Sorry folks – last Thursdays storm knocked down a large portion of Washington State’s power grid and I just now got the lights back on. Team Warped Towers suffered from downed trees, no heat and water, and worst of all, no septic system.
Some of the downed trees came within inches of destroying buildings on my property and that of my immediate neighbors, so this was pretty serious.
The good news for the Team Warped membership is that I am investing in a standby generator to handle such emergencies in the future. The Genrac guy should be out tomorrow to give me a quote. I am tired of camping out in my own home.
Anyway, Cowboy is back up and running and your stats should recover in a week or two. They really weren’t affected by the Cowboy outage, since you still submit work directly to Distributed.net, even if Cowboy is off line.
Write me if you have any questions.
Happy holidays!
Kevin
Howdy, Kevin –
Hope you had a good holiday. That standby generator is a nice little christmas present.
You should notice a few of my long lost cows coming back online. I’ve finally found time to fix the nagging issues. TyanXeon was offline due to a repeated lockup problem – turns out that the fan on the second CPU quit, resulting in overheating and unexplained thermal shutdowns. That was a fun one to diagnose!
Look for more cows to appear soon!
Andrew
Andrew,
Good news on your herd. There is some stiff competition nipping at our heels and every last CPU cycle counts.
I am adding more machines (actually reviving old dead ones) as time permits.
Happy new year to you and all the lurkers.
