UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi Mark No worries ;-) In the end it was a very simple fix...but it was beyond me... And as Chris guessed it was all down to the phpBB cache throwing a wobbly...once the extension was disabled. Janos came to the rescue, purged the cache manually and all was good again. And I've learned something too...

Hi all Apologies for the small amount of down time. I'd been advised by my hosting provider to upgrade my installed version of php, plus I'd also seen a comment about their being Adverts being detected by Adblocking software. So, I tried to upgrade the former and disable the latter (as it wasn't act...

Hi all

New member registration has been suspended again, due to a large number of spambot registrations.

It will stay like this for a short period.

Hi all So, for those who don't like M$ Windoze and can't get along with Linux, there aren't too many options. But one that has been coming along for a while is ReactOS, that allows you to run *some* (mainly older) Windows programs, without Windoze being installed. And there's news that a new version...

PDW was just a blip so UBT secure at UK number 1 (for now)

Mark

Well done Jeff....

WCG has had many sub-projects over the years, so earning a badge before the sub-project closes is a good achievement

Hi Jeff Excellent stuff !! In the good old bad old days of Win XP Pro, I experimented with dual displays but it always went a bit t*tsup - probably because the CPUs and GPUs weren't really up for the task. I then tried with Win 7 Pro and despite newer CPUs / GPUs and better monitors, (using HDMI, in...

Hi all Looks like NVidia have dropped the ball quite a bit, going by the recent financial reports they've posted in the last few days: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/02/15/crypto_crash_leads_to_inventory_pileup_at_nvidia_sales_slaughtered/ For Nvidia's Q4 ended 27 January, reported revenues slum...

Hi Good to hear from you :-) That's a good total...but I might have to trump you ( a little bit) as I just hit the 144 beeellion mark !! PC power supplies seems to be a bit of a curse for most crunchers...I've had a few go faulty, and sometimes, it can have knock-on effects if it damages any other p...

Hi Mark

Excellent work....well done !!

And thank you for being pretty much the Team member who has got UBT into this position... 33.6m credits, out of a team total of 40m, is pretty awesome

It's only going to get worse, VGTU didn't independently add it to their site, it's been incorporated into the latest BOINC server code and any project that updates will end up needing crunchers to agree. Hi Mark Agreed.... It would be easier but there's no centralised BOINC configuration location. ...

Hi both On the mobo front - I was going to "sleep on it" and leave it until tomorrow to decide whether to buy, but with now 4 left, I've pulled the trigger on one piece... !! It might be older tech, but I've got a box of bits that are just lying around and I'd like to put it back into action. I was ...

Hi Chris They have now sold 17 in the last 24 hours....and now 9 left. There is a small saving to be had for multiple items...but the saving isn't much compared to the extra cost of receiving one delivery (of a number of mobos)and then re-sending them to anyone else who was interested. (ie 74.99 vs ...

Hi all Anyone still interested in the Intel S2600CP Dual Xeon server mobo's? This ebay seller has listed them for 74.99 each + free UK postage. Or buy 2 for 71.24 ea or 3 for 67.49 ea....or 4 for 63.74 ea https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273686871588 They also seem to include 1x heatskink plus the I/O shi...

Excellent stuff Penny - Well done

Hope you can get a few more WCG badges in due course.

Hi Mark Thanks for the heads-up. I checked and it is set to being a UK team...however, more ominous was the fact that I wasn't a member of the Team (even though I am the founder)!!! So, I just re-joined and all is good. Not sure if the stats websites are updated yet with whatever info is being glean...

First project to get to a billion credits with Collatz. Hi Jeffers Excellent work - well done !! It'll probably be a long time before I get another... Maybe I should swap back to Primegrid, that's my second most high scoring project? I think it boils down to whether you want to become a multi-billi...

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.
