New Year, New Team Crunches

UBT - Halifax-lad · Post by **UBT - Halifax-lad** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 6:13 pm

Well its getting closer to 2007, I'm sure there will be plenty of people who wish to get the 1st Team Crunch of 2007 out of the way and set us on track to have the all the more regularly

So time to discuss what project we want to do as a team and for how long, maybe a weekend or a week who knows.

I think the projects we should try and focus on for crunches are the ones we still need to get into number 1 position for.

Our Sneaky Club has taken care of some projects and I'm sure will continue on been successful.

So then poll time, I'm going to list all the projects we are not number 1 in. I can't see us ever going for a CPDN crunch but its included any way seen as though its a team decision, theres a couple of others that prob won't make it until they sort there credit problems out and other various reasons etc etc.

PS: If members want other projects adding to the poll I will soon alter it, just thought it would be good to work on the UK number 1 spots.

Poll runs for 14 days, any one want any changes to the poll

So vote up until 14 Jan 07

I assume everyone is OK with the choices of project then?

For some reason I didn't notice this!

Anyway, my current fave is up there - so OK with me!

Weird, I missed this too. Put it down to being too lazy to log into the forum, oops!

Still. I'd be all for Einstein as I tend to do a lot on that anyway!

I agree, Einstein always has work and is quite generous with it`s credit, so it`s good for the team in general.

Einstein gets my vote too.

OK, well it looks like Einstein will more than likely be the project we do. Still more time yet for people to submit there choice though.

So next choice is weekend or week long

Synergy's January project is Einstein (despite more votes to continue with WCG)

That doesn't make much sense

Perhaps their team works on a US style democracy

It sure is odd

Its like me saying I know you all want to do Einstein but tuff as I fancy CPDN so I will make CPDN the crunch

Any how any one got a problem with Einstein been for a week

Say starting 19th Jan 2007

As Einstein appear to be having frequent problems over the last few days
Einstein@Home STATUS

[Last update: Mon Jan 1 18:40:12 UTC 2007]

Einstein@Home will be offline until further notice.

The main file server has failed once again. At this time we do not know
how serious the problem is. The project may be down for a couple of days
until a temporary replacement fileserver can be put in place.

More news will be posted here as it becomes available.

Thank you,
David Hammer

perhaps whatever is second choice should be put on standby

I cannot remember which project it was but one of them was brought to it's knees by a competition between teams (it probably was one of the smaller ones)

Hi Rick,

Think we need to edit your posting....

I agree, Einstein NEARLY always has work

And if it's now offline, and not coming back soon, then a back-up project needs to be considered. Maybe the 2nd placed project in the poll should be considered?

regards

Tim

Yup just work down the list of winners until one of them have work, with any luck Einstein will be fine by the time we get around to it

Harharrrr....

So my sneaky plan to get the project I voted for worked!!

KOD works its magic again!

:D

It was a left-hand not knowing what the right-hand is doing type of situation (lack of communication). Hopefully once they get into the rhythm of doing it things will start working better. Actually it's now changed - because the Einstein fileserver is broken, it's now uFluids, the third choice! <grins>

Your exactly right (Or left ? :lol: ). I do believe we have a handle on things now. Although as I've mentioned elsewhere, Its obviously still in its infancy as of now.

Looks like I put the kiss of death on Einstein :oops:

Perhaps it`s fileserver problem will be over by the 19th.

Rick.

Well if its still down then we can do the next project on this list which at the moment would be SETI Astrouplse

I got a rival in the KOD stakes then?

:D

Go Astropulse!

My personal choice would be for a weekend, but as I haven't done any Einstein for a looong time a week long would be fine as well. SETI-Astropulse not bothered.

Now then is Einstein working today?

No - ho hum....

How long does this go on for? I've suspended work on other projects just would like to know when to check back for the next big crunch or resume other projects.

Post by **UBT - Mikee** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 7:22 am

We haven't started yet! I think Halifax--lad will give us the time of starting later.

UBT - Halifax-lad · Post by **UBT - Halifax-lad** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 8:58 am

Will put a date on later on today when I get back from work as the poll is nearly due to expire and close down
