5) Message boards : Number crunching : Current timestep (Message 18813) Posted 28 Dec 2005 by old_user194 Post: Thanks pindakoe. Unfortunately I\'m running the windowed (windoze) version which doesn\'t supply a boinc.log. I should have specified in the initial post. (embarrassed smiley)

8) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : CPDN WOWmugs are available to buy! (Message 10461) Posted 6 Mar 2005 by old_user194 Post: >Importer Following on from Astro's post, if anyone there imports a certain white powder then maybe they can hide the mugs amongst it so as to escape detection.

12) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Four times as much energy is used to produce a PC as it uses during its whole lifetime (Message 8424) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user194 Post: This <a href="http://www.actco.org.au/charitycomputers/"> Charity Computers </a> is the local (Canberra, Oz) place. Church-based, operates out of a disused high school. It is mostly volunteer-run, gets donations from individuals and gubbument depts upgrading in batches of 1,000; P1-P3s, refurbishes them and provides them to anyone with any sort of Social Security card at $AU 50-250. Incidentally, a P3-500MHz boots 'doze '98 much faster than my 3GHz HT P4 boots XP. Presumably there are similar organisations in other parts of the world.

15) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Crichton book review (Message 8312) Posted 1 Feb 2005 by old_user194 Post: >the true story of climate change Just like the bible tells the true story of the history of the universe. In both cases a bit of evidence would be a nice thing. The difference being that Crichton's book is labelled fiction.

17) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : anyone want to talk to the Press? (Message 7613) Posted 25 Jan 2005 by old_user194 Post: But you're probably looking for something non-sarky, which leaves me out.
18) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : anyone want to talk to the Press? (Message 7587) Posted 25 Jan 2005 by old_user194 Post: Ozzie doesn't participate any more now that Black Sabbath has disbanded. :) I'm sure there are some clones... Anyway, you're staff so you should be able to do a database query. I participate but am considered extremely interview-unfriendly. Both comments on the board and my employment record for the last 20 years bear this out.
19) Message boards : Number crunching : Schedulers down too now..? (Message 6741) Posted 8 Dec 2004 by old_user194 Post: In your boinc client click Settings/Attach to Project. In the Project URL: field type (or copy-and-paste) http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc In the Account ID: field copy-and-paste the account ID from the email that you received when you created an account with CPDN. Normal Windoze hilighting copies a space at the end of the selected string, ensure that there is no space there before clicking OK. Click OK. Assuming the URL is working and you supplied a valid Account ID and everything's working at Oxford, your client will then download a client and a WU and start processing it.
20) Message boards : Number crunching : What's with this and Mac (Message 6646) Posted 6 Dec 2004 by old_user194 Post: Dogbytes, your problem is possibly because large parts of the site are down at the moment. Carl has suggested this as an alternate URL to attach to: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc
