Easynews goes down

[Movieman]

Something is not right with the numbers. Easynews had about a million less than normal. Did the Borg blow a fuse?

Yea, I did a double take when I saw that..
No reason I can see but hey, it cuts their lead by 1.4 mil in one day and thats a plus.
The lesser work for them is a minus overall but hey, I'll take the 1.4 mil and smile!

[sierra_bound]

Well, that's a huge one day drop. So I'm not sure I trust the numbers.

[MotF Bane]

They're setting up a buffer, and going to go nuts in honor of.... December 11?

[ShootStraight]

Wonder if it might be weather related? Lotsa folks in the midwest without go-juice.

A large power outage would have affected other teams as well, including ours. Their output began dropping on Sunday and really fell today. Very odd.

[ShootStraight]

You could be right. Odd is right. Another project? Or did they yank their free BW?

[sierra_bound]

I just looked at their website. They still offer free gigs for running WCG. I hope they weren't borging machines from a large institution that suddenly cut them off. I'll try to think positive thoughts.

[Movieman]

We'll see what happens tomorrow..
Maybe a glitch somewhere and it will reverse..

they're buffering !!! watch out

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

Can a team like that really buffer? I mean could you get thousands of people to change settings in their PC when theyre probably only in it for free stuff, and not the DC itself.

Looks like they only got credit today for the Boinc client and not the UD client. Perhaps to help celebrate my reaching 200 million tomorrow?

I think they need to do a lot more than that to celebrate such an amazing milestone DDT...AMAZING...

Congrats on that one!!

Is it possible that WCG has shut down the UD client?

One more quad for the cause

Just got going with another quad running 9x385 with the evaluation copy of Server 2008 64 bit. I'm going to see how this does "points wise" against my other quad at 3.6 with XP 32 bit.

EDIT: Here it is in action. It's in my garage right now with about 60f ambient.

Congrats!!!

While I'm here, did anybody notice that we were up over Easynews by 1.4 mill again today? Am I hallucinating? Should I be happy or afraid - vvvvery afraid?

We Broke Their Spirit! Chargeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

[ShootStraight]

Actually, i think this is a maintenance issue with the UD server. Its affecting a bunch of teams. Not us of course.

[sierra_bound]

That might explain the drop. The UD maintenance period is over. So if they're numbers don't increase on Wednesday, then it's probably something else. Also, there were shorter maintenance periods last week which didn't seem to affect them that much.

[DDTUNG]

That did give us a nice buffer of 3 million plus points. I wonder when the next maintenance will take place. Maybe I can crash their server.

DDTUNG

[G.Foyle]

well, if all our farms made some DoS there...

let's stick to fair competition, we can beat em badly without any maintenance or whatever.

DDTUNG

For you that would not be hard to do.

[Sparky]

now now, no foul play we can beat them fair and square

[Movieman]

Yup, agreed..This is the patience part..A long rundown, slow but it will happen.
There will be good days and bad ones but there will be a day where we pass EasyNews.
