UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all So, the meeting took place as arranged and maybe 30-40 people turned up :-) (which was more than I was expecting) and it was good to meet forum members Jeffers and Chris (Suddick) who also came along. Prof Garret gave a nice talk for just under an hour, covering all sorts of matter, including...

Hi all

I'm offline now until tomorrow - a quick drive up to Manchester and maybe a nice curry on the Curry Mile

I will update if the T-shirts are still available, tomorrow.

Tim

Hi Tim, I'll go for an unsigned one please, the uneducated yobs I normally hang around with wouldn't even know what SETI means never mind who Eric Korpela is :o Have fun at tonights talk :) Mark Hi Mark OK - sold !! Can you ping me a msg with a delivery address please - it's fairly light so I can p...

Hi Boldy Welcome to the forum. Glad you were able to register OK and thanks for your patience, while the forum reg process was suspended. Shoutout to Tim btw for opening the doors after the wave of bot registrations, I think I am the first in since the registration lock. No worries :-) And needless ...

Hi Tim, I'll take one if it's going spare. If you get a better offer at the meeting then no problem. Mark Hi Mark Thanks for the message. Which one do you want? Plain or signed ? (The signed one is the one I'll take offers on... :-) The plain ones cost me abt £15 each, so that's all I want back.) A...

In fact, come to think about it, I still have some SETI 15th Anniversary t-shirts that were sent to me (on behalf of some UBT members, who then didn't make a purchase) from a couple of years ago...at least one of which is signed. I'll have to dig them out and put one on !! http://www.ukboincteam.or...

Hi Tim, Not necessarily, from Boincstats - If you do not do so your data will be removed from the export and in accordance with the GDPR all your data from these projects will be removed from BOINCstats as well. This data can’t be recovered! Mark HI Mark Maybe you are the wrong person to ask (Willy...

Hi Jeff If active members update their preferences, on the specific project websites, then they will get their credits back (on the stats websites). It's only really the inactives where the credits may not get returned, esp, as in CPDN, where they have actually deleted the inactive accounts. AFAIK, ...

NumberFields has also succumbed to the GDPR "bug" and you'll need to authorise them to export your data. Apparently it's been added to the latest Boinc server code as a default so expect every project to follow suit eventually as they "upgrade". Thanks for the info Mark Slightly connected, ClimateP...

Hi Jeff

Excellent stuff = well done

Tim

UPDATE:

If anyone does fancy coming along please send an RSVP email to the organiser:

james.o@mensanorthwest.com

They will then know (roughly) how many will be attending.

It's not that far a drive for me from Halifax (just need to cross the border from Yorkshire to Lancashire, scary!) so I might give it a go. I've no other commitments that night that I can see.... Just look for a balding bloke with a white beard! (and wearing braces (of the trouser variety!)) Hi Jef...

Hi both Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, mentioning UBT and it's prowess in supporting SETI (#1 Team in UK, #1 on SETI project, #1 in RAC on SETI, #1 in terms of membership size in UK) would be the #1 drivers for the flyer...and could indeed tempt people to give it a go. So, a bias on the flyer towa...

Hi all So, a quick thought. The above mentioned talk will be (mainly) about SETI, but I would also assume that some of those attending might not know anything about BOINC or even UBT. And I think it might be a good idea to put together some flyers and leave them around in the bar (where the talk is ...

I might try and get to this. It should dovetail well with another talk at Altrincham and District Astronomical Society on 4th Feb by Prof. Ian Morison of Jodrell Bank on "Are We Alone?" And there is bugger all on the tele to compete. Chris. Hi Chris Excellent stuff...hope to see you there :-) I'm n...

Hi Tim, Bit too far for me to go on a Monday night and expect to get there before it finishes :D Mark. Hi Mark That's a shame - though it is quite a way up from your normal stomping ground !! I'm not the organiser for this - it's been arranged by the North West branch of MENSA so I have no control ...

Hi all I am likely to be attending this: A FREE talk about SETI by: Prof. Michael Garrett, University of Manchester, Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics To be held from 6:30pm-10pm on 21st January 2019 at: The Albert Club, 39-41 Old Lansdowne Road, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 2PA Website for info...

Hi all

I missed spotting this, but it seems that UBT has now achieved the 900 BEEELLLION credits mark:

So, many grateful thanks to ALL concerned who have contributed to this fine total.

Hi all I've had this appear in BOINC Manager today: GoofyxGrid@Home NCI: Notice from server Monkeys v3 (NCI) - Generator/Word seed needs 9536.74 MB RAM but only 4094.49 MB is available for use. 30/12/2018 15:02:57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goofy...

Hi Neil

Excellent work - you really are motoring now

It won't be too long (at current rates) before you'll be much higher (in the team rankings) than the 14th place you occupy now
