zivis ?

Post by UBT - bobuk »

in my mail box today..........

***********************************
Dear Zivis users,

The new version of Zivis, multiproject and nation-wide, will launch
formally someday in June. But our informal launch, hoping to stress
the machine, is today :-)

Please feel free to register your BOINC client to http://registro.ibercivis.es/


Besides, a pre-release version of the corporate website is available
in http://w.ibercivis.es/ Yes, only one "w" character; it will switch
to www in the formal launch.

You may want to visit http://w.ibercivis.es/ in order to
geo-positionate yourself in order to appear in our

geopositioned maps: "current" activity of Ibercivis; same of a Team,
and same of the buddies of an user. All maps will be visible in
http://registro.ibercivis.es too; but the geo-positioning page is in the
corporate webpage.

To enter your position, once you have registered your boinc client
in "registro.ibercivis.es".
0.5)You can try using Microsoft Internet Explorer,but we recommend Firefox
to view our page.
1) Open your internet explorer and go to w.ibercivis.es. You can also use
Google to find our page.
2) Once there, write your email and password in the upper-right textboxes.

The system will also detect your registro.ibercivis.es login cookie, if
you have been there before.
2.5) You may get some error during login. Still, if you reload the

page and/or the frames, you will find yourself logged in (assuming you
entered the right password!)
3) On the right menu, click on Inicio - > Tus Datos Personales ->
Direccion y Mapa
4) Fill the most of Direccion (Direction), Ciudad (City), Pais (Country),
so that Google will try to locate the coordinate by itself. If Google fails, then position yourself in the map. To do this, simply click and drag the map
and use the left scroll to zoom in and out. When you are ready click on the
map and a red dot will show up. If you want to change your position, click
again and the red dot will move to the new position.
5) press the button "Enviar"(Send). You will get a confirmation dialog.

The help blogs and all the other communication tools, will not be active
until the formal launch. If you find some problem with the current

applications, your best hope is to voice it in your local forum and
expect someone from the developers team is reading.

Thanks!

That's nearly as bad a set of instruction I once had to deal with translated into English from Japanese by a Frenchman.

They were for an emergency fire pump...

I see a thread here, Worst Translations Ever.

lol bit like the instructions for a radio controlled car I owned.
Japanese -> English translation on how to build it.
And on one of the pages it stated.
"These tires do not ****"

And yes that 4 letter swear word was there, not * out, :lol:

No idea what it was supposed to say, but the diagram was explaining how to glue the tires to the wheel  :roll:

All over the show these WUs! Vary between 2 minutes and 40 minutes on this PC. With no progress percentage you've got no idea which you've got! I suppose it's more fun that way! :D

No checkpointing either. Just had to shut down the laptop for a while (well I'd got a good fry-up from the CPU heat already) and the current zivis WU was at 35 mins. After restart back to 0 mins.  :evil:
