1) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : International aspects (Message 6883) Posted 20 Dec 2005 by Stuart Pitts Post: I agree with what is being said here. Anything that we can do that would increase the total number of BOINC users is a great benefit to the entire human race. While I have not seen any stats recently, I am sure that it is only a small fraction of the PC's in the world that are part of BOINC or any other system like BOINC. Just think what advances we could make if we had 1, 2,3, 5, or 10% of the world's PC's working on these and other similair projects. I agree with people being able to have their own threads in their native language. While most of it I can not read, I do enjoy seeing people communicating in different languages.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Single project BOINC installation package (Message 1592) Posted 22 Oct 2005 by Stuart Pitts Post: I agree that it is important to add more people to this and other projects. I had posted some ideas before and I am reposting them again to see what people think. "Concerning attacting new people to your project, I would recommend the following: a) Check with your local news stations/newspaper to see if they feature a website of the week. If they do, ask them to feature your website. b) check with the alumni magazines for the both the University that you are at and the ones that you and your team graduated from. They may be interested in an article about what their alumni are doing and will feature your website. c) I am assuming that you have contacted all of the companies and schools running your software in their research programs to make sure that they know about your website. Hopefully they would provide some after hours cpu's to help. d) If there are any science fairs that you and your team help with, I would recommend that you ask if you can either have a booth for your website or have your website listed on any publicity papers. e) Longer term, I recommend that you and the other project directors contact National Geograhic to see if they would do a feature story on distributed computing. A bunch of publicity about BOINC would help your project. f) I believe that Newsweek had an article about Seti@home two-three years ago. Maybe you can check to see who was the contact and see if they would do an article about BOINC. g) Finally, I recommend that you add to your website home page a section on help publicize Rosetta@home. You could list all of the ideas that you receive and ask people to either provide more ideas or to contact say their local news stations about your site being site of the week or whatever they feel would help." Good Luck!!!
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Error Message (Message 1301) Posted 13 Oct 2005 by Stuart Pitts Post: Does anyone have a suggestion? Have you read all the other threads about errors and work-arounds? Yes and I have not seen anything on this error. Here is what I found on the definition of the error. Client error The result was sent to a client and an error occurred. Thank you Stuart
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Client Error Message (Message 1276) Posted 12 Oct 2005 by Stuart Pitts Post: I am running Rosetta on three machines and one of them has a slew of WU with the status of Client Error. I run three other Boinc projects on that machine and I do not get that error message with them. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks Stuart
