1) Message boards : Number crunching : when we have news woks? (Message 15056) Posted 11 Oct 2006 by LadyzGuy Post: Ladyzguy: please could you modify your sig to remove the four-letter word. I've just had to explain your epithet to my 4yo boy, with the caveat that he's not to use the word. The justification for this was that you're probably not a very nice person. I'm sure that's not true, so please don't make me lie again. Thanks Look don't blame me for you lying to your kid... That's just totally rediculous . All you had to do was ask me to remove it because it was offensive to you, but to state that you had to lie to your kid because of me is absurd and I resent that. And you further show how rediculous it is by stating to him "that I'm probably not a very nice person" You don't know anything about me. I'm beginning to think you all here are a bunch of whining idiots. We all are supposed to be adults, (generally speaking) but lets see now, you posters don't like the way I post on the boards here, when all I was doing was trying to let the original poster of this thread know he was not the only one who was having issues with the WU's (or lack therof) and now my sig is offensive to your 4 year old, so I must change it. How you explain life's mysteries to your kids is your business just don't blame me for what I'm sure is not the first time nor probably the last time he/she will be exposed to what's in it. Jeeze you guys need to get a real life. Once again of all the boards I'm subscribed to, this one takes the cake.... (by the way that sig line is the same one I use on all my boards and this is the only place that's ever complained about it)

At least it's good to see some of you are getting WU's. I just wish I was getting a few of them. edited for spelling

4) Message boards : Number crunching : when we have news woks? (Message 14997) Posted 6 Oct 2006 by LadyzGuy Post: If you read part NEWS of the main page, you will have already a little idea why during months you receive anything. If you adds that LHC@home was made for SIMULATE the future LHC, that the principal data are finished and LHC will be soon in service. There thus remain last details to be calculated, therefore rare. To provide work again relatively usually, one speaks about launching the Garfield program. Does that answer your questions? To finish, BOINC is voluntary work, if you are not happy, nobody retains you! Ok here is the NEWS pages entries..... Welcome to the LHC@home Project! 29.9.2006 13:21 UTC Disk issue has been resolved. 29.9.2006 12:32 UTC Project temporarily stopped, while a disk issue is being solved. A new batch of jobs are ready and will be loaded when the disks are fixed. September 29, 2006 LHC@home server support will be migrated progressively from CERN to Queen Mary College over the next few weeks, with the support of GridPP. When the migration is completed for the primary application (Sixtrack), a new CERN application (Garfield) will be introduced on the server, running side by side with Sixtrack. This should assure a more even provision of work units for the LHC@home community. We will make every effort to keep you informed as this transfer proceeds. I see from the entry dated Sept 29th that 'Garfield' is to introduced in the next few weeks..... - Great!!! Then I see on the entry dated Sept 20th above it (more recent) that 'project is temporarily stopped due to a disk issue and a new batch of jobs will be loaded when the disks are fixed' - Bummer but at least we are getting somewhere!! Then I see as the last entry dated Sept 29th (an hour after the last entry, that 'disk issue has been resolved' OK now that the disk issue has been resolved, where is 'the new batch of jobs that will be introduced when the disks are fixed'??? My question still stands, WHEN can we expect to see new work being sent out?? Another week?? another month??? a year??? is that such a hard question to give an answer to? Even a general estimate would suffice. As far as your final statement: To finish, BOINC is voluntary work, if you are not happy, nobody retains you! That is exactly the attitude I'm talking about. Only on this project's boards would I expect to see such a reply. All of the other boards I subscribe to have been supportive and friendly to users who have has issues or questions, (both newbies as well as 'veteran' BOINC'rs) Why is it so different here?
