>News< Commentary for Friday, August 22nd

Friday was a slow day for everyone (not just TN) due to hardware problems at Berkeley. One of their CPU's failed and caused system crashes, outages, etc, and it will require another outage to replace the failed one they removed. Our current overall team position is shown as 110, some 204 w00ts behind Georgia Tech. We will STOMP them Saturday, for sure! Our final mark for Friday was 566,547 with 1467 returned for the day. Keep up the good show of crunching, Ninjas!! We have what it takes to move ahead!

We are going to miss the efforts of Bob Young over the next two weeks as he will be away on vacation and have many of his crunchers idled. Have a great time, Bob! Be safe, enjoy, and come back refreshed and ready to take up the slack! :)

Milestones: none attained on this day

STOMP report: no STOMPS to report on this day

:lol: Good show m8 :cowboy: Gotta get this posted before Meady, I'll edit it in a minute... :lol:


I'm impressed that we did so well, in spite of :xpopworm: & BKLY... that means a lot of m8's were manning their machines...! :nod:

Good holiday Bob, I'll miss the dance of the R&B team... don't be surprised when you come back... who's ahead of you, in the slack.

Great report, HG - thanks for that.

The fact that we managed 1467 w00ts yesterday is miraculous considering the problems berkeley were having.

Thank you for the POD. My fleet is down by a third at the moment, but my two Flagships are happily crunching away. It's just nice to know my SetiQueue managed to force them through without losing any. :nod:

Onwards and ever upwards, Ninjas! :D

Doc, that's not a prayer for rain (dalek elixir) is it? Last time I checked, an elixir was an aromatic mixture of alcohol and water used as a medium for medicine. Please, no more rain!!! :D
