Tomorrow is Friday again. Let's see if my suspicions about how they handle sending out "new" tasks during weekends proves correct.

Did someone make a mistake? My job-cache was still full after a weekend away.

Nah, they restarted early.

Stopped mid-afternoon Saturday, restarted late afternoon Monday.

There was no new tasks at all sent out over the weekend. New work (MCM _0 and_1 for example) stopped Friday just before 17:00 hours
Toronto time. My last new MCM was Friday 19:57:07 UTC. New SCC work lasted a bit longer. After that it was only resends going out, until
even those dried up on Saturday. New MCM work dried up almost at the same time as the WCG team went home for the weekend.

However relatively early Monday, they started to send out lots of new work. There's plenty of complaints in many threads on the WCG
forum that nobody got any new tasks over the weekend. Also resends were very scarce this weekend. Most peoples caches became
totally dry.

Saturday and my MCM1s are coming to and end but just got a load of SCC1s so looking good for the rest of the weekend.

And still no recent updates on ARP.

Communications from the WCG team, is getting worse than before, (if that is even possible).

Website borked again.

Edit: servers still seem to be working OK.

Well.....
On their Face Plant page the headlines are:

The WCG website is currently down as the datacentre where our servers reside must perform an emergency reboot. This reboot only impacts the website, and will last about 30 minutes.

This was posted three hours ago (as I type), and that's a lot more than 30 minutes.........

Maybe they should have said, "30 hours?" or even "30 days?"

This reboot only impacts the website

Cough cough. now down to three cores with work which will be two in less than two minutes and none in half an hour if they don't get a move on.

Faceache now has the following,

We are aware that the WCG website is still down following yesterday's reboot. We are in communication with the data centre and will continue to provide updates as we gain more information.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Workflow seems to have resumed however.

Nothing here & unable to access website.

Same result from Texas. No website & not able to contact/reach BOINC servers for WCG.

Getting no tasks available on all the ones I have ticked with them at the moment. Happened yesterday for a while but after about an hour I got more work but contacting servers seems OK, just Website still down.

The latest on their Faceache page.

Forums and user login will not work until the data center is able to resolve an ongoing issue with the website database server. At this time the admins have been able to resolve issues with all other affected servers. We were informed that a 30 minute downtime would be required for emergency maintenance of the cloud yesterday, and afterwards additional issues presented and the webserver has not been able to communicate with the website database server since then. We will be in a position to stand up a second instance of the website database to provide some redundancy in case of similar circumstances in the future, once this situation is resolved. We apologize again for the inconvenience.

Another way to say "We don't have any redundancy in our current setup. It's all or nothing right now, but is something we're considering for the future."

Sometimes being too cost effective can be detrimental to a business.

Website online again, but statitics not completly updated.

Seems to be out of work bar resends. Past 48 hours nothing but _2 and _3 tasks, sometimes getting no tasks available message.
