No big shakes today. Here's the lowdown:

The RAID recovered just fine last night. Continuing install of OS'es on new desktop computers. Court (former SETI@home systems administrator extraordinaire) came by for a short visit which was nice. Fighting with gnuplot to get it to do what I want. Took some active measures (using creative load balancing) to rectify long-standing feeder mod polarity problems - in other words we have too many even-numbered results-ready-to-send in the database, so I'm currently giving preference to the even-numbered scheduler so the odd results could catch up. Should be completely transparent to our users.

As a follow up to the television crews yesterday: I have no idea where/when the thing will be on air. I'm always pleased with increased media exposure, but personally I'm kind of cavalier about the whole television thing. Anyway I think Dan ended up being the only person on screen. I have been in many clips before. In fact, months before SETI@home launched a news crew showed up. I didn't know they were coming and arrived to work on little sleep, unshowered, unshaven and wearing a rocker t-shirt. I also had freshly dyed pink hair. I ignored the cameras best I could as I was actually quite busy. I also figured this footage would only be used for the local news, if at all. That night my sister who lives on the other side of the country called. She asked, "when did you dye your hair?"
