Why thank you kind Sir. Actually, I started it several weeks ago but got distracted while I was doing it and then forgot all about it until I discovered it yesterday and decided to join the team. I hope the 65K+ credits are added to the team and not just lost. If the latter then "Sorry Chaps, won't let it happen again!"UBT - Calum Mercer wrote:Welcome to Dimes UBT - Chris Suddick - an excellent boost to our performance.

Seems this has gone pear shaped!
Getting multiple
Seems like a lot of other people are as well as the stats show a lots of '0's on the 'last update' and yesterdays results are a lot lower than usual for all teams.
Been reported on the forum but no reply from the admins yet. I suspect they're on holiday! :D

I've only got the one agent running on my systems at the moment, to give as much of my resources to the SAP crunch as is possible. I'll bring my other agents online again in a week or two.

Simple. I run Virtual Server 2005. Inside that I have several installed virtual machines with various levels of OS installed on them. I use those to test the software that I develop on various platforms before it gets released. I've also used VMs to test out software that I don't want to (potentially) break my development system.UBT - Halifax--lad wrote:I wanted to know how you do the VM thing
BTW, MS recently made Virtual Server a free download. You can get it here:

Hi guys
There have been some problems in our servers in the previous days, mainly because of lack in hard disk space. we have too much data accumulating i guess... anyway , it is fixed now
In any case of a problem , you can email me at ohad@eng.tau.ac.il - sometimes it takes me some time to even know of a problem existance , so your help will be valued greatly.
thanks to jjjpflin for keeping me posted.
Ohad

Up to 28th now!
In my effort to break everything (doing well - broke most things in 1 way or another) Just found out how to break this!
Anyone tried to uninstall it? The uninstaller removes most things but leaves a chunk in memory and won't uninstall even by deleting from the 'programs' folder. You have to use the uninstaller, then reboot to remove the stuff stuck in RAM! Then delete the remains from the 'programs' folder. You could probably use the 'task manager' to stop the process but it wasn't obvious which was causing the prob.
Reinstalls OK though.
OK - What's next to break! :withstupid:

Right click on the task bar select properties, last option should be hide inactive icons if it is ticked then press customise in there is a list of every program that has ever or is now displaying a icon in the sys tray. You can hide ones forever, hide them when inactive or show always each one can be individually configured.
i have my box ticked and had to set DIMES to show always otherwise it soon got hidden

Been there - done that! It just disappeared. I know it was running as when I tried to restart it told me so! I think it may have happened when I opened it from the tray. When you do the icon disappears until you close the agent window. I have a feeling it it didn't go back to the tray and sulked.UBT - Halifax--lad wrote:Right click on the task bar select properties, last option should be hide inactive icons if it is ticked then press customise in there is a list of every program that has ever or is now displaying a icon in the sys tray.

I've changed it to 'always show' now anyway.
Getting bored of breaking this - can I try something else now? :D

No need - all ready broke! But not Dazza's fault and nothing he can do about it. Some of the RAC's are all pear shaped! I.E. Haven't done BURP for months and shows a RAC of 203. Total RAC of 704? I wish!UBT - Halifax--lad wrote:Try and break your Sig to give Dazza some work to do
As far as I can see the Stats sigs are unbreakable (from this side anyway).

Nope not broken some projects operate there credit differently, some will let it gradually reduce to zero others don't have that option switched on so they RAC doesn't change if you don't produce anything.UBT - Mikeejones wrote:No need - all ready broke!

BURP just happens to be one that doesn't have the option turned on as yet

It is and also all the trouble over there has not helped, when they get back to work everything will be adjusted again it happened once before and they just tweeked it all to work correctly and also the DIMES were set correctlyUBT - Calum Mercer wrote:it must be a very long holiday - seems to have been happening for a long time now!

It does run automatically it just gets bugs in there now and again and it needs a poke with a stick much like what happens to projects every now & again on BOINCUBT - Calum Mercer wrote:I just assumed that it was something that ran automatically and so holidays etc wouldn't really affect it.
In case it isn't obvious I'm not a techie

Is Dimes Dead?
This is the latest post on the Dimes forum : http://www.netdimes.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1379
The fact that nobody is replying from NetDimes makes me wonder if this is the end of Dimes.
I wouldn't be that worried but noticed that early this afternoon all my agents lost contact with the servers. :roll:Well, I've tried to PM Eran, Yoav, and Ela . . . and all went to my outbox . . . not sent.
I tried e-mailing Eran and Yuval and I will wait a couple days to see if they got through or were picked off by spam filters.
I tried calling Eran, but no answer or answering machine.
I called Yuval and left a message.
We'll have to wait a couple days to see if there's any response.
If I don't hear anything from anyone by Oct. 10th . . . I'm pulling the plug entirely on this project.

I spoke too soon. Only lasted a couple of hours and now it's down again. Still no communication from the staff on the boards. As a result of this, I've made up my mind not to waste any more processing cycles on this thing and to ditch the project completely. :evil:Martle wrote:It's just this minute kicked back in again. :shock:
