Yes, it’s been a hell of a ride! Bravo to all our veterans (as well as to all the project’s “youngsters” of course…).

Bravo Ivan, you’re a hero! I’m so glad to hear you are recovering so well after such a bad accident. Keep up the progress and keep us all posted.

Here every day for 19 years.......not sure why.
I remember back in 2004 this seemed like it might last 5 years and then 10 years and then 15 years.......well by then how could I just stop?

So time for Year 20.......I know we have a few here still from back then but not here every day but glad they are still here too.

And even Ben Segal is still around once in a while.

.......𝓫𝓪𝓬𝓴 𝓽𝓸 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴

Yes, indeed I am!

Bravo Samson - and thanks to all our volunteers both young and old !!! Twenty years have passed like a charm…

Fixed now, enjoy Easter!

2004 - more than 1.000 days earlier, respect!

Actually only Sixtrack was running in 2004. Magic referred to T4T in 2014, probably concerning another issue. T4T ran first in 2010 or 2011.

Greetings to all old timers, and everyone else too!

Project-Server say no tasks for Theory.
any indication as to when tasks will be available again?

It's just been fixed - the problem was due to an error while upgrading a server at CERN.

ALICE, unlike the other three big LHC experiments, has never used BOINC and I’m almost certain they won’t change their mind about that.

Healthy New Year, everyone (for Thursday, if you're so inclined)

Even after all this time, I still can't resist grabbing a few Sixtracks when I spot a new batch.
(Not a full return as there's still Covid work to be done at WCG)

Biennial Scout trip to Kandersteg, postponed from 2019 to 2020, has now been pushed back to July 2022 so plenty of time to plan a drop-in en route.

Sounds good for a CERN drop-in!!

Hope to see you then (or even before?).

All the very best,

Ben
(had my first Covid vaccine shot yesterday in preparation...)

Yes, very interesting but nothing to do with Sixtrack or LHC@home. This describes the LHCb online triggering system.

Interesting video about gpu and LHC

The problem has just been fixed with the MCPlots server. In answer to an email, Anton replied: “ It is fixed now, thanks for the pointer!
The problem was a bug in a free disk space check which was added recently.”

Ah, perhaps you meant "flippable top to bottom", leaving only 88 and 101. So then you're either 61 or 74... But neither of those seems flippable to me - sigh!

So maybe you need to help me (us?) further...

Ciao, Ben

OK the link has been removed.

Thanks for the heads up.

The team.

That's what you get when scratching your head all the time: Hair loss ;)

It's a remnant from the time the Theory application was a standalone project: Test4Theory and VirtualLHC.
The domain www.citizencyberscience.net seems to be hacked or bought.


Then remove it from the menu immediately :-)

Ok ok you have more important things to do....
