After reading your stories about Damon, I'm left with one very strong feeling...that he was an uplifting example of what the best in us should look like. Loss always leaves us wondering why, along with all the human emotions that accompany it. I have had friends and relatives with...

Grandpa, thank-you for sharing your sweetheart's story. She sounds like a very special person that had an infinite ability to give. My wife is on oxygen 24x7 too, so your story especially hit home with me. I too look at her some days, knowing that it is a serious condition and I thank God for...

Erm...what he said. :D I only have (3) rigs Crunching with BoincTasks running on one of them. All (3) rigs still have BoincMgr running as well simply 'cause I wasn't sure that I would keep BoincTasks until I'd used it for awhile. What a great tool, especially for using just one PC to...

A great achievement DooKey...Congratulations!! :cool:

Alongside fastgeek, also had this one today...

Looks like the Network Upgrade work is done at WCG that was set to start at 10pm Eastern last night. All my rigs are functioning as usual (all uploads completed/reported) and plenty of work to do. Good job by Uplinger and the Guys at WCG...

Good news and always appreciate the progress communications that we get from WCG.:cool:

Linden, this may also be of use to you from the BOINC website regarding the BOINC Manager's "days of work" Preferences settings that we have been discussing. Minimum work buffer: This sets the minimum amount of work your BOINC is going to request.. It's the low water mark for BOINC, before...

In BOINC Manager, Tools, Computing Preferences, Network Usage tab, you can set the Minimum and Maximum Work Buffers set to x.x days each. It's personal choice, but if you have no additional buffer setup (i.e. 0.0 days), then when the Servers go off the air, and if they are no longer sending out...

Heads up, there is another "major upgrade" planned for this Saturday at WCG. If the last one is still fresh in your mind, you may want to set your WU Cache accordingly (especially if you run with 0.0 Cache setting). http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=421

Linden, one of the neat things about WCG is getting communications that reinforce why all your hard work makes a difference. In their "News" section, they do a good job of communicating with their donors and sharing information as to why your contribution matters. You also get a few emails...

I created a new thread over in the DC Guides with just a brief intro and a link that points back to this original thread. That way, we can leave this thread in tact, don't have to ask a Mod to do anything and can also have visibility to it over in the DC Guides section. I have gone to the...

There was already a useful thread initiated by RFGuy_KCCO about this very useful Tool for managing and checking Tasks status of multiple BOINC Clients on your network. Rather that move pieces of that thread over into this thread, I thought it may be OK to just provide the link (below) to the...

Thanks guys, this tool is really useful for me and I thank RFGuy for posting about it which is what led me to trying it. Wes, I'd read about BoincToolBox on the BoincTasks website and attempted to use it on my Remote Win7 PC. It would not work as described with my Firewall, so that is why I...

Gil, I was thinking that it should be added here because I thought this was the thread on this Tool. :D Is there a way to put this whole thread into the guide section? I don't know the particulars of how things are setup here, but am glad to do whatever is best.

I just got this running and it is fairly fresh on my mind. So, I thought maybe it could help someone else to share what I did to get this great Tool running/seeing all my PCs. I also give credit to many other people on the net who posted responses to people in my situation who couldn't seem to...

EXT, yes you are right and I figured that out today. I don't need Wine installed on my Ubuntu rig because I don't need to install/run BoincTasks on that rig. I already have BoincTasks setup on one of my Windows rigs as the "Host". As with my other Windows machines, on my Ubuntu rig, I edited...

+1 on the "Grandpa proof". While installing the software is relatively easy, getting through the changes to make your various PC's seen by the BoincTasks Tool was quite a project for me. I'm not a network guru (or even the guy that is worthy to shine their shoes), so it took a lot of Googling...

Regarding closing BOINC Manager here's how I do it. With your mouse hovered over the BOINC Manager top menu bar, you will see these new choices appear on-screen: This Exit Confirmation window appears where you can select a few optional items and then click "OK":

Got this one today...

I should have also mentioned that I'm on a newer version of BOINC with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I'm currently running BOINC version 7.2.39. I expect that Tear has many other things to do in life/work. If the pkg is updated at some point to run with a current version of BOINC, or can allow me to use...

Great job Linden...you are officially a "Cruncher" and welcome to the club!

Love that movie...

Yeeehaaa on those Primes found guys!! Gold stars to you...:cool:

I have a 2P (Windows rig) with 5680 Xeons. It makes a great Crunching machine and like you, I do a lot of other things with the 2P. It is my daily driver, gaming machine, video production rig and Cruncher all-in-one. When I was Folding on this 2P, most of the time I couldn't do a whole lot...

I sense a new tag-line or maybe badges that account for your chronological age in DC work. I'm 62 and figure that I'm not the oldest DC'er 'round here. I've run into them in other forums that were into their late 70's and still doing this work. Hope that I make it at least that far and can...

Linden, I'm running BOINC on my 4P (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) for Crunching and if it helps, here are the screenshots from my Preferences settings. They may not be totally optimized, but are working for me. Also, with WCG the team name is "HardOCP" as you will see from my screenshots. But with many...

Linden, did you ever venture over into the "darkside" and try Crunching or have you been Folding all these years? Just wonderin'...

Glad you are here HiTech, you chose well in a Team and "Howdy" to you too!

Congrats guys!! Got this one today in OET.

Been there myself Linden and a break is sometimes needed, especially in donor work of various types. Thank-you for giving to the work too and hope to see you back at it one day. Next week would be soon enough...jus kiddin'. :D

I still have a 4P (6180SEs) that I'd originally built for Folding Bigadvs. It has been a Crunching machine ever since I exited Folding back in Dec 2013. It would not be considered a "power house" compared to other Crunching rigs (especially for some of the Prime Grid WUs). But it respectfully...

Yes, the Folding-craze drove many of us into building rigs that we had never even thought of doing...and it was glorious!! I miss those days. But I'd already peaked (equipment-wise) before PG did their thing to Bigadv and would have been facing doing electrical capacity work in my home if I...

Waved hello at the 4M point level too and latest badge in Sophie LLR.

Good stuff 402. I'm looking forward to when they bring the Childhood Cancer II project to us and have many WUs done for MCM too. Just went Silver yesterday on OET and pinching Ruby's behind today. Also went Ruby in Beta with that recent deluge of OET beta work we saw last Friday.

Thanks Gil for that heads-up. Running some OET on my Tegra Note 7 right now.

Naw, I can go much lower than that...or would that be elevating the expectation? :D Back to the subject at hand. The points (and associated costs to earn same) remains an unresolved problem (for PG) when Folding Enthusiasts get involved. I always felt that PG could hear the concerns of...

Thank you AgriFan!! I'd stopped in here first today and read your post which sent me straight over to making sure my rigs were ready to get this work. All are now happily munching on OET WUs. :D

"Resistance is futile"

Congrats! So many projects, so few PCs to work 'em all...
