NRAO telescopes will be taken offline due to government shutdown
We've received notice that the NRAO telescopes at Greenbank will be shut down at 5pm on Friday if the government shutdown continues. We don't have any immediately scheduled observations there, so this should not affect us in the short term.
We have not yet heard of any impact on Arecibo, but since it is operated under contract rather than being directly operated by the government, we are hoping observations there will continue.

We are now mostly recovered from a campus wide power outage.
Last night there was a power outage that affected the entire Berkeley campus. The data center, where our servers are located, does have facility wide UPS so all servers stayed up. Unfortunately, the data center air conditioning did not stay up. Machines were getting hot, so the data center staff had to bring them down.

Android Beta Testers Needed
We're beta testing the Android version of the SETI@home application and we're looking for more testers to speed up the process. If you'd like to help, install the Android version of BOINC through the Google Play Store or the Amazon App Store. Then when asked to join a project enter http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta as the project URL.
note: The beta project does not have access to SETI@home user accounts. Unless you're already using the beta project, you'll need to create a new account there.