5) Message boards : Number crunching : when we have news woks? (Message 14994) Posted 5 Oct 2006 by LadyzGuy Post: I too have not been recieving any WU's from LHC... . Please look at the message boards before asking a question. Nobody expects you to read everything, but do look at the titles of the most recent threads. Within the most recent ten threads is still one headed Please Note: this project rarely has work. Of all the boards I am subscribed to, this is the only one where instead of an answer to a question everybody gets chastised for 'not posting all their questions in one thread' Yes I have read the 'other' posts concerning this issue, and no I still have not seen any answers except for the vague reply that 'LHC has moments of inactivity with no WU's being sent out' What I want to know is WHEN can we expect some new WU's being sent out??? I think 3 months of inactivity when you have so many linked computers sitting around waiting for work is rediculous. Whats more rediculous is the way people who want to crunch WU's are treated on this board when they ask a question. If your going to reply to a thread with a statement such as 'LHC has times when no WU's are being sent out' (seems to be a generic standard reply here) Why not just give the person a answer that gives more information??? (if you know it anyway) Seems to me thats the right thing to do isn't it? The reason I posted to this thread instead of the others was simple... It was the thread with the most recent activity concering this question at the time I posted, After all what difference does it really make what thread I post on, if all the answers are the same?? (no real answers, just everybody getting all huffy about the fact that a person is asking for some real answers and didn't post on the 'correct thread': Please look at the message boards before asking a question. Nobody expects you to read everything, but do look at the titles of the most recent threads. Within the most recent ten threads is still one headed Please Note: this project rarely has work. I have seen that post pretty much on EVERY thread I have looked at here. Why not just answer the question instead???? By the way I went 10 months straight without EVER being without a LHC WU. Now for the last 3+ months I have had NOTHING at all from LHC. What has changed???
6) Message boards : Number crunching : when we have news woks? (Message 14992) Posted 5 Oct 2006 by LadyzGuy Post: I too have not been recieving any WU's from LHC... The last one I finished was several weeks ago (as in maybe 3 months) I am running my machine 24/7 with a fast cable connection and a total of 10 BOINC projects and have not had any problems with any except Predictor and LHC. (both quit doing WU's at about the same time) When I first started doing LHC over a year ago it banged them out on a daily basis without ever being 'down'. Then all at once it quit and never started up again. I get a message saying 'NO Work From Project' over and over. 10/5/2006 5:28:22 AM\|lhcathome\|Fetching scheduler list 10/5/2006 5:28:27 AM\|lhcathome\|Scheduler list download succeeded 10/5/2006 5:28:32 AM\|lhcathome\|Sending scheduler request to http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome_cgi/cgi 10/5/2006 5:28:32 AM\|lhcathome\|Reason: To fetch work 10/5/2006 5:28:32 AM\|lhcathome\|Requesting 17280 seconds of new work 10/5/2006 5:28:37 AM\|lhcathome\|Scheduler request succeeded 10/5/2006 5:28:37 AM\|lhcathome\|No work from project 10/5/2006 5:28:37 AM\|lhcathome\|Deferring scheduler requests for 1 minutes and 0 seconds 10/5/2006 5:29:38 AM\|lhcathome\|Sending scheduler request to http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome_cgi/cgi 10/5/2006 5:29:38 AM\|lhcathome\|Reason: To fetch work 10/5/2006 5:29:38 AM\|lhcathome\|Requesting 17280 seconds of new work 10/5/2006 5:29:43 AM\|lhcathome\|Scheduler request succeeded 10/5/2006 5:29:43 AM\|lhcathome\|No work from project 10/5/2006 5:29:43 AM\|lhcathome\|Deferring scheduler requests for 1 minutes and 0 seconds 10/5/2006 5:30:44 AM\|lhcathome\|Sending scheduler request to http://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome_cgi/cgi 10/5/2006 5:30:44 AM\|lhcathome\|Reason: To fetch work 10/5/2006 5:30:44 AM\|lhcathome\|Requesting 17280 seconds of new work 10/5/2006 5:30:49 AM\|lhcathome\|Scheduler request succeeded 10/5/2006 5:30:49 AM\|lhcathome\|No work from project 10/5/2006 5:30:49 AM\|lhcathome\|Deferring scheduler requests for 1 minutes and 0 seconds and so on........
