Latest Seti news.......
msattler:
Uhhhhhhhh.....
This is a little grim.
Not pretty, but you might as well hear it from the kittyman rather than scuttlebutt down the road.
Eric informs me that mork has now been officially declared brain dead.........
Taken out of service entirely.
Leaving his cousin jocelyn to take over. Which is not a good thing, as she's a little wimpy.
There is gonna be a rough road ahead for a couple of weeks until the new server is in place.
Sounds like HP came through with some kinda discount,,,,,,about 20%......which is good.
So the new server specs are totally in disarray.
This is gonna be a very hard time for Seti.....
I trust t hat those here are wise enough to understand and not try to run their mouths off about how badly things are going. Facts, not bullshit, will carry us through this.
I am sad for the present term, but the kitties are dancing for the future.
It's gonna be a very bright day when it comes.
It really is.
Geek@Play:
Thanks for the info Mark.
I'm sure Eric and Matt will make sure that they purchase equipment that is more than adequate for the job. Thanks to HP for the 20% discount.
A bright future is in store for SETI hopefully in a few weeks time. And thanks to you Mark for having the foresight to run the two funding drives before the total crash. Without your help it would be a very bleak picture for SETI.

Shit.......it wasn't me........
I just presented the truth and the need, and the rest of you responded,
I dropped a K note in the pot when I could.
I just can't anymore.
My freakin' car died, I am driving the RX, which should be in the shop by now, and things are not pretty.......
Bkut I have poured 10 years of my life into this thing, and, by God, I am gonna see it through.
msattler:
We need a diversion.........
I don't do windows, so honey, don't even ask.
But.........I am pretty good at drinkin' beer.
Crack one and settle back, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.d
I luv you all sooo much that I can't quite express it..
Those that care will understand my feeble means of saying so.

Yes, thanks for the news Mark, no matter it is not the best. I hope Jocelyn doesn't slow us down too much. I would imagine the server specs being up in flux as the boys decide how to utilize the great discount from HP. Having the servers cost 20% less than they expected means they can load them up with even more goodies!! ;D I'm sure looking forward to seeing what they end up with.
I wonder though if it would be possible to cannibalize Mork and Mindy to come up with one that could hold us through. I guess that would probably be more trouble than it is worth for just the relatively short time till the new servers arrive. They might do that later just to have it as a backup in case one of the other older servers bites the dust. These last two fund drives have been really something, seeing how so many people really care for our project but we can only give so much. I think the old saying "give until it hurts" has been reached. It will probably be quite some time before most of us can give again.
