Just to let you all know I'm going to Malawi (Africa) on Sunday, for four weeks :D

Reason for pointing this out is that the signatures I provide (fahstat.piggott.me.uk) are hosted by a server running in my bedroom; as such for four weeks with nobody around to monitor it, there's always a chance of it dieing and if it does, you'll now know why, and when it is likely to be fixed.

The server is hooked up to a UPS and in turn a diesel generator so should be fine but thought I'd just let people know anyway (other things can fail...) :)

Mr. Brightside :)

We always knew there was something a little strange about that guy :p :D


Have a great time null/piggot/Mr. Brightside - hopefully the sigs will be fine but if not I'm sure nobody will be too put out by it :)
 
Glad you had a good time. :)

The sigs went down a couple of days ago for a short time but apart from that no problems.

As for what youved missed, nothing amazing springs to mind. Although news is now on Friday, and we all counted a pile of matchsticks for some reason.
 
Welcome back! :)


Yup the siggies did go down for a little while but that was a problem at Stanford's end so nothing you could have done about it - all 3rd party stats were borked that day anyway :p
 
And again... this time to Cornwall for 2 weeks! In fact this will have been the only week of the holidays I've had at home!

Server was down for a couple of hours yesterday actually, upgraded the motherboard, CPU and RAM (2.0GHz Celeron --> 2.4GHz Celeron, 256mB SDRAM --> 512mB DDR, Motherboard which doesn't support autoboot after powerfailure --> Motherboard which does support autoboot after powerfailure)

Mr. Brightside :)
 
Have a good holiday - and I've a 1.8 P4 going spair if you want it - Socket 478 if that's any good for you (should out proform a 2.4 celly) I'm sure I've some sdram as well if you've any spair slots.

bung us a quid or two for the postage and it's yours.
 
:mad:

Sorry about that. Just got back and it's all sorted now. Turns out the stupid thing had decided to reboot without reason, and then in doing so got confused what speed the CPU is rated at and so had been sat there for two weeks on the BIOS setup screen waiting for somebody to confirm the speed.

Credit averages will be off for a week due because FAHStat was ofc unable to update during the time it was mobbing up. Next update is midday, and the credit averages will be calculated using the difference between credit when it went down and credit after the update, divided by 14 days (then 15 day averages, then 16, then 17, then 18 day, then 3 day, then 4, 5, 6 and back to 7.. :p)

Mr. Brightside :)
 
I must point out that I don't actually Fold on the server (I've hardly got any cooling in it, to keep the noise down at night), but if you're still happy with it going in a non-cruncher, and you want it out of the way, I can't really refuse :D - might even stop that new mobo from getting confused about speeds.

Mail in trust to arrange postage if you're still OK with it, thanks :)
