2013-10-18 22:12:23 Some time this Monday (21st October) I will switch off the stats server - currently my home PC - so that it can be shipped to the US. I'll send it by air freight but the main delay is whether the Brookhaven Laboratory network will play nicely with FTP or not. The worst case is that I can't run the stats until I've moved into my own apartment (~2 months). The best case would be stats back up in about 2 weeks.

So it's up to you how to handle this. You may run in offline mode and then dump results when it comes back up (and I will find a way ). Or you can take a muon holiday and try other projects, the LHC has a good one on monte carlo particle collision analysis.

This warning is also so that you can upload any results you want credit for before the statistics freeze.

Sorry for the inconvenience - moving to another country is a bit tricky administratively!

2013-10-18 23:20:53 No problem, take your time. I'll take a little muon time off and do other projects in the meantime.

Will flush the remaining results ASAP.

2013-10-19 09:11:43 I have done the emigration thing myself and from experience some stuff can lose it's priority when you are trying to adjust to a new normal
my low power borgs will probably stay on but I think my main cruncher may find someting else to do for a bit. Enjoy the move!

2013-10-21 22:00:20 For those worried, any results you do send should still be counted, EVENTUALLY.

Three of the four current results servers are still running and should take your results when generated. normally, the stats server will then pull the results from these, but since it's not going to be online, it won't.

There are no promises about the intermediate results servers, as a multi-week hold may swallow up a lot of disc space, but the transfer method is a positive-response one (meaning unless everything checks out, it won't mark a transfer as completed)
You can keep an eye on the server stats on the server stats page

OR you can set your config files to continue offline.

2013-10-23 18:53:13 The air freight has been loaded today, estimated arrival in US in 7-14 working days, which is 2013-Nov-01 to 2013-Nov-12. I still have to find out about FTP/network issues, though, plus factor in the time to set it up correctly.

2013-10-24 20:57:03 Found some information on the FTP issue here. Looks hopeful: as long as the FTP is initiated from inside the network it's OK. I can't run a server but I couldn't at the previous lab either: that's why the stats server runs an hourly batch system.

[edit] Just did a test of FTP scripting from here in my web backup utility. Just needed the proxying as per that page, plus "quote pasv" immediately after logging in to activate passive mode.

[edit2] Hmm, it's working *intermittently*. Asking network guys about it.
