Post: By any measure Aussie Assault 9 (AA9) on QMC has been a fantastic success!! Even though AA9 is officially over, the team has just passed 10 million credits in QMC, the last 5 million all in the last 18 days. That is an enormous amount of science crunched. The team's daily output should have started winding down to about double its pre-AA levels, about 50,000 a day, but we are still seeing around 250,000 a day. Not to bad for QMC. It should start to drop in the next week or so but the project has caught the interest of many BOINC@AUSTRALIA members. That's another great side affect of the AA's. The next event starts on 1 December 2007. |

Problems with Rosetta version 5.78
(Message 45738)
Posted 4 Sep 2007 by m.mitch
Post: No, that one finished after I went to bed. :-) No other problems so far. I expect a bit of a pause around the 10 minute to go mark, this one just seem to go longer. Perhaps it snuck in a work unit from another project while I wasn't looking. Didn't see any in the messages though. |

Post: Work unit 94392699 on computer 551987 has been stuck at 97.756% finished with about 00:9:54 to go for most of today. Unlike the last time this occurred to me, the CPU is at 100% use. However, the CPU time (done) is still only showing a bit over 7 hours. Is this a real problem? |

First came the heat. Then came the rain.
(Message 22145)
Posted 9 Aug 2006 by m.mitch
Post: It was 46c here the weekend before last. I would have been happy to get a lot of rain afterwards :) Here being about 2 hours east of Seattle. Now that is getting hot. I always suspected Seattle had similar weather to Melbourne. I'm getting a bit worried what summer will be like here given we can get in to the 40's in a normal summer. Worse too, I suppose, Melbourne's reservoirs are down to around 45% full and they told us the (five year) drought had broken! I guess that's why the poet said, "A land of drought and flooding rains...." |

That 18% are producing 48.1% of the results. I was going to say something similar to Kath, "I do it for the fun and comraderie" and that I believe we encourage each other to keep going. I think the stats say that too. |

Scheduler to preempt on checkpoint
(Message 18887)
Posted 18 Jun 2006 by m.mitch
Post: I wonder what will happen with projects that don't have checkpoints in their application? Will it run the wu to completion "waiting" for a checkpoint that never comes? That's a very good question I hope has been taken in to count when the designers spec'd it. I think uFluids has checkpoints now, doesn't it? |

Attempted Hacking???
(Message 18401)
Posted 10 Jun 2006 by m.mitch
Post: Also be aware there is a VNC vulnerability that will allow anyone to take over your desktop if you have VNC server running (it's something you have to install, so if you don't know what VNC is, you probably don't have it). I was sitting at my work computer and suddenly the mouse started jumping around the screen. Fun stuff :) That's one of those things were you wonder how long ago they found your web cam 8-O |

Restarting Results ad infinitum
(Message 17896)
Posted 7 Jun 2006 by m.mitch
Post: If you're using Win Xp. Try resetting the TCP/IP stack. Start -> Run. Type in: netsh int ip reset outfile.txt (it needs a dump file). If you're on dial-up, you're supposed to delete and add a new DUN entry with a different name. The usual suggestion is ISP1 (Where ISP are your ISP's intials) that way support desks know what's happened. Close everything and reboot. |

Bad experience
(Message 16178)
Posted 13 May 2006 by m.mitch
Post: This has been a very bad experience. I left months ago. You guys have made it very complex - so much so that it's difficult to make it work & understand. My (very new) PC found it hard to cope & so did I. Steve, join BOINC@Australia and you can get all the help you need with this project and any others you might be in. |

Hello From Minnesota
(Message 16174)
Posted 13 May 2006 by m.mitch
Post: I don't think iX clicked on your profile, the image in the background is very recognisable. Oh iX mate! You might want to click on mine as well ;-) and see what I do in my free time. [edit] Actually, I have to be very carefull about that, the youngest female entertainer I've filmed was 15. There are very strict Australian Standards and requirements to do that. I'm also watched from the control room and there is a floor manager and three other camera operators too. All for the obvious reasons. So any interaction between on-air talent and crew is subject to scrutiny. Been there, done that, screwed it up ;-) I'll get free beer for life with that story though. She was not from the above band, my friend was in a retro band [/edit] |
