Re: CEP2 problem

Morning Team smile

@ Jonnieb-uk: I will refrain from posting my opinion of the 2nd quote you gave as my response would probably see me banned from the forums.... "Should we laugh or cry confused" or indeed, go in to the street, find the nearest brick wall and proceed to bang one's head against it (something I do a lot of at work also)...

Re: Which project to crunch next

@ fosking

Last Result Returned (UTC) 6/5/13 00:19:24 [44+ hour(s) ago]

Is there a problem? shock


Hiya, no problem here except before we came away on holiday, my wife went around and turned my pc's off without me knowing. So unfortunately I'm not back until Monday. On the plus side, my wife has just got her i7 back before we came away so that will help boost my RT back up.

Hope everyone is well and greetings from Rhodes!

Re: CEP2 problem

@ Thargor
Thanks for the explanation of knreed's post - crystal clear now. smile

@ Maugan
I noticed fosking lurking in the thread when I made the post which I thought was strange when WCG has logged no activity.

In other news:
Some members will call recall HCC temporarily ran short of work a few months ago causing much weeping & wailing and predictions that armageddon was upon us. The imminent end of HCC is having the same effect:
My results returned are following the same strange pattern as total results returned. 5 days ago I had a big spike in results. I got 294 when I usually get around 200. I than got 2 days of around 175 followed by 106 yesterday and only 55 for this morning. The same thing is happening with total results returned as there was a big spike 5 days ago and yesterday was poor. I would think that someone at WCG would see this pattern and would give the members a reason for it. We are investing both money and effort in this project and we deserve answers when there is an obvious problem.

and
As an extremely active member of HCC, it's time for me to vent.

After years of working on HCC, it seems HCC is shutting down. While I am happy that HCC seemed to have reached their mission, HCC didn't even have the common decency to send out an email 30-60 days prior stating so...or stating in LAYMEN'S terms, how the HCC worked, what's next, and when.

Instead, I wake up to find numerous machines with nothing to do and entries in the Messages area of BOINC that there are no more work units. After visiting the HCC News area of the website, I'm littered with garbledy gook phrases and sentences that only people with a PhD in Biology can understand. I'm also told that "at a later date" a new project will come about to continue to find a cure. When the heck is "at a later date"?! 2014? 2018?! Seriously!

I'm mad. Really mad! Why do projects like HCC treat their volunteers this way?! They (such as Christina in another thread) post very quick and bland messages every few months on the forum, give us laymen-folk 0 information on the progress, and then just shut down after receiving millions of dollars' worth of computing power. It adds up to nothing more than a "Thanks! Cya!" I want to find a cure for cancer. But the way HCC handled their shutdown/next wave of research is exactly the biggest reason why WCG only has a few hundred thousand active computers after almost 10 years of existence.

Think about it...850 million users on Facebook in only a few years, yet WCG can't even get .01% of Facebook's volume...and I would argue that EVERYONE wants to find a cure for cancer.


are just 2 examples. Should we laugh or cry confused I keep expecting to see Godwin's Law in action anytime now! biggrin


It amazes me just how few people contribute to such a great cause. I would have thought that a company the size of IBM could achieve more support. Shame we can't get Microsoft/Apple/Google to offer it as a software download/update or get PC manufacturers to offer it preinstalled on new computers!

Re: CEP2 problem

Indeed, it does seem a bit crazy that a large number won't crunch on any project. I can see that not everyone can afford to run 24/7 but even a few hours a day from lots of users will achieve a lot and a few hours won't rack up the leccy bill too much.

In all I have managed to get 1 person to join up to a DC project but unfortunately he only lasted for a few weeks and never heard from him again. One guy I know at work runs at seti, so far attempts to "convert" him have failed. Everyone else I have spoken to about this says "oooo no" and changes the subject or says "well they haven't found ET yet so what's the point?" even though WCG isn't that project. My brother and my other half have old laptops, or should that be ye olde laptope, which aren't used very often and usually on batteries so not much use.

And that "venter" (if there is such a word) in the HCC thread did certainly go a bit over board.

Mention of the "F" word in that post, is my mind playing tricks on me or was there a page set up on there for the team? I don't use the "Fbook"
