Renderfarm.fi's back in action
Submitted by prodigal_son on Sun, 2010-08-08 09:59Although many of you have probably noticed this already (either from reading my personal blog entry from last night or then by wondering on to the Server Status page), we're back in action. Our back-end is receiving and distributing work units as per normal, even while the web frontend will require some more work to get to the state where it was before the crash.
However, there's an important note to all new registrants: the server is currently not sending in your validation email. We know of this and will send your emails to you after the weekend. Thank you for your patience!
I'm going to meet up with the ISP Otaverkko during the week to get us more diskspace and a good back-up plan for the future. So this episode will hopefully not repeat itself anymore in the future. Meanwhile, I'd like to thank the dynamic duo of Janus Kristensen (BURP guru) and Olivier Romand (Renderfarm.fi main developer) for their hard work. A big cheers also to Otaverkko, where we had to visit twice - both times after hours (great service policy I tell you).

USA Tax Law & Donations
Submitted by Nicholas Rishel on Mon, 2011-06-06 08:09Sorry for posting a request before being integrated into the community, but I think this is something that might be useful for future members as well.
I currently have the opportunity to get one or more Dell PE6850 Servers. I would like to get the remaining stock that the company is getting rid of, but would like to make it as cheap as possible while being as beneficial to the company likewise.
If I can get one or more of these servers, I will be hooking them into Render Farm as soon as I can get them in working order.
My question, would anyone be able to advise me on United States tax law regarding any possible tax deductions they may be able to receive through this transaction? I will be leaving them on the network almost continuously, so a majority of the time and processing time will be donated.
Additionally I am currently attending college if there are any deductions that might apply to myself.
Any ideas on where we might be able to cut corners and benefit myself or the company monetarily would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to making my first major contribution to the Blender community.
