I took one last shot at salvaging Predictor and since we have clearly quantified / identified the bugs and bad entries in the database.

I have requested a) A qualified DBA fix the DB and pull the bad jobs b) the scientist fix the damn code.

In all fairness to lifemapper, I will suspend my predictor work and take a look... fair is indeed fair... and I will load the CLI version since I'll be running on 7 systems within the next 2 weeks......

(Yes, the 3 dual-cpu penti---cough-cough's are about to be replaced with Athlon MPs when I get home)... Which is another announcement I should make, even though this is not the proper place (but there is no proper place)..... I am leaving california... and returning home to Pa for surgery. I will be quasi offline.... maybe borrow a laptop and 802.11 adapter and be in group... I do not know what will be happening.... but anyway....
during my transit back... The only way to reach me will be 'plain text email' at my account. which i will adjust for my cell prior to departure.

I'll be back in a bit with my impressions and performance on the A64's of lifemapper... and you can tell me how well or poorly I'm doing....

Back in a flash...
