I understand that if you gather 32 of them (hill-folk) in the same room, you get a full set of teeth.
...err, I bet this crowd could post an entire thread employing this kind of comedy. I shudder to think where it would end though. --NBIT

"Don't worry" usually means you should worry.

Or do you think WU results are all what counts?
What I think is that my comment was meant humorously, tongue-in-cheek. Don't take it serious, though it does have some basis in fact in the real world.

Yeeesh! Beverley Hillbillys proves that.

Yeeesh! You learn about the world from TeleVision? or Hollywood? That speaks volumes.

Don't like my "negatives vibes"? Ariel, with this project if you don't have hope you don't have anything. Your RAC of (currently) 10 and mine of zero supports that. And how do you deduce that hill-folk speak that way?

3) Garfield is up in the air and I don't know too much about it but don't worry we are looking at getting other projects onto LHC@home.

"Don't worry" usually means you should worry, or at least not get your hopes too high.

After doing the "update" in Boinc Manager

2005-10-25 18:33:15 [LHC@home] New host venue: 721168
Oops, ??

Still the same host ID on the website, and with correct info.

After closing Boinc and starting over

2005-10-25 18:40:44 [LHC@home] Computer ID: 21726; location: 721168; project prefs: default

Oops, location: 721168 ??

Edit1
I did an update on LHC@Home preferences. The location was set as "Home", but choose once again the "Home" as default location . Update on Boinc Manager, no effect.

Edit2
Went to the details of my host, location was set as "---", choose "Home" as location, did an update in Boinc Manager. Result:
25/10/2005 18:53:01|LHC@home|Computer ID: 21726; location: home; project prefs: default
All is well now.
The earlier 'location: 721168' was thus coming from the fact there was previously no location defined for my host in the host details.


@Thierry: I had a similar experience except in the sequence of events: I downloaded a WU and got msg that new venue was 7465.77. Being aware of this thread I went to the detail host info and saw that a previously OK set of data was now corrupted. I changed the venue to home and did boinc update which reset the venue. When the WU completed and reported, the host details were again reset to gibberish and the venue was back to ---. I reset it again and am waiting to see if the next report due will corrupt it again. I'm using Boinc 4.45.
