The stats may be a bit erratic for the coming week due to some updates on the stats server for version 6 of the Folding client.

We are working on updating the stats server for v6. We will need to take the web interface to the stats down for several days. We will therefore not do this all at once, but starting Monday, we will have the stats update down a bit so our update can catch up. The actual stats will be updating, just the web interface for people to check their stats will be down.

It has been 99 days since we set ourselves the target of overhauling the [H]orde to take the top spot, as you all know we didn't make it. So on with the show and from now on we will show the actual days to reach the summit, just another 44 days to go. Teddy will be updating this thread in the Forums everyday with the latest target date.

If you are having trouble accessing the stats pages at Stanford this is why...

Network switch over today at 11am Pacific Time. We will be switching over networks on some machines today at 11am PST, so you may notice some FAH servers down briefly. Notably the main AS and web server will need to be switched, so stats may be delayed for a while.

You can keep up to date with proceedings here.

Extremely hot weather is affecting Stanford's ability to keep the Folding servers up, below is a news item from Vijay ...

We're doing everything we can to avoid this, but it's possible that we may need to shutdown FAH for a day or so. Northern California is being hit by a huge heat wave and it's possible that our server room may lose cooling any minute now due to the University's chilled water curtailment. In anticipation of this, we are making preparations to possibly shutdown FAH (as running w/o cooling = fried servers).

This is a last resort (and would only be temporary of course), but we will take action as needed.

Our thread is here.
