So you may, or probably may not, have noticed the site go up and down for about an hour. I was upgrading some other things on the server and had to take web services down, unexpectedly. Everything should be fine now.

After an unannounced firewall change, BRaTS@Home is back online. I took the forced hiatus as an opportunity to upgrade to the new BOINC server. In fact you may have seen some changes already. You can read about these changes in this post. Next step is to upgrade the science app to the new API. That I will start (and hopefully finish) Monday. Thanks, David.

I added a comments feature to the workunits table. You can now look at the page of information on the workunit and, if I added comments, view the comments. This will be helpful if I want to communicate about a particular workunit (like the ones running now. hint, hint). Check it out. Let me know what you think (those of you with work).

I thought I'd write to give an update of how things are going. At this point the (new) server seems to running fine. I am working on some changes to the science app. Once that is finished (tomorrow?), I will send out some work to test the changes. FYI, all test are sent under the application name betaapp. Just in case you're curious. Once those are fine, things should be back to normal. It's just been slow work. Things have been busy and I was out sick the past couple of days. That never helps.

The website is back up! Next I will be working on restoring the database and then things should be back to normal. Once I get that working, you will be able to log back in and I will post in the message board so that you can read the interesting details of the BRaTS project this week.
