November 29, 2008 Server back up after Thanksgiving outage Once again, the ghosts in the machine attacked when everybody was out of town for Thanksgiving,rendering the server non-functional until someone could make it back in town. After replacing the network switch and the NIC, and applying a hefty dose of holy water to ward away any further geist attacks, the server is up again.

Moving to new application November 30, 2008 We're starting the move to only using the new application. No new workunits will be generated for the old application (however the old assimilator and validator will keep running until all the old workunits have been processed (so you'll still get credit for those). We'll be updating with a version 0.5 tonight which will fix the checkpoint error that's being output (it's just cosmetic). We'll also put out a binary for FreeBSD along with that. Since we've made the source code available, we'll only be supporting binaries for FreeBSD, Linux, OS/X and Windows, so if you're using something more obscure than that you'll have to compile it yourself because we don't have regular access to those types of systems. We've had some discussion and the new WUs should be a bit more computationally intense, which should help with the server problems we've been having. Not to mention that moving away from the old app and it's server side daemons will also help our server load issues. http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/
Milkyway v0.5 Bug November 30, 2008 There was a bug in milkyway v0.5 that was causing it to crash when it started up. I've fixed it and released the code for 0.6 and am updating the binaries.
