Will now check if you gave more details at the setiathome.berkeley.edu site (if it isn't already in its scheduled maintenance mode).

I'm feeling better now. my heart failure has stabilized now,
thanks to the care from heart function clinic.

after my two weeks of hospitalization.
I hope you are all well.

Re: Planned Maintenance on Tuesday, July 10, from 14:00 UTC

We have finally restored normal operations. As Keith mentioned this update 
did not go as planned and some of the firmware updates took considerably longer 
to run then expected.

The two servers mentioned above are still not updated. One of them we have left 
in the hands of the server techs who are working to resolve the issue. The other 
we booted back in the old firmware so that we could come back online. We will 
have to take another outage on another day to update this. However, since both 
servers were experiencing the same issue, hopefully they can figure out the issue 
on the one and then we will take another outage to update the second server it 
will go quickly.

Thank you all for your patience on this issue.

Greetings everyone,

The kernel updates are still progressing, however they are going slower 
than anticipated. Currently the website is operational, but the BOINC 
functionality is currently offline. We are working to get things up and
 going as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and participation 
in World Community Grid

Thanks,
-Uplinger

Two of the machines did not come back with properly installed kernels. We are working with the hosting group to get them updated. All other servers have been updated with kernel and OS updates. We went ahead and did kernel updates as well during this outage to help prevent another outage needed in the future.

Thanks,
