One of the good things when you use the spoofed client is you could wait until the servers are back and stable. By doing that we actually help the rest of the users by not asking work while all are asking at the same time. Now is close to 6 PM here, my host will only start to ask for new work after 11 PM. So you guy's could fill your caches first. I could take some more rounds on the pub without any problem. When i return, if by 11 PM the system still not stable (14 hours after it stop to ask new work at 9 AM or about 15 hours of outage) i will set it to NNT and wait until tomorrow morning.

Did anyone knows where is the moon? ... Just in case.

Big earthquake near Jamaica. 7.7 Not sure if they felt it in Puerto Rico. First I hope all are safe and well, but I also hope all is good for our Aricebo .

Caribbean earthquake of 7.7 triggers tsunami warnings suggests it's far enough away (other side of the Dominican Republic) not to be too damaging and the Tsunami shouldn't reach that high. Not good for the people and infrastructure of Puerto Rico, though - bang goes the power supply again, I expect.

And not many days after they just recovered from the last earthquake swarm which started on Dec 28th, with the strongest one on Jan 7th, as can be seen from the telescope schedule:

Well, let's hope that's the backup done. Now to put it all back together again...

Fingers crossed.
