2) Message boards : Number crunching : Because you asked.... (Message 16704) Posted 14 Apr 2007 by Vid Vidmar* Post: It's boinc debt view. For link, ask google.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : A Miracle! (Message 15837) Posted 19 Dec 2006 by Vid Vidmar* Post: Yaaaaaaay!!! Server Status Up, 28534 workunits to crunch Almost all my machines got some... I am a very happy cruncher!
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Rosetta goes to full production. (Message 10693) Posted 11 Oct 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: I would blame web page caching...
5) Message boards : Number crunching : A Wu pending since 5 Jul 2005 18:55:05 UTC (Message 9134) Posted 3 Aug 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: Take a look... I am the only one that is still "pending". :D Happy crunching,
6) Message boards : Number crunching : This guy really needs to check his computer, or overclock less... (Message 9018) Posted 29 Jul 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: > This > guy also: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/show_host_detail.php?hostid=34918 With this one, the problem is, BURP somehow took over LHC. (or was it the other way around?) Happy crunching,
7) Message boards : Number crunching : we're not resigning!!!! (Message 8162) Posted 22 Jun 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: I'm not ditching LHC also. [edit] that's what BOINC being multiproject is all about. [/edit] Thumbs up.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : WU's not listed in the resultstable. (Message 7986) Posted 6 Jun 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: This is a common problem with newer versions of BOINC (4.35+,4.4x). It affects all projects and my observations are posted on several forums-threads, latest is here. (Hope, devs will take notice) Happy crunching,
9) Message boards : Number crunching : BURP Warning ... !!!

It may be, that you have an outdated BOINC client (versions prior to 4.41 have caused such problems). Happy crunching,
10) Message boards : Number crunching : quiet (Message 7192) Posted 25 Apr 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: 0 WUs for me either... But, fortunately there are other projects to crunch. :]]
11) Message boards : Number crunching : New WU -- no check point.

Strangely enough, they also > continue after the machine has been restarted. > The setting is found under "Your Account" -> "General Preferences" -> > "Leave applications in memory while preempted?". > > Hope this helps you, it certainly helped me. Now I understand why I didn't have this problem. I turned this setting on, when I read somwhere, that CPDN backs 170TS on restart if app. isn't preempted. Happy crunching,
12) Message boards : Number crunching : Status of the new clients (Message 6933) Posted 10 Apr 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: > > > They were chrunched using app. ver. 4.64 or am I misstaken. > > > The bugfix is in app. ver. 4.66, right??? > > > > Great! How the hell did I get work for the broken client? > > Bad luck I guess. The first unit I got yesterday used 4.64 and the next used > the new 4.66. Same here. But fortunately it was just a single v.4.64 WU. I only noticed 1 0 CPU time WU with v.4.66 (in alpha test) and am still uncertain what caused it. Happy crunching,

Have also herd/read about the other projects you mentioned, therefore I was hoping you would list a project I haven't heard of. Happy crunching

Please, tell me more about those 3 alpha/beta projects, as I allways love to try new things (and later rant about them :D).
15) Message boards : Number crunching : WUs starting from beginning at each start of BOINC (Message 6337) Posted 4 Mar 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: > > Looking into the tab "Disk" I have still some 1,12GB free for Boinc, so > I > > don't believe that this could be the cause of the problem as I saw it. > > Same conclusion for me, and there has been no significative change on free > space on my hard drive for the last week/month, and this phenomenon begun 2 > days ago (or maybe yesterday). > > That is weird, I'm wondering if anyone else than Thierry and me is > experiencing the same thing. I am. And I pointed it out on another thread to no avail. I beleive that this behaviour has something to to with all those 0 time results.

17) Message boards : Number crunching : cpu time ok... but zero credits granted (Message 6308) Posted 3 Mar 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: That's it... Have a look: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/results.php?userid=3120 I'm suspending this project until this zero time error is fixed. What I cant understand is, why didn't project managers set the validator to award max. credit to 0 time results if there is a >0 time result received for the same WU.
18) Message boards : Number crunching : cpu time ok... but zero credits granted (Message 6261) Posted 2 Mar 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: If nothing changes for the better in a day or so, I am suspending this project until this is fixed.
19) Message boards : Number crunching : cpu time ok... but zero credits granted (Message 6257) Posted 2 Mar 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: I've been investigating a bit further... And was unable to find to which file LHC stores progress info. Did find a .zip file that was updated at the time CC switched from LHC to another project, but didnt find anything resembling CPU time in any of zipped files.
20) Message boards : Number crunching : cpu time ok... but zero credits granted (Message 6255) Posted 2 Mar 2005 by Vid Vidmar* Post: Man! A state-of-the-art app. that cant tell time. Wonder, who's the fool here. Will keep it running just for good laughs. ;]]
