after about 30 power cycles and 40 reboot commands and running a F5 end test, suddenly the link light came on.

Oh, there was a note on the door to set up an appointment. I think I shall because I think the box is wonky!

Anyway for a short period of time I have access. Of course SETI is down ...

I just watched 2010(sequel to 2001). The 80's cold war stuff sort of gets in the way of the story. I think they should have left that out.

We're working to clear an automated upgrade issue and may be down overnight.

It may very well be Jord's fault, he took the day off.

Well Clyde dithers uselessly therefore doing the opposite must be dithering usefully.

$ sudo rm Clyde.bot

Must be that they're trying to fix the login problem at Seti, as when you make a new account, or you change your password on an existing account, afterwards you won't be able to log in due to the password never being recognized. This means you can't add Seti to BOINC either!

As for POMM, I sent that in the day you requested it, but that's also the day that David went completely incommunicado. I can't help it, as it's something he'll have to do. But in the mean time, and to also make sure you don't post like that again, I'll banish your hide for 2 weeks. If after those two weeks it's still not fixed, we'll throw in the banish forever lot. That way your posts aren't visible to mortal lots, only to the gods.

You're back, we've missed you but Seti is still down,

Well, write into your calendar then that I'll be away August 1 - August 14, on vacation. I hope those Seti maintenance days will be prosperous.

Enjoy your holiday, I'm sure some here will ;-)

I've just realised my calendar is still saying its May. I have fixed it. Thanks to Jord

I haven't fixed what just happened in my kitchen though. The perpetrators are just giving me those blank, it-must-have-just-happened-all-by-itself stares.

So I'll be awhile *wave listlessly at everyone*

Freshly buttered and jammed toast always does that when it lands on the floor, or the cat, sticky side down.
(Noting of course that it wouldn't land on any self respecting dog, as the dog's mouth would open and the whole assembly would vanish with one contented gulp)

8 AM PDT and still down, enjoy.
@ Jord, enjoy your vacation and I hope your going to a somewhat cool climate.

Looks like the automated upgrade hosed things up pretty good at SETI. Sending the staff my best wishes and thoughts for a quick recovery.

Well, hold on, I know y'all want rid of me, but it's still only in three weeks time. We're doing day-trips to sight-seeing places, because we have two elderly cats that need medication in the morning and evening, and we can't ask a neighbor to do that. (The last time we asked him, our guinea pig died...)

As you all should know it's still down and I'm having a nice bump on Einstein.

:(

was it something we said? It's strictly on a catch and release basis... I'm not planning on eating it or anything...

Please don't. Then you would need to swallow a spider to get it. As it wiggled, tiggled and tickled inside you.

Hey again!

Looks like we just updated... sort of

If you check you will notice that the time stamp is "live" so always shows current UTC

I'm curious, what's the longest time Seti has been down for?
