We are in process of making network changes which may have affected your SETI@home client's ability to connect to our servers. If you are having trouble, try this.

Technical News:

I've been a bit distracted lately as my car was stolen over the weekend. That's life in the big city. This morning a friend of mine stumbled upon it parked right there in the street a few miles away so I spent the afternoon dealing with the police and getting it towed to a garage (the ignition was all messed up). Ugh.

Anyway.. some good news. Bob may have gotten to the core of our database query problems, which is just in time as it seems other BOINC projects may be experiencing similar behavior as their databases swell. Basically it may just be as simple as adjusting database variables so specific queries won't keep whole tables in memory just in case updates are made during potentially long lookups. These queries don't require super-accurate information (like the result/workunit counts on the server status page), so if they are off by one or two out of a half million, so be it.

The boinc.berkeley.edu server upgrade got bumped again due to me and Jeff's crazy schedules. We'll get to that soon, I swear.

Appart for Anandtech's stats, it shows how much more/less than Anandtech.
Also shows based on Average Work Done how many days for Anandtech to overtake the team, or be overtaken by a team behind...
