Well.......
It ain't comin' back up tonight, folks.
Best I get some sleep and check up on it in the morning.

No matter what some naysayers would have you believe, better days are coming.

Long live Seti.

Meow meow meow.

It's a rouge server that is dogging them.........not anything else they have done.

The master database server, mork....has stepped to the edge and looked down, and unfortunately, has jumped off.

There is nothing wrong with the project, it's goals, or it's means of achieving them.  It's just the freakin' hardware.  Which should be remedied as soon as they can get the new servers we have funded into the stable.

Keep the faitth, my friends, just keep the faith.......

It may still take some weeks before the new servers are online........

Please have faith.......it will come.

LOL...neither is my German......although it is the land of my daddy's mother and father.
Hope the Babelfish translator didn't mangle things too badly....LOL.

Eric confirmed to me this morning that mork is officially on the way out.  But they are rebuilding drive tables, resynching, and trying to get things back on the road as soon as they are able.

I wished him the best of luck with the bailing wire and duct tape until they can obtain a new server to replace mork.

Please, everybody.  Try to keep the faith whilst this major transition occurs.  There is gonna be a lotta pissing and moaning on the Seti boards when they come back up.
The folks here, I think, have a better grasp of the reality of the situation and a more positive attitude than some Seti participants do.  Could you please try to reflect that in your posts at Seti for the next few weeks?

It might help smooth some feathers during these rough times.

Thanks, and meow meow.

Mark and the kitties.

I thought i would give youall a dish on the newest kitty poem.........

Not yet published on Seti.


I saw a little kitty just the other day.......
She was walking across my driveway.  Going her way.
I tried to coax me up to where I was....
but she was set in her ways,
wouldn't let me near.

She was not a feral, that I know.
For she would not have even let me approach her so.
I put some food out, hoping the she
might come back the next day
and consider approaching me.

Next day came and went and I did not see
my little kitty friend come back
to say hello to me.

Couple of days later, and a mile or two away,
I was driving along....
and in the middle of the night,
A kitty in the middle of the road.

You know, those eyes that glow in the headlights.

I stopped, and stared......now could it be?
The same little kitten in my driveway that was looking at me?
Wheeled around and went back to the parking lot where
I had last seen her run.
But the lot was quite bare.

I started to search, with my car standing by,
and then another car parked alongside mine, Oh, my.
He took one look at myself crawling there
in the bushes.....oh, Lord, what is he doing there?

Turns out that the security system had eyes only for me,
and not the kitty that I was seeking could they see.
It was hard to explain that I was trespassing so
Only to seek out a kitten that would make my heart glow.

And then the lot turned quite bright, for you see.......
The cops where looking for not the kitty, but me.
Grilled me for about an hour or so.......maybe it was two.
Did not believe that I was just a simple kitty soul.


I am not sure t(dy really believed me.....but they had nothing else to do that night.
Kitty has not been seen since that day........
Frickin' cops, they have gone their own way.

The local gendarms finally let me go when they figured out I was not trying to loot the

place for kibble.


Sent a couple of prayers up to the kitty Gods.....
Asking for the return of the lost one I sought.
The prayer's not been quite answered of yet.
But I'm not sure tha Lord can recieve all he's sent.

But my history's been writ on the cop's local glow........
"This man is the kittyman......
Just let his ass go."

MSS.......10/18/10

It takes until it takes.........

Meanwhile, back at the kitty ranch......I was just thinkin'.........

Bought that n word I got banished  for a while back.

And I might say.........fuck anybody who cannot see the humour that Mel Brooks intended in this.l
Niggers excluded, of course.  I suspect there are not any nigges monitoring thiese threds right now who might take offense.
And any persons of dark skin,,,,,,,,,,thiis was not  directed at you....it was Mel,s poke at our sometimes bad hope of liberty at your expense.

Projects are down due to a database machine crash.
The machine that serves the BOINC database crashed. The projects are down until the recovery is complete. The current database machine has become too unreliable to continue as the primary DB server. We are going to move this functionality to the machine that is currently acting as the replica server. This will be a temporary fix, as this move will leave us with reduced throughput capacity. We are ordering a new replacement sever. This purchase is made possible by generous donations from SETI@Home participants.

"reduced throughput capacity" means getting (even) harder downloading WUs I guess...

I think it mostly means that it will be a less powerful machine.

jocelyn: Sun V40z (4 x 2.2GHz Opteron, 28 GB RAM) - Replica (Either 4 or 8 cores)
mork: Intel Server (4 x six-core 2.13GHz Xeon, 64 GB RAM) - Master (24 cores)

Less cores and less RAM until they can get the new servers in place.

I am so glad Mark had those two fund raisers. At least they have some cash to attempt a solid fix.
