Power Up/Down/Up/Down/Up/Down/Up  |
|
The storms that passed through the central USA cause three separate power failures today in my area and the UPS did not have time to recharge between them. So, I had to power everything off during the last outage. I was in the process of getting the backup generator up and running when the power came back on. Now that the UPS is charged back up and the Collatz database checked out OK, everything is back online.

| Network Back Online |
|
We experience a network outage that started yesterday at 3:00 PM CST and lasted until this 8:00 AM CST this morning. Not being able to do anything online last night and not having cable, I went to see Iron Man 2 last night. Just as the big fight seen started at the end, the theater lost all power. Let's hope today fares better.

| New applications |
| I plan to release the new applications (CPU intensive and non intensive) the next weekend (June 6th).
There will be no workunits until then.

The (re-)discovery page has been updated to include the latest observations made by the search for binary pulsars in Arecibo Observatory data. In total there are now 144 re-observations of 88 different radio pulsars, including 14 re-observations of 7 different milli-second pulsars. Thanks to all participating volunteers!

Server Down Tonight
Due to essentiall electrical work the LHC@HOME server
will suffer network inturruptions this evening. The server will
remain on but the network links will go down and we hope will come
back up! I expect the work to take about 2 hours and happen sometime
between 18:00 BST Tuesday to 06:00 BST Wednesday.
Sorry about this.

| Our 50th factorization! |
| 5,427+ is factored. The composite cofactor was the product of 54-digit and 145-digit prime numbers. This is the project's 50th completed factorization! Let's continue working toward another 50! |

| Credits |
I do not know yet where the latest tons of credit some users got come from.
Now I stopped the stats export and I'm going to reset the credits to the values they had some days before.
Anyway, all hosts and users have a per-day limit of 5000 and 50000 credits from now on. This also makes several manipulation techniques
in some team forums senseless. We can also make a new voting for this limit if you think it is too high or too low. But there will
definitely be a per-user limit.

| Why you don't see reported results |
Since the Pentathlon several users complained about the fact that reported results are not shown in the web interface.
I have to ensure that the SQL database doesn't grow too much (everything would be too slow then),
so the validator-assimilator (it's one daemon at Freehal instead of two to be faster)
validates the results during a few seconds after uploading. So you probably won't see successful results.
It also seems that for some users only the 'user' and 'team' credits have been updated when results are validated, and not the 'host' entry.
I hope this bug is fixed now, please report it in the forum if you have problems.
