Well guys and gals, I am far from humored by the lack of attention to this out-of-commission server system, both primary and backup not accepting anything!
The above is the result from my FAST iMac, which completes an SMP in less than 20 hours usually (a 3.06Ghz C2Duo Xtreme CPU in it), and here it's completed 2 SMP's and the GDMF server rejects the latest one with a "could not connect" response to either the primary or the 2ndary server, and again, gives the 1st SMP, completed yesterday in the early evening, with the
"Server does not have record of this unit".
This very, very troubling!
WHY are Dr. Kasson and staff not responding this weekend?
I have been through problems before with servers in my 3.5 years with the Stanford.edu FAH program, many of them in fact, and there's always been at least some kind of response from Dr. Kasson and his staff EVEN ON WEEKENDS, BEFORE THIS TIME THAT IS!!
I just don't know what my FAST iMac is going to do when it finishes its 3rd SMP of the weekend later today, don't know if it can continue on folding that is, if there are 3 SMP's in cue and it's working on a 4th SMP? Is this possible, even? Are my Prefs going to get corrupted and then I'll have another issue in the Mac OS to boot? Who knows....

]I am just extremely disappointed, that's the word that fits here. [/b]
My other 5 Intel iMacs are in the same boat as the FAST iMac here, by the way, I've just chosen to not post from them because what is the point if we can't even get a response from Dr. Kasson & staff?
I am rendered speechless by this whole episode, and that takes some doing because I'm usually very "Upbeat" about my Folding program, and the results I can get out of this little bevy of Macs I have on the program. I'm not tooting my own horn, but I am one of the key contributors on my small (44 active folders) team, and they are surely missing my results about now with
no SMP's counted after 3PM on Saturday the 4th of October.
Somebody with a connection here, send Dr. Kasson a PM and let him know what is going on with his server, as ultimately the responsibility for this disaster rests with he and his staff. I am going to PM Paula, myself, and I think others should follow suit and get something happening before we start LOSING our SMP points, or worse....
I've written enough at this point, just being redundant by going further. Help me out, nice people! Start something happening, ok? We need this server FIXED and fixed right now, not when it just tanks belly up and we lose our accumulated points. If the server has had a hardware failure of some kind, please get it addressed and handled, as sooner now than later.
Have a nice evening, all you folders in this situation with me, and
please PM somebody to get things FIXED around here!
