I was wondering why I couldn't even get the Seti@home website yesterday. Looks like someone cut the fiber optic line. Sounds like a Roswell cover up to me. Right now the following message is on http://www.net.berkeley.edu/setiathome / At about 3:30 AM PST on 27 February an optical fiber cable connecting the U.C. Berkeley campus with the The broken fiber carries data and voice connections for LBNL and also for the Space Sciences Lab. SSL is where Contractors are pulling new cable now. It's expected that service to SSL will be restored by Friday, 2 March 2001. IP: Logged |

"Somebody set up us the bomb!" Yes I have 3 WU waiting in the queue, but my 486 is still happily crunching along at its 130 hrs analysis. "Vandals" cut up the cabe? I cam imagine a street gang saying "who wants to cut up some Internet copper cable today?" IP: Logged |

No more unit left to crunch, 14unit waiting to upload. My Athlon 650 is now having a nice sleep at night, 24hrs 7days a week for the last 8 months, with no down time, CPU dedication: 91.2%, Seti@Home

I was lucky - I had been playing with the cache settings on SetiGate just before the outage, and instead of the usual 5 WU's for the Celeron 500 & 3 WU's for the k6-2-400, I doubled the number I had cached on both. I still have 3 left on the Celeron (13hrs/wu) & 3 on the k6-2 (25hrs/wu), so I still have almost 2 days left before I get upset. David IP: Logged |

I have 5 WU's waiting on my system, and 1 on my older K6-2 500 system. I just want them to get this done as quickly as possible. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yep, it looks like we're back in business boys and girls. The Seit websight works. I just tried uploading some WU's and I could not upload all of them. That is to be expected. When you think about it, this whole situation is pretty amazing. If Seti was a dot com their stock price would be a fire sale right now. As is I bet all this fiber optic work on a Saturday cost Berkley a pretty penny. All because of some bums stealing copper. Oh how fragil the digital word is. IP: Logged |
