Post: Calling all members of BOINC@AUSTRALIA! You may be aware that Aussie Assault 7 is due to begin (on 01 June) and will run until 14 June. The target is WCG - World Community Grid. This project actually crunches four separate causes:- 1) Fight Aids at home 2) Genome comparison 3) Human Proteome folding 4) Help cure Muscular Dystrophy WCG is slightly different to the other BOINC projects. If you have any difficulty attaching, check the team forum. Help is available! Any other 'homeless' crunchers out there who would like to join in the fun, feel free - we are the No.1 Australian team, currently in 18th position Combined Boinc World ranking. Visit the team forum here for more details about the team.

Post: Sorry to be using an old post but just to show that not everyone here is having problems......... Problem is still happening! (and there is another thread about it) I too have never had problems with duplicated hosts. My machine still contacts LHC regularly to check for work and I have gone through all the client versions of BOINC. |

Post: G'day crunchers everywhere! We are now starting Aussie Assault 6 (AA6). After being runner up in the last few polls for the AA, Einstein has been chosen to be the project which will receive our concentrated attention for the next few weeks. Bruce Allen who is the Forum moderator, Project administrator, Project developer and Project scientist for Einstein has agreed, after much persuasion from members of the Team, and instigated by Mike Mitchell, to crunch Einstein for our Team. He has started this already and his numbers are very impressive. The Aussie Assaults are a regular team-building exercise we run here at BOINC@AUSTRALIA - the results are always impressive and we have great fun at the same time. In the last Assault (on ABC@Home) another team - l'Alliance Francophone - learnt how much fun these assaults can be and helped both BOINC@AUSTRALIA and the project itself achieve spectacular results. (overview of that assault here.) So - Gentlemen - START YOUR ENGINES !!!

Post: *** UPDATE TIME ! *** Almost two weeks have passed since AA5 on ABC@Home drew to a nail-biting close. Both teams - BOINC@AUSTRALIA and l'Alliance Francophone gained a lot from the two weeks. We have also gained ground in combined ranking - now placed 25th overall in team ranking. Some of the guys are having a 'mini-assault' on one of the 'medical' projects - why not visit our forums and see if you can find out which project? All of the individual project sub-fora are open to public view. Link to the forums index - http://xsorbit31.com/users5/boincaustralia/index.php Next item on the agenda for the team? Discussions will be opening shortly to decide the target for AA6! |

Fairer distribuiton of work(Flame Fest 2007)
(Message 16400)
Posted 24 Feb 2007 by John Hunt
Post: This is a bit of an anachronism, but in terms of "fairer distribution of work", one should seriously consider participating in a BOINC project called XtremLab. Sorry for delayed reply to this post! XtremLabs admins are noted for their lack of communication and updates - last update on the front page was August last year. On a separate issue, some crunchers have stopped doing this project because of the blatant 'overclaiming' of credits that was being done by some of the top crunchers. Admins were made aware of the situation, but nothing seems to have been done. On QMC, however, where a similar thing has been happening, the admins have stated publicly that something is going to be done - credits deducted! Nanohive is another project where this is happening. Most of this overclaiming is due to the use of Boinc 5.5.0 which is infamous for overclaiming. On a project where quorum 2 is needed, all it takes is two results using 5.5.0 to get inflated credits. HashClash and Pirates have found a way to stop the use of 5.5.0; wish all projects could find a way to do this! |

Post:  The Aussie Assault on ABC@Home is coming to an end and it has been a fantastic experience for all involved. l'Alliance Francophone ran up nearly three million credits and us Aussies are just creeping up to the two million mark now. At the end of the day, though, it's not just the credits - it's the enjoyment of competition, team spirit and understanding different nationalities/cultures. The guys at AF now realise exactly what we try to achieve on these Aussie Assaults and have thanked us for showing them something extra that can be gained from BOINCing. The head honcho on the project - Hendrik - deserves a special mention for keeping everything together while two teams of looneys went at it hammer and tongs! Looking forward to Aussie Assault 6..........  |

Post: For Led Zeppelin afficionados - Dazed and Confused. Yes - it's the full version from 'The Song Remains The Same' including the fantastic violin bow sequence from Jimmy Page. Special note - watch the very end of the piece - note the speed at which John Bonham plays the drums. It is not a camera trick!  |
