1) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 104197) Posted 13 Jan 2022 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: I understand that there are no work units available for Rosetta@home so my question becomes should I continue to wait and thus waste my computer cycles or switch to another project. I added World Community Grid and am sharing it with Rosetta so I am still doing something but I would like to continue with Rosetta as well IF work units will be forthcoming in the near future. Can you help me out with this conundrum?

3) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 104026) Posted 4 Jan 2022 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: Maybe I am being rather dense here but could you give me some step by step instructions. I have been running Rosetta@home on multiple computers for years so I am already attached to the project. Exactly what do I need to do to get work units running again on my two Windows 10 computers and my MacPro? Thanks for your help!
4) Message boards : News : Switch to using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) (Message 104017) Posted 3 Jan 2022 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: If I understand this correctly I now have to run Boinc with SSL, is that correct? I tried that back in the fall and it trashed my computers. Is it improved now so that my computers will not have to have Windows reinstalled? Also, does my Mac require it too? Thanks
5) Questions and Answers : Web site : No Work Units (Message 103959) Posted 31 Dec 2021 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: Thanks for following up with me. One more question...does another project do any work in the area of Alzheimers?
6) Questions and Answers : Web site : No Work Units (Message 103943) Posted 30 Dec 2021 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: My mom died of Alzheimers and since Rosetta does research in that area, that's why I run that project. Is there any indication of how long it will be until Rosetta work units will become widely available? Thanks, Louis
7) Questions and Answers : Web site : No Work Units (Message 103938) Posted 29 Dec 2021 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: Over the past week, I have only received a very few work units and that was just on one night. The rest of the time my Mac and two Windows 10 computers which I run 24/7 solely for the project, just sit idle. I've looked at the message boards and can't find anything about such an outage. I have also downloaded BOINC over and over again but still no work units. Could someone please tell me what to do to get these computers up and working again. Thanks, Louis Beatty Mild Mannered Professotr
8) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Failure to get Tasks (Message 103485) Posted 23 Nov 2021 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: I have two Windows 10 machines and one Macintosh. My Windows computers are receiving tasks but my Mac has not received any for several days. I have reloaded the BOINC app multiple times, restarted my Mac as well and still can't get any tasks. I have run out of ideas and desperately need help. My project is Rosetta which I run because it does research into Alzheimer's from which my mother died. Thanks, Louis Beatty
9) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Rapidly Decreasing Credit (Message 81387) Posted 28 Mar 2017 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: Okay, thanks for the info. I appreciate your response. Louis
10) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Rapidly Decreasing Credit (Message 81383) Posted 28 Mar 2017 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: Thanks but I had enough data that my computers never ran out. The credit has fallen another 100 credits today. Louis Beatty Colorado Mountain College
11) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Rapidly Decreasing Credit (Message 81372) Posted 27 Mar 2017 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: I'm running a Mac Pro with 32 GB of RAM closing as many apps as I can when I'm away from it. At the end of last month I was getting 4,500 credits a day. During the course of this month, I've gone from 4,500 to 2,500 and I have no clue why. It runs 24/7 with 75% of the CPUs using up to 90% of CPU time. I've restarted it several times during the month just to see if it would make a difference but it doesn't seem to help. Would anyone have any idea why this would happen? Is it a matter of specific work units that it is receiving as an example? Thanks, Louis Beatty Colorado Mountain College
12) Questions and Answers : Web site : User Name Divided Into Two Accounts (Message 81115) Posted 1 Feb 2017 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: You must have used two different EMail addresses as you attached hosts to the project. You'll have to determine which host is not under the account of the team founder, and on that host detach from R@h, and reattach under the EMail address associated with the team founder. Then future credit and RAC will be under a single account. At that point, I'd also suggest you remove your EMail address from the account you no longer wish to use, see this post You were right, there are two different email addresses. It seems that if I could change the email address of the oddball one to the one that the majority of computers are using, that they would be merged. However the message that the email address is in use and won't let me change that. I read the message you linked to and I don't know how, if I deleted the account, that the computer in question would end up on my other account (same name but different email address. I guess I'm being kind of thick here but I just don't want to lose all of the data contributed so far by that computer. Thanks in advance for your help, Louis
13) Questions and Answers : Web site : User Name Divided Into Two Accounts (Message 81109) Posted 1 Feb 2017 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: My account name is Mild Mannered Professor and I am the founder of the team, Colorado Mountain College. When I look at the team info it shows two members, both named Mild Mannered Professor. I like tracking my computers' progress for Average Daily Credit, but I can't get the total because of the account being split between the two Mild Mannered Professor accounts. Would someone mind merging those together into one account. Right now my Average Daily Credit for the two accounts is 5256 and 2099 and it would be appreciated if they could be joined. I have no idea how this happened as each account name is spelled correctly. Thanks, Louis Beatty a.k.a. Mild Mannered Professor
14) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 77115) Posted 30 Jul 2014 by Mild Mannered Professor Post: Some people here are incredibly immature and demanding - I'm talking to those who are stomping their feet and threatening to leave the project just 12 hours into what I'll call the work download/upload outage. Grow up people. Sure it sucks when stuff breaks or stops working, but that's the nature of any complex system. BOINC and most boinc projects (R@H included) are very complex systems. My computer cycles will continue to crunch for Rosetta, good luck on getting things fixed :). My mom passed away after suffering from Alzheimer's for years. No one should have to suffer from that damned disease! I'll stay with Rosetta since they do research which could prevent that in the future.
