1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : Can't Add Resource Shares to Preferences (Message 19194) Posted 10 Mar 2008 by m.mitch Post: I tried to add additional resource shares to the local LHC preferences for work, school and home to the default. But it returned an error: Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /srv/httpd/lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/html/inc/util.inc on line 341 Anyone have any idea how to fix or work around this problem?
2) Message boards : Team invites : BOINC@AUSTRALIA (Message 19138) Posted 1 Mar 2008 by m.mitch Post: BOINC@AUSTRALIA needs help crunching extra science crunched in LHC. The Large Hadron Collider was on Catalyst on the ABC last Thursday night at 8:30PM and I hope you've popped in for a look and to check out some Australian teams. We are in tenth place in the world but other teams are starting to match and even exceed our growth. Please help us make a major contribution to science. You can click the hyperlink to join LHC as a team member of BOINC@AUSTRALIA. We'd be very glad to have you join our team and our very friendly forum.
3) Message boards : Team invites : Australian Alliance (Message 18282) Posted 18 Oct 2007 by m.mitch 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.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Please note: this project rarely has work (Message 17206) Posted 3 Jul 2007 by m.mitch Post: Yes we are still working on the transition here but if there were work units to be done they would be up and you would be crunching them. The users who generate the jobs are working on a bunch more but they are not ready yet. Thanks, but... It would be nice to see the 1.6.2007 home page updated more often. You may understand this, but just in case you or others don't, 1.6.2007 in the context of how dates are handled in UK / Europe means June 1, 2007, not January 6, 2007. I thought dd/mm/yy was the world standard just not the American World Stanadrd.

Not yet Alex, 4/07/2007 2:40:31 AM\|lhcathometest\|When convenient, detach this project, then reattach to http://lhcathometest.cern.ch/lhcathometest/ 4/7/07 2:40 GMT -10, 3/7/07 16:40 GMT Although detaching and reattaching fixed it on one PC. Cheers, Mike

7) Message boards : Cafe LHC : congrats to Keck Komputers (Message 15590) Posted 20 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: I want workunits, just to see that screensaver on my computer again!! :'( There's a screensaver?! :o Duh, it's one of the reasons I like this project. Link to BOINC Wiki I think Mike was teasing you, PA :) Maybe he was >_< I think he was. ;-) It's been so long since I used the screensaver, I don't remember what it looks like or if it's ever been on.

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Projects to mix with LHC (Message 15493) Posted 18 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: Mine are in the first graphic and the team's are in the second: It suits me. ;-)
10) Message boards : Number crunching : Deletion not happening (Message 15490) Posted 18 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: I was hoping that had something to do with all the pending results still showing up. :-( Maybe not. Can't complain though, I only have about 50. This bloke has 216!! That's about 1,080 rows still filling up the database form a fault in one user's part of the project.
11) Message boards : Team invites : Australian Alliance (Message 15451) Posted 13 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: Last time i looked we had snuck into 29 in the world :) Not bad at all for such a small country Yeah, that happened just after I posted that message. :o
12) Message boards : Number crunching : work waiting on the 8th of november (Message 15406) Posted 9 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: Hallo Sysfried and LHC volunteers, We are alive indeed, and yesterday and today we met at CERN with the Queen Mary College staff members who will be taking over the system administration and operation of the LHC@home server. They will introduce themselves shortly to all our volunteers and let you know the timeline of the server move as planning proceeds. Ben Segal / LHC@home Thanks Ben, Your update is most welcome. By the way, you even manged a star placing in a team fora for this. :-D
13) Message boards : Number crunching : Did everyone get work 02 Nov UTC? (Message 15357) Posted 5 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: .... (1) set the cache to 2 hours. (1 day/12 hours = 0.0833333333333333333333333333333333334) It fits. .... Why 2 hours instead of say 70 minutes? (.05) The cache could be set to 3 hours (1 day / 8 hours = 0.125) Between 0.083.... and .125 is 0.1, the default setting. It does just fine. ;-) I was shocked that so many decimals places showed up on the other platforms, I thought it would have been truncated at about four.
14) Message boards : Number crunching : When you see work is around ... (Message 15347) Posted 4 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: Great, just great! I grew up in Texas and don't understand what nary means. :( Galeon 7, Here's the thing, okay. It's not a secret. Everyone outside the USoA knows America is cultivating it's own language. Let's just get it done and move on. Struth! (In Merikan, read shoot! In French, zoot! And so on). :-P 8-)
15) Message boards : Number crunching : Did everyone get work 02 Nov UTC? (Message 15346) Posted 4 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: Got NO LHC work at all. Why - Well I think it was because - After months of being on 24/7, I decided to switch off while I was away on holiday this last week. Bloody typical - All that work and I missed it. Colin, here are my two rules to give anyone the best chance at getting work units from any project: (1) set the cache to 2 hours. (1 day/12 hours = 0.0833333333333333333333333333333333334) It fits. (2) leave the PC's attached to the project. This way, you're banging on the project door every 2 hours and saying, "Are we there yet?" ;-) The response is binary!

17) Message boards : Number crunching : Trouble Returning Results (Message 15276) Posted 1 Nov 2006 by m.mitch Post: Thanks, I'll wait and see how it goes. One of my boxes has put LHC on hold for a week :-( but I'll give it a couple of days and try again.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : Trouble Returning Results (Message 15264) Posted 31 Oct 2006 by m.mitch Post: Checked this link New server: report broken links etc here and this link When you see work is around ... but didn't find an answer. So is any one else having trouble getting results back to LHC? If you know how to get around the problem, I'd appreciate an idea? Thanks
19) Message boards : Number crunching : LHC@home server being reconfigured today !! (Message 14682) Posted 20 Sep 2006 by m.mitch Post: Ben, Before you send out new work, would it be possible to clean out all of the old orphaned results from the database (Some dating back over a year)?? Thanks, Glenn Yes, I appreciate that too. Thanks.
20) Message boards : Number crunching : When can we expect the next batch of wu's? (Message 14538) Posted 13 Aug 2006 by m.mitch Post: Hi Mike! HMS Cerberus doesn't show up in a Google search unless you include the 'HMS' Fascinating story, though! Is it visible at low tide? HMVS Cerberus - His Majesty's Victorian Ship Cerberus. Pre-Federation Battleship - Non dreadnought. I know it's there, I've divied in and around it. ;-)
