snarkoleptics [ alias_sqbr ]	5:54p	Gunnerkrigg Court: The introduction of Jeanne So when it turned out that all the robots idolise this dead woman Jeanne I was a bit creeped out, it bought into all those creepy "idealised dead woman on a pedestal" things. I have thus found recent developments really interesting, and am curious to look at those original strips again. But I have no idea where they are in the archives. So can anyone give me a pointer? At least to the chapter she's introduced in, where Kat goes exploring and finds all that robot stuff. I have a mind like a sieve, while the slow build of Gunnerkrigg Court is very effective I always end up forgetting the context for new information. Clearly it is all a sneaky plan to force me to buy the books (Curse you Tom Siddell!) Also Diego totally looks like he should be a character from Doctor Layton and the Mysterious Village which is kind of ironic :) (10 Comments |Comment on this)

Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything. And finally some answers to some questions: ( Read More and Get Some Answers... ) Current Mood: grumpy (621 Comments |Comment on this)
