March 24, 2008 Increased Granted Credit
Due to many complaints that the reduction in credit was a bit too severe, we've increased the generated credit a bit. It should be around 4 credit per WU now. Please feel free to keep complaining about credit on the forums and we'll eventually get it right. :)

March 20, 2008 Assimilator Updated and New Work Available
I've updated the assimilator to deal with some of the performance issues we've been having with it. You should see more work availability and hopefully we wont have results piling up that aren't assimilated. I've started up a bunch of new searches and hopefully the work will keep flowing faster than before.

March 20, 2008 Forums Down for Upgrade
I just upgraded the BOINC server software. The database is a little shaky right now as we're trying to upgrade to PHP5 to facilitate it better. Therefore the forums will be down until we can get PHP5 up, hopefully it won't take more than a day. However, the assimilator problem seems to be fixed with this release and hopefully so will the freezeups.

March 19, 2008 Work Generation Downtime
We're running a purge on the database to try and get things sped up. During this time we wont be generating any new work, but this should be completed sometime tonight and there will be new work after that.
