However limited the front page info it's been apparent the failure was extensive and mod.sense's reply seems as complete and accurate now as it did at the time. As was mine. Aye aye - whatever. Why you needed to get personal about it I don't know but my post had nothing to do with you and maybe if you spent more time addressing the failings in your own site it would have less dead/broken links and people on here would be allowed to have freedom of expression and state their opinion without fear of unwarranted personal abuse. Subject closed as far as I'm concerned but no doubt you will want to carry on your own wee petulant, impotent rant. Doesn't make you right, you know.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : minirosetta 2.17 (Message 69294) Posted 13 Jan 2011 by EvoDude Post: EvoDude, I am a volunteer moderator, nothing more. I don't have any additional information to offer on the servers or plans or problems, nor do I have any access to post messages on the project homepage nor access to it's servers. So please, don't leave on my account. The "Project Administrator" title posted next to my profile name is due to the standard BOINC server code, and is not an indication of any duties. Don't beat yourself up. EvoDude's 0 RAC leads me to discover he hasn't run a single task here since 2007 anyway... Makes you wonder... or not... So, because I've been busy doing other work, particularly at Rosetta's test project where I'm 14th in the world and highest, by a country mile, in the UK means I can't have an opinion on the handling of the volunteers in this part of the project? Get real mate and check your facts properly before you cast aspersions. I PM'd the Mod in question as soon as he responded to discuss this privately, again something you wouldn't know, but let's not let actual fact get in the way of you having a personal dig at me. My suggestion:- Keep your nose out of my business till you know what you are talking about.

No. And that's all you've got to say in response to all the faults and complaints? What a joke of an admin this project has. I've got better things to donate my PC time to than this crap. Bye Bye Rosetta.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : minirosetta 2.17 (Message 69235) Posted 12 Jan 2011 by EvoDude Post: Isn't it a shame no-one from the project can be bothered responding to this. Makes you feel as if no-one cares. Very disappointed.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : minirosetta 2.17 (Message 69054) Posted 9 Jan 2011 by EvoDude Post: Just come back to Rosetta to stretch the legs on my new I7 but I'm getting continous 'Download failed' when BOINC Manager gets work. The message log on the recent one is:- 09/01/2011 03:51:11 rosetta@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. 09/01/2011 03:51:11 rosetta@home Requesting new tasks for CPU 09/01/2011 03:51:13 rosetta@home Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks 09/01/2011 03:51:15 rosetta@home Started download of minirosetta_2.17_windows_x86_64.exe 09/01/2011 03:51:15 rosetta@home Started download of minirosetta_graphics_1.92_windows_x86_64.exe 09/01/2011 03:51:16 rosetta@home Giving up on download of minirosetta_2.17_windows_x86_64.exe: file not found 09/01/2011 03:51:16 rosetta@home Giving up on download of minirosetta_graphics_1.92_windows_x86_64.exe: file not found 09/01/2011 03:51:16 rosetta@home Started download of Helvetica.txf 09/01/2011 03:51:16 rosetta@home Started download of minirosetta_database_rev39052.zip 09/01/2011 03:51:17 rosetta@home Giving up on download of Helvetica.txf: file not found 09/01/2011 03:51:17 rosetta@home Giving up on download of minirosetta_database_rev39052.zip: file not found 09/01/2011 03:51:17 rosetta@home Started download of 1poh.aahelix03_05.200_v1_3.gz 09/01/2011 03:51:17 rosetta@home Started download of 1poh.aahelix09_05.200_v1_3.gz 09/01/2011 03:51:24 rosetta@home Finished download of 1poh.aahelix03_05.200_v1_3.gz 09/01/2011 03:51:24 rosetta@home Started download of 1poh.native.pdb 09/01/2011 03:51:26 rosetta@home Finished download of 1poh.aahelix09_05.200_v1_3.gz 09/01/2011 03:51:26 rosetta@home Finished download of 1poh.native.pdb 09/01/2011 03:51:26 rosetta@home Started download of helix.psipred_ss2.gz 09/01/2011 03:51:27 rosetta@home Finished download of helix.psipred_ss2.gz Any ideas guys and is anyone else getting this?
7) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't connect to localhost (Message 11347) Posted 24 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: Tony if you have not changed your Rosetta prefs and left as they were then they WILL default to the default setting of CPU time, which was 8 hours. This explains why Evo's WU started to run for over 7 hours..... yes, indeed it would. Ok so I've changed my CPU time to 4 hrs. Does this mean I will get smaller work units? Does this help or hinder the project? (i.e. Do the project operators prefer us to run larger units?) It's a neat feature that could be handy for adjusting preferences according to your PC's capabilities. My own is an Athlon 64 3800+ running 2x512 Corsair RAM.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't connect to localhost (Message 11307) Posted 24 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: The experimental BOINC Client is still working faultlessly for me but I've got a couple of questions. #1. It seems to take a very long time to run a work unit. Using previous client I would complete a WU in under an hour but WU's on new client are taking over 7 hours to complete. Are they different WU's or is this a problem with new client? #2. I've added Ralph@home to my project list with a 50/50 split. It intitially switched but after the first hour it switched back to rosetta@home and has not switched again. That was a couple of days ago.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't connect to localhost (Message 10891) Posted 18 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: Tony, Yep, Connected straight away to localhost and is currently downloading work units. Thanks for your assistance in this problem and I have added a positive rating to your previous posts in appreciation of your help and time given. If no further problems, I'll come back here in a couple of days to update you on progress. Is there a seperate thread for posting any bugs found in this experimental version? Is it possible to connect to Ralph on this one too, as I would like to help where I can?
