Congratulations.

WARDSTAR --

Welcome to the BOINC world. I have my main system on it and love it (left the other so I can use it for answers to UD problems in the forums). I helped Spikey and Graham setting up the new forum last night and we got all of KeithHenry's wisdom moved over

Marcelle --

Sorry to see you go. We will miss you (especially me since I attended Earlham for a year). Best of luck to you.

Good Morning Guys

MyOnlineForum has a new home
We have moved all the contents over from the old Forum to the New Forum
You may be asking Why:

Here are the advantages of moving the forum:

More reliable hosting
Integrated website (main webpage, with forum on the same sub-domain)
More bandwidth than you can shake a stick at
No adverts
Integrated e-mail server
Detailed web-stats for the sub-domain, so we can monitor traffic
No google "bots"
We have control over:
mySQL database
Ranks
Themes
Forum mods (plugins)
Backup/restore functions
All this for less cost and total control
Plus facililities for an exciting New Team Website which will be coming in the very near future
Thank you all for your patience and understanding while all this reconstruction has been taking place

I had a 21 hour work day with all this reconstruction yesterday, phew
Dave Bell (Vice Captain) and Spikey_Richie (Vice Captain) have also put in many overtime hours getting all this ready for us
They deserve a big round of applause for their dedication and unceasing effort to MyOnlineTeam

Yes, you may want to tweak the "Connect to network about every X days" setting in your WCG device profile(s). Presuming that you crunch 24/7, the objective is to always have enough work available on your laptop so that you're always able to crunch - no downtime. You want to balance that with having too much work so that you're crunching on an old WU and impacting the time it takes to get a quorum on that WU. That doesn't mean that you want to set this to three days if you typically are away from your "home" router for three days at a time. You want to base this on how long you will typically be going without access to the net. So many places these days have net access available that even though you may be traveling, there will be opportunities to connect to the net. You also want to try to avoid major changes to this value. If you go from 0.1 to 5, you will get enough WU's downloaded at pretty much the same time. That is, those WU's won't be spread out over time. Also, this all presumes that you travel on a pretty regular basis. If it's more erratic with long periods between trips, this may not be the ideal approach for you. Keep in mind that you can always go to the Work tab and suspend each WU listed there, then go to the Projects tab and click on Update. That will result in a new WU being downloaded. You will want to swicth back to the Work tab and resume your current WU first and then any other WUs while the new WU is downloading. Otherwise, the new WU will start processing after it downloads.
