I will bring air freshener, ear plugs and a bar of soap.

I is mid afternoon on the left coast so I am warming up this thread so it will be prepared for Tuesday's anticipated event.

Nope but that's a brilliant idea.

Down

Well at least Boinc is back.

I hate when seti and boinc are down at the same time !!!

It's been down for almost 2 1/2 hrs, they have my permission to bring it back.

Its forums are back

About12 hours until SETI goes down for weekly outrage.

Since fall has attempted to settle in some parts of the USA with slightly cooler temperatures let us celebrate without burning any hair this week.

Yep it is time to prepare for Tuesday's festivities. Sunday gave us a good training run.

The party started earlier today.

Is there a chance that Boinc and Seti could lose power due to these possible wind shutdowns??
They are in Alameda county.

"This week’s power outage could hit a big part of Northern California, including the following counties: Alameda, Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lake, Mariposa, Mendocino, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Sierra, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama, Tuolumne, Yolo and Yuba."

It's back, Sunday's practice run seems to have speeded things up. The only real tragedy is that Juan does not have a long outage as an excuse to go to the pub.

I could go to celebrate the early return. LOL

Possibly, but with the move from the lab to the data center, that most likely has backup generators. (Not saying the lab doesn't because they support spacecraft operations in the building.)

And this on https://systemstatus.berkeley.edu now :

Attention

As you may know, PG&E has announced that most of the Bay Area is on alert for a potential power outage starting on Wednesday or Thursday, to guard against fire dangers that may accompany anticipated high winds. Parts of the campus community could be impacted if a power outage occurs in our area. Campus leaders and emergency officials are convening throughout the day today to gather the latest information from PG&E, and a follow up email will be sent to the campus community later today. To ensure you are getting the latest campus alerts as quickly as possible, please sign up for text alerts from WarnMe: https://warnme.berkeley.edu

All IT systems and services hosted in the campus data center, as well as all systems and services hosted external to the campus data center, are expected to be available during the PG&E planned power outage.

British take on the power situation - reasons and outcomes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49982236

Having driven through the area affected by the Carr Fire on my American trip this summer, I have a slightly better idea of the scale and scope of these events - even though, a year after the burn (we drove through on the anniversary), much of the undergrowth was already re-greening.
