Pigeons (Oct 24 2007)

More of the same from yesterday. Getting the SETI gang ramped up on the wiki. When there's actual content I'll announce it. I had to screw around with the BOINC database a couple times. First, there was a minor issue with the my.cnf file, but the server has to be stopped/restarted to enact any changes (which meant quickly bringing the project down and back up). We're also continuing to have mod polarity issues due to DNS round robin not working as it should (one scheduler has plenty of work in its queue, the other gets pegged at zero so clients connecting to it are erroneously told we are out of work, etc.). We need a better solution instead of continually reversing the polarity "by hand" (changing command line options on the feeders and restarting them). We tried "balance" which may ultimately be our best bet, though I don't like that our apache logs only reflect the IP address of the balance server (and the IP addresses of the connecting clients). Anyway... What else... oh yeah... The connection client type page *was* working, it just was firing up the same time as the web log rotater, so it was analyzing empty log files. Ha ha.

Suddenly some pigeons are nesting right outside the lab. Every so often I feel like I'm being watched, and I turn to find a pigeon standing on the other side of the window next to my desk, staring intently at me ("what is that funny monkey doing in there?").

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

LoL ... Thanks for the news and the stats, Rattledagger!

 

[bryanW1995]

I think that I need some of matt's stash to get me through the next couple of weeks!

I'm telling you, if we keep this up we can reconquer taiwan! and italy, phoenix, arstechnica...even, dare I say, the Universe (examiners).
