1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : deadline does not match net connect frequency (Message 16115)

That's the part you did wrong. If you won't reach deadline in time, don't download so much work. That's what the deadline is for. Project expects work within X days. If the deadline wasn't there, somebody would download literally a thousand workunits and scientists would have to wait a month to get results back.


It just seemed obvious and consistent to me that i could not get workunits with a shorter period til deadline than dedicated (set in general preferences) period of network disconnectedness. Allright, now i know, it was an outgrowth of my perfectionistic fantasies only.
But after all, previously got one or two workunits at once, whereas when set network frequency at once in 10 days, the startling amount of workunits really will be huge. How do you know that in advance while jesus sleeps on?

Hello people and Merry Christmas to everybody

It seems i am the first one who has to set the network connect frequency to once in 10 days...
Positively was to get a real lot of workunits then, but the problem i had was the deadline :(
I loaded the workunits in the morning at 24 Dec but the deadline is at 31 Dec, so i have a chaos, because i need my only one ethernet cable for my laptop while being at a congress in berlin between chrismas and new years eve and will be back as recently as 3 Jan.

And i have been soooo glad to have soooo much lhc workunits :(

Ja, hallo

Ich selbst setze auch sehr grosse Stuecke auf dieses Projekt und bin der Meinung dass QMC auch manchen nicht-BOINC-Projekten ein Vorbild ist. Der Eintrag wird ja nun so wie es aussieht zum Glueck nicht geloescht. Mein Fazit aus dem was ich von der Diskussion mitbekommen habe ist, das leider Projekten die noch in der Entwicklungsphase sind, oder wie QMC in der Beta-Phase, zu oft Steine in den Weg gelegt werden indem sie, ungeachtet dessen dass zu den Projekten ohnehin noch wenig Informationen oeffentlich zugaenglich sind, von vielen Leuten unueberlegterweise als irrelevant abgetan werden. Dabei sind es doch eher diese Projekte, die besondere Aufmerksamkeit verdienen und benoetigen.

Maybe a free online translation service can be helpful:
http://world.altavista.com/
They updated their translation engine shortly, but of course, it still is not as good as human translation and need to be improved by hand. There are others like altavista out there too, with support for languages like polish.

Very inspiring article.
I did work out on that article, so that i have wrote down about 98% of the spoken content. (In written form i haven't found that text in the web) Some words i still haven't understood although i listened the slideshow in many loops, partially because i am wether a native english speaker or a physicist with university degree, and, partially because at some positions, they talk too fast for me and the acoustics aren't the best.
I think it would be helpful for others too to have this text, but i think that actually there possibly could be a problem with the copyrights, if it is directly published in public.
So, if someone of you is interested to elabor any further on that, please feel free to let me know.
