6) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : BOINC Users @ Google Earth (Message 51933) Posted 13 Mar 2008 by Raven Post: i could not find it Really? I do have you in there. Just look under 'R'. (I suppose the next question I should ask is, are you viewing it with the Google Earth program, or with Google Maps? Google Maps I know from experience has issues with this thing.)

8) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : BOINC Users @ Google Earth (Message 51770) Posted 2 Mar 2008 by Raven Post: Update time! Click here to download! A note about this update: Several users lately have been adding a team tag in front of their user names to indicate belonging to a specific team. While this is understandable, it makes trying to organize placemarks somewhat difficult, and in some cases made user names ridiculously long. As a result, starting now and in future, team tags will be left off a user's name when added to the placemark file. If you wish to indicate your allegiance in the file, you can always contact me and give me the URL of a custom team signature or other graphic or text to be included in your placemark's label (the box that pops up when a placemark is selected in Google Earth) and I will be happy to include it in the next update. Cheers! Changes as of 2 March 2008: Added user Larry Repositioned several markers of users of Pirates@Home due to system placement errors. Removed team tags from users Bichou, ninicool and elektrohase

11) Questions and Answers : Web site : Team name, HTML versions not working? (Message 51381) Posted 13 Feb 2008 by Raven Post: I tried both the usual syntax ( <IMG SRC="... > ) and the possible alternative ( </IMG> ) and neither worked. Guess I'll just have to put it in the description, if there's no other ideas. Cheers!
12) Questions and Answers : Web site : Team name, HTML versions not working? (Message 51367) Posted 12 Feb 2008 by Raven Post: I updated my team info, and even though it says that the <IMG> tag is one of the limited HTML tags supported, I can't link to my team's logo. It says the <IMG> tag is not supported. Is this a flaw, or is something otherwise changed that I should use BBCode or something?
13) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : BOINC Users @ Google Earth (Message 51365) Posted 12 Feb 2008 by Raven Post: Do you use Google Earth? For the past year or so I have been maintaining a Google Earth placemark file showing the locations of any BOINC participants who wished to be included. I took it over from the original creator, bjango, because I thought it was just too cool to let pass into obscurity. The file can be found on the Google Earth Community message board here. Users are listed in the file alphabetically, rather than by country, as Google Earth has graphical search features that are more than adequate to show you who is situated in a particular city, state, province or country. Each placemark is shown as a custom colour-coded icon in the classic BOINC font. A blue "B" indicates a regular user. A gold "B" indicates someone involved with the operation of a project (i.e. an administrator, developer, or scientist, but not a tester or forum moderator). A red "B" indicates the founder of an established team of five or more members. Anyone who wishes to be included, please just step right up and say so! Tell me either through this message thread or by private message. Merely a city, or rough location, is sufficient. I'll put your marker in a neutral location, such as a park, body of water, or landmark of your choice (don't want any cyberstalkers being able to see exactly where you live...) Anyone familiar with Google Earth and wishing to customize their locations and labels can email me a .kmz file as an attachment for inclusion. Send it to bcboinc (-at-) fandom.ca Also, for anyone wishing to be included but who have set "International" as your country on BOINC, I offer the following largely neutral choices: 90 degrees North latitude 90 degrees South latitude Mount Everest The International Date Line (somewhere in the ocean) The United Nations building in New York City Additions and corrections are sought and encouraged. I am especially interested to know of any user who may warrant a different colour icon or users who have either moved or have stopped crunching BOINC, and can thus reasonably be taken out of the file. Comments and suggestions are also welcome. Enjoy!

BOINC is a small but growing cross-project team dedicated to BOINC crunchers from or residing in the province of British Columbia, Canada. But don't think you have to be either of those to join! You're welcome if you've merely visited, traveled, seen or even heard of British Columbia! Join B.C. BOINC here via Rosetta@Home, and also check out our web site for forums, project information, team news and links to our other team pages.
15) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Teammember recruiting thread (No. 1) (Message 8378) Posted 4 Jan 2006 by Raven Post: Once again, British Columbia makes the headlines for being at the cutting edge of dealing with tough social issues, as shown in this article from News of the Weird: Andrew Uitvlugt, candidate for mayor of Kelowna, British Columbia, proposed in November to coax drug addicts into public jobs, such as trash collection, by rewarding them with crack cocaine, on the theory that the work would be so fulfilling that they would ultimately decline the drugs. (He finished fourth out of five candidates.) [Calgary Herald, 11-11-05; Vancouver Sun, 11-20-05] B.C. BOINC - Caffeine is our drug of choice.
16) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : About the shameful pimping (Message 4695) Posted 29 Nov 2005 by Raven Post: Heh, I've been pimping my team on several projects for almost a year, and it still has but one member. Consider yourself lucky, Neal! Good Luck, though! (Okay, granted, my team's in a limited geographical scope, but, I'm still trying!)
