Important notice: TA Cube Pproxy

[Russ]

The server will be offline this Sunday, 3/11/01 between 6PM and 8PM Pacific for upgrades. Your clients will automatically fallback to Dnet, so don't worry about losing any production or doing randoms.

I'm doing some upgrades; bumping the RAM from 256MB to 512MB, adding a second 9.1GB hard drive and yes, a UPS just in case another one of those pesky earthquakes happens by.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Schola]

hmm, thanks for the heads up Russ

[Zorn]

Sweet...now the proxy will load even faster the 1500 times a day I check it.

Thanks again for the ip consolidation. My forces united, I continue my torrid pace up the ranks of TACube. You folks up top better watch your backs

 

[Adul]

Hey russ, this should be able to stave off any vacum disaster has well I imagine.

 

[Russ]

I already took care of that by moving the servers and the build bench to a different circuit.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Harrald]

Should I fetch and flush a few hours before the upgrade? Or would that screw things up?

 

[Russ]

Harrald,

Nope, wouldn't be a problem at all. If you want to stock up, so that no flush will occur during the downtime, that would be just fine.

Russ, NCNE

 

[Imported]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll just flush on Monday..

 

[cpars]

Uh Oh ! I see ya coming Zorn Maybe My RMA's will arrive in time before ya pass me, got me a Kt7 raid and kA7 coming, should be able to get at least one more AMD crackin before ya catch me

Yep I will skip the Sunday flush also

 

[Russ]

BTW, cpars, congrats on passing 100K blocks!

Russ, NCNE

 

[dennilfloss]

People,

If you skip the Sunday flush, Supernaut may pass us.

 

[CFW]

Zorn, I can feel you breathing down my neck I'm giving it every clock cycle I can. I may be able to hold out a few more days but I see the inevitable.

 

[Zorn]

You're screaming today...I better tell the staff to turn off those damn screen savors or I'm never going to catch you

 

[CFW]

I'm going to see if I can't hold the lead to 70k, it should be close at this rate.

 

[DanC]

<< Supernaut may pass us >>


Not for long Denis. At the Cube's present rate of growth, the trend indicates that we should routinely put out over 300,000 blocks a day in about a 3 month period of time. The Cube has arrived with the heavy-hitters. I remember when Russ said &quot;No one will ever catch The Tortise&quot;.... and look what's happening.

This is a sustained regular growth - the kind that can continue exponentially ... Since this race is in fact a marathon - it's going to be interesting to see which one comes out on top eh?

Gotta love the competition at the TACube proxy.... You guys are doing great!

 

[Imported]

I'm trying to keep #11 for as long as I can on the TA Cube proxy..

 

[Zorn]

cspars: We both better watch out for &quot;pcp*pcs.unl.edu,&quot; where did that come from? 21.84 Mkeys/sec. I better get those new stations online in a hurry.:Q

 

[Russ]

Zorn,

Four days and he's already booked over 25K. So far today, he's even kicking my ass.

Russ, NCNE

 

[cpars]

No sh!t, who is that masked man. I am asslaminating my arse off and hopefully will have at least a couple 800's (1duron&amp;1tbird) online and possibly a duron @1000 in the next week. Don't make me get the plastic out again guys:Q

Maybe I should start attending those home builders assoc. meetings that I pay dues for and never attend, and asslaminate all the contractors here in my area

 

[A2KLAU]

Man those big numbers make me feel so small Anyway I will skip the SUnday flush and then flush it on Monday! And Denis think abotu this... all our blocks will be saved so if they pass us on Sunday we will mega flush the saved stuff on Monday to make it up... so either way we WILL stay tops on Monday!

Albert.

hiding bad threads is my game

 

[Russ]

T minus 30 minutes.

Russ, NCNE

 

[dennilfloss]

I just emptied my buffers.

 

[dennilfloss]

Hehe. My Windows clock is slow. Looks like I missed the deadline.

 

[Russ]

Back online.