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't connect to localhost (Message 10888) Posted 18 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: Tony, Happy to try anything to get back crunching again. Been with this project for nearly 5 months and would prefer not to have to change. I currently run an Athlon64 3500+ based system, which is very rarely suspended but left to run 24/7. How do I get the new version?
11) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't connect to localhost (Message 10886) Posted 18 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: Tony. I've tried all your suggestions with no change in the situation. I use BOINC Manager version 5.2.13 although I have also tried the earlier version to see if it worked. Result was just the same - no connection to localhost. I have also added 127.0.0.1 IP address as a trusted address to my ZoneAlarm Pro firewall. As regards the CMD routine using netstat -a the first image below shows the result with BOINC Client failed and the second image is the result with no BOINC Client started.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Won't connect to localhost (Message 10861) Posted 17 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: I am having repeated problems with BOINC Manager not connecting to local host. I've tried uninstalling and installing it several times with no joy, including a change in diectory name to try to get round a possible Win XP registery problem. It happened last week but then, after repeated attempts to resolve the problem, it just started working again. I can get it to run as a CMD service but nothing on the GUI version. I have asked questions elsewhere in the forum without any response from the project staff so, just before I dump it altogether and move on elsewhere I thought I would post the problem here.
13) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Won't connect to local Host - Moved from the Science Forum (Message 10860) Posted 17 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: I take it nobody at rosetta is looking at this page! After solving the problem last week, with a little help from friends in the Unofficial Forum, it has all happened again. Complete uninstall/install (twice) in different directories it and it still won't connect to localhost. Due to lack of tech support at this site I think I'll take my spare cycles elsewhere. One would have thought that in a week someone who worked for the project would have checked this forum for reported problems and could offer us help to overcome it. I know I am not alone in this problem so some guidance would have helped a number of volunteers.
14) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Won't connect to local Host - Moved from the Science Forum (Message 10660) Posted 11 Feb 2006 by EvoDude Post: After a reboot this morning following software installation (WinDVD) my PC won't connect to localhost. I've repaired, uninstalled, reinstalled with same result. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled to a different directory (BOINC2) with the same result. Any ideas on what to try next?
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Moderated messages moved here (Message 7405) Posted 23 Dec 2005 by EvoDude Post: This thread has gotten very off-topic. And with your list of titles I would have expected a lot more helpful input than just to complain about being off-topic. Does nobody here know how to resolve a problem. I hope you have plenty of volunteers available because you'll start losing them very quickly with this sort of attitude.
16) Message boards : Number crunching : Moderated messages moved here (Message 7399) Posted 23 Dec 2005 by EvoDude Post: His first post said: "I have been getting WU's that the time clock just stops and takes a reboot to get it going again I have had to reboot over 100 systems in the past 2 days My points per day is 1/2 what it is on a norm. I guess I should just shut down my network till you can solve this problem. As I have little time to babysit your client with the holly days here or just change to another project" Actually, just to keep the record straight - that wasn't his first post. That was the second that I'd read that day from him. The first is the one where he was aborting WU's because he didn't like their names, here. Meanwhile, you just carry on with your own attitude problem - where is this going to end? Just because a person approaches you in a way you don't like it seems to make it alright for you to be unhelpful and tell them to leave the project. Now that is what I call 'brilliant forum moderation'! Perhaps after the first post you could have explained that these were legitimate WU names and not to worry. At least that would have settled the 'volunteer's' concerns on that matter. Also, if they are having to reboot to solve it does it not make it impossible to retrieve any informattion before rebooting. I know when my PC freezes it stops me doing anything other than 'press the button'. I only ask that, as a moderator, you do your best to resolve problems and not act like a child taking his ball back 'cos someone says something the wrong way. This is not me being rude, just some straight talking from a straight guy.
17) Message boards : Number crunching : Moderated messages moved here (Message 7393) Posted 23 Dec 2005 by EvoDude Post: if this is a hard thing for you to handle perhaps you should stop giving help I'll make a deal with you - I'll stop giving you help. There are plenty of others here that can do so if they choose. EDIT:: I just double-checked something. I know I said I'd stop helping, but... Windows ME is not supported by Rosetta. Seems it doesn't report CPU times back to the application correctly. That was a really helpful response Bill, not! Have you checked the input that the project is getting from Lauren? I'm not sure you fully understand the role of moderator, voluntary or otherwise. Moderatorn a person who presides over at a public or legislative assembly. You are there to handle complaints or problems - not to exagerate them. If you read his post you will see that he clearly states that he is a plumber and has little or no technical expertise in the computing field. Why didn't you carefully explain what details you require and how to get them, you may then have got the information you required. Instead you have managed to drive away a volunteer who gave the project a heck of a lot of crunching power.
18) Message boards : Rosetta@home Science : Default.....205 WU's (Message 7219) Posted 22 Dec 2005 by EvoDude Post: I thought you would have pulled all the defective units off by now. I just recieved one this afternoon.
19) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Mauisun.org >< Mauisun.org (Message 4470) Posted 27 Nov 2005 by EvoDude Post: I take it my sig will catch up with new team when I send in the next result? Looks kinda out of place here.
20) Message boards : Cafe Rosetta : Mauisun.org >< Mauisun.org (Message 4461) Posted 27 Nov 2005 by EvoDude Post: Thought I'd pop in and say hello to my new team mates. Fluffy convinced me I'd be better here than in the slowly disintegrating team I was a member of. My current RAC is about 220 and I've scored over 4,000 points so far in R@H so hopefully I can be a productive member here too. Nice to meet you all. EvoDude
