINC and other non-SETI research projects. Maybe a power outage for the building...

I thought they fired that cleaning guy! 

[arkayn]

Definitely unscheduled.

Got some authoritative news.

It is a short at a substation causing a power outage to the hill area where the Space Sciences lab is located. Traffic signals are out on the hill, all the homes in that area have no power.

That was posted as 'current' about half an hour ago. Since the cricket graph flatlined well over 12 hours ago, they obviously need to do a lot more than just reset a breaker. Even once power is available, there'll be a lot of checking to do as the servers spin up again. Don't expect much SETI action today.

Thanks, Richard, for that bit of news.
And thanks for that link, arkayn.  First time I saw that one.

I got it from barry over on my site.

Ooops, misunderstood what you'd got. Forget I posted that.

With all those raccoons hanging around the Korpela estate, you'd think they would set up some little treadmills and get them to generate some juice for the lab....

I hope somebody didn't try to steal the wire from the active substation. This guy in the article was unlucky.

and where did he think he'd be able to sell that wire had he not been burned beyond recognition. 

Plans should have a beginning middle and end.  You should have considered the end at the beginning.  Now he's near death, and most likely will not make a complete recovery.  If he does he's another waste of time headed into a court room.

BTW San Bernadino is near Los Angeles so it is unlikely this had anything to do with the Berkeley incident

Maybe the wrong place to say this but I miss the SETI forum
