February 24, 2007 Update from sunny Canada
I'm writing this over a satellite link from northern Quebec. Air temperature is currently -20 degrees Centigrade, and the project is very busy. No forest here, and still no useful work to be done by APS. After 6 days back in the UK in late March, I'll be in Borneo so there should be work to do then, provided I can get the application problems sorted out before leaving. It'll be a satellite link from there as well, so that's quite important.

More news when I have it. Thanks for standing by...

January 29, 2007 Status Report
Unfortunately more patience is the order of the day. Solving the problems with the OS X versions of the last application release is proving more time consuming than I'd expected. Also, commitments in Canada and Borneo until May are due to begin within days.

Please feel free to contact me through the message boards or by E-mail about anything you think I may have missed. In the meantime, happy crunching on your other projects, and I'll be back here as soon as possible.

October 24, 2007 Project on holiday
The project will remain quiet until mid-November now, as I'm getting married on Saturday. So I'm, er, a little busy.

Thanks for your patience. If there are any problems in the meantime, it's probably a good idea to E-mail me directly.

October 4, 2007 Request for ALL users to abort ALL work
EDITED: I have deleted all currently outstanding work units. I apologise for this, but it was necessary in order to debug the server and release new work.

We've had to cancel all the work units currently running. These have a deadline in 2009, and for some reason are causing problems with the assimilator daemon. It would be a VERY good idea to abort any APS work you currently have running. I can't diagnose the problem while these rogue WUs are still out there.

Thanks for your co-operation, and apologies for the inconvenience (and small amount of lost credit). Please spread the word among your teams.

October 1, 2007 New platforms supported
We have a few new applications released today. These are:

Linux on DEC Alpha

HPUX

FreeBSD on i386 compatible

OS X on Intel CPU

OS X on PPC CPU

Solaris on Sun Sparc

Thanks to Dotsch and Crunch3r for those. Please let us know how you get on with the new applications.
