Don't worry Troy I'm still crunching away. Except for that rig that probably went to crunchers heaven today. Was the first rig I built as well.

Is that the one you fired a shotgun at?

[phicks]

Not yet

[Zema Bus]

Not yet

So what happened with it?

[phicks]

Nothing happens with it. Just the light on the mobo comes on and nothing else. Tried to turn it on this morning and the cpu fan started to kick in then stopped and that was it. Made sure nothing had been jarred loose or anything but everything looks ok. Will have to have a good look at it tomorrow. I need something else to do at the moment.

I just brought an old zombie back from the wreakers for the latest push and it hasn't earned a decent cache yet. This isn't gonna help.

[_V_R_]

BOINC servers now back online.

I heard your Boinc is down. So does mean you are not Boinc-ing anymore? I like to Boinc and if you are not going to Boinc, we will have problems. Maybe we can Boinc together and produce some nice results? Muahahaaa

It may be down for now but I'll never stop Boinc-ing! If you're up for Boinc-ing, we can Boinc together anytime you're ready to Boinc baby! I'll Boinc with you any day!

I just tried again - project is down. So I am still dead in the water.

Hmm, that's strange Mike as they are saying at WCG it's up now.

The outage has been resolved. The hosting facility was able to get someone to reboot the server. This allowed us to connect remotely and fix the problem. Work is being sent out now and results are being validated.

[Zema Bus]

[~Jan~]

Been down for me all day too, & can't get it up

That's a damn shame!

[Zema Bus]

That's a damn shame!

Help me Jan, help me!

I wonder if we'll be idle until after Xmas? Sure a bad time for things to go wrong - right before Xmas with the server in the middle of a snow storm with limited staff:

Our servers are located at a hosting facility in Boulder, CO (USA). Unfortunately, the problem affecting the BOINC servers requires someone to have physical access to the servers. Boulder is in the middle of a significant snow storm and no-one is able to travel at this time. Additionally due to the snow storm the hosting facility is operating with significanly reduced staff. As a result it may be awhile before we are able to resolve this problem.

We sincerely apologize for the touble.

This problem only affects BOINC clients.

Please note that no work will be lost. Also for work returned after the deadline please note that there is a 2 day grace period so your work will still be accepted.

This problem has reappeared - we are working on it now.
[Dec 22, 2006 12:06:20 AM]

As of the time of this post, the BOINC server remains down. I can't provide a good estimate of when it will be back up.

As a result of the BOINC server being down, the web servers were also down causing the site to be unavailable for approximately 7 hours ending about 20 minutes ago.

[Troy]

I thought you were getting a satellite.

Still figuring out all my options and trying to find out if there is any more DSL choices.
Probably wont make a move until the holidays are over, and I get my taxes filed.

[phicks]

Hope you get something going.

[Troy]

Gone through my cache of WU's already!

Now crunching with UD Agent. But the WCG websites down so i cant change the CPU throttle to 100% from the 60% default! Not to mention the UD Agent doent support dual core CPU's......

I hope they fix it soon....

[phicks]

V_R I have the app to change the cpu throttle but don't know how to attach it. I got it earlier because I'm getting close to running out as well. Is a shame I will only have one core crunching though.

Maybe I could email it or something.

[phicks]

V_R hurry the WCG site is back up again before it goes again.

_V_R_, there's a way to run two instances of the UD agent if you're running XP on a multi-core or multi processor machine, I used to do it back in our team's UD days. It works using XP's fast user switching, and setting the 2nd copy to run in Windows NT 4.0 Compatibility Mode. I know this is a temp situation but if you'd want to do that & if you aren't familiar with it I can dig up the details for ya.

[The Hermit]

I've got about 8 hours worth of cache left.

Guess I should've left the cache at 6 days worth, eh?

[Dark Angel]

I'm starting to feel the pinch here as well.
