Site down?

I am unable to reach the WEP-M+2 website at http://bearnol.is-a-geek.com/wanless2/

Also observe that bok's stats at Free-DC haven't updated for a week.

Where for art thou Bearnol-is-a-geek?

There seem to be more James Wanlesses.. and James Wanless (Bearnol) is utterly gone, it seems.
He was lastly active at Github in December 2023, so I guess he has had a major server breakdown, severe enough to take out the complete http://bearnol.is-a-geek.com/

Hi Dirk,

Thanks very much for your concern. Actually I'm fine thanks - hope you are too - though project is no more.

Regards,
James


You’re right, the server has crashed - probably beyond repair - and although I have replacement servers available (and even a very recent backup), I think the time has come really to move on, much as I’ve enjoyed my time with BOINC…
There are other factors of P2203 already known, and theoretically we could/could have found them, as well as possibly even some new one(s), but I have been gradually coming to realise that my algo would really only work significantly better on larger numbers, and given that I’m close to retirement anyway I didn’t quite have the energy to change the setup on the server to target a larger M+2 — maybe I’ve just grown too attached to P2203 over the years :)
