Nice Gregor, but after 2, 3 or wazzit 4 days already now I just
managed to ping the Seti svr again and managed to fetch 12 classic
WU's again, which at least will keep my main machine busy for 2 days.

Seems you have a cache running, so you aren't the audience I'm
offering my queue :-) It's for those who haven't a cache-programm
running.
The News on SETIatHome don't sound very good. The tests with the UPSs 
aren't as good as expected. Still problems with the cables:

The UPS communication cables arrived and we spent a fair amount of
time trying to get the UPSes to work. No dice. We tried everything
(even going so far as to beep out the cables to make sure the pinouts
were correct). Since it was wasting too much time we bailed and
restarted the project for now. We'll likely shut it down for the
evening again in a few hours. 

So, I hold my offer, as long as the servers are up again - no servers,
no WUs.

The 3 machines running Boinc/Seti I dunno yet, I can't just try to
connect with them between sessions where Boinc decides to defer
communications for 2 hrs.... so mebbe the 3 Boinc machines will
catchup later this nite too.... they've been idling around for 3 or 4
days too. At least 1 machine here is back to crunching :-)

You lucky guy, my BOINC Cache is empty and I'm not able to
up-/download any WUs :-(
