The time has come to move on. Sadly, I am leaving Team OcUK for pastures new. Somehow, for me at least, all the fun and drive that once helped this team to the Worlds Finest has faded away, especially the SETI aspects. I'd not really ever thought of leaving, but an invitaion was issued...

Rather the opposite... Under time based credits, the optimized apps did the work faster and claimed less credits per WU than the lumbering stock app (unless you used trux's correctinc BOINC). Because of the averaging of cliamed credit to granted credit, and most users running the stock app, the...

I didn't have any issues with Win2k. Everything is on XP now (which is only a point release (V5.1) of Win2000 (V5.0) , and no problems with that either. What version of BOINC did you update to, 5.2.13? What sort of crashes/errors did you get and in what program (BOINC, BOINCMgr)?

Never did get the hang of opening the post..... :eek: Hey this is getting good! 24th in The Finest Team :cool: 75th in the UK :) and well into the to 1000 in the World :D

FWIW guys, PCPlus Magazine (in the UK) Issue 236, Nov 2005 ran an article entitled "Build Your Own Supercomputer". I think very much along the lines you're thinking.

Nice one. And they say the first million is the hardest, onwards and upwards!

Haven't seen one of those erros for months. Are you running the latest recommended version (5.2.13) ? Even so, when I used to get this error, it seemed to re-start and complete the work unit Ok anyway. I suspect that the processing restarted at a previous checkpoint though so some CPU was...

What does it do? What does the BOINC manager screen say in the status bar, bottom right? Is should say "Connected to Localhost" if things are working. What happens when you do File->Select Computer and enter 'localhost' in the computer name box? If yolu have any kind of software...

Yes please, let's have a Team for SIMAP

Go BOINC My choice, go BOINC. You have a wide choice of projects you can join. Should include Folding soon (there's a beta test running).

Good Choice. But don't worry about the others, when the BOINC Folding@Home comes out of beta, they'll all be able to join the best ;)

Well, it's true that each BOINC project (currently) has only one server, but there are many BOINC projects each with one server, so there's always something to do. That said, I run BOINC (99.999% SETI) with an 8 day work cache, and have never ever run out of SETI work to do, even when the...

I love a story with a happy ending.... We DID BEAT the Germans :D Now for more of the same in BOINC

Yerrrsss! We did it! BIG Congratulations to every member of the 'Worlds Finest Team' (Official) :) Now let's repeat the feat on BOINC.

Hi I have exactly the same bundle (BU-011-UK) and exactly the same problem. Powers-up, CPU fan runs, but no beeps, no video, no sign of life. Have checked all jumpers, connections, reset CMOS etc, but no joy.

Looks like the Validators are fixed... Waiting for Validation down 50K in 1 hour since 23:30 UTC. Should clear by sun-up (UK)

Is there a required or suggested format for entries?

Not too sure about the grains of sand bit - but there sure are a big lot of galaxys, each with a whole load of stars... Try it yourself Drake Equation . Most of the figures we/you can take reasonable guesses at. The reall killer is the last q: 'How long does a technological (read RF...

Err.... WOW. Brill Stats '03 was a great year for OcUK - '04 will show the world who's Finest once and for all :D
