Yes, I might as well go to bed. Planning on going to Hobby Lobby in the morning for some Christmas shopping. :~)

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

It's back, now the project is to report tasks and get new work.

I haven't got new WUs since it's been back...

Just started really flowing in the last 15 minutes or so, at least on 3 of 4 crunchers here.

Splitters are back on, and current result creation rate ** 0/sec 0.7441/sec 24.5418/sec is increasing. Also got a few dozens WUs.

Someone has been burning the midnight oil at Berkeley =:)

Given that this sort of pattern is "the norm" these days I think it may actually be an automated process - once the manual stuff has been done a cron job takes over and the databases and servers gradually come back to life in the correct sequence. Why sit in an empty lab (or wind up the ones other half by playing with your laptop) while watching for a massive task to complete so you can start the next when the computer can do it for you?

Because a vaillant scientist burning the midnight oil alone in his lab in the dead of the night, using headphones to listen to raw radiotelescope data and using a quill to write grant requests is more romantic, that's why ! What are you really trying to do, Rob ? Are you attempting to sell us the magic of reality ?

Jokes aside, thanks for your rectification; illuminating as always.

Just moved my computer out of the computer room and while cleaning stuff up before the move I found a non-descript box. Upon opening I was staring at eight Windows for Workstations v3.11 3.5 inch floppy disks. Anyone interested? :-)

Outage might be over by the time it installed :)

what's a floppy disk? :)

A miniscule cloud item. :)

I still have a set for OS2

Ah, I thought I would check to see if this thread will be ready for our moment of need tomorrow.

Posting before the Outrage!!! :-) :-D

Have TARDIS, will travel...
Come along K-9!
Join Calm Chaos
Pluto is still a planet

Checking in to see if anyone else in the USA is still has a Tryptophan hangover from last Thursday's Turkey over indulgence?

Maybe this will help with the drowsiness..... Coffee So Strong It Will Kill You

Checking in. The Seti system ran so well over the holidays that I'm hoping today will be a normal outage.

I'm also thinking I'll stick to my regular coffee...the kind that doesn't kill me.

8 am PST and still up, I'm with unixchick on the outage.

...AND, DOWN!!!!! :-O
