Just curious. This shows up on my Tasks summary page as Aborted By User, but it was never mine. All three of the failed tasks associated with the WU belong to other machines.

The machine is not actually yours?

None of the three machines listed as having crunched this WU are mine. I've never touched the WU. Proof: all three listed machines are Intel ... I run an AMD box.

Hi Mike

Thanks for pointing this out!

Computer 1120387 was attached to CPDN at 09:16 on 2 Dec. As this was its first model I looked to see whether by chance it belonged to
a new member.

Here's the list of most recently joined members. Eve O joined a little earlier and the computer she attached is #1120384. ADUTERNE from France joined a little later and the computer he attached is #1120392.

In between them is Kris Howard who joined CPDN at exactly the time when the mystery computer was attached. Unfortunately he's hidden his computer(s) so we can't check, but it's very likely that some or all of the 7 computers numbered between 1120384 and 1120392 belong to him.

This isn't certain though. The computer could belong to someone who's been a member for longer and attached an extra computer on 2 December.

We moderators can't see the database. We'll have to ask someone with access to look into this.

Mike

Click on your name to the left of your posts.
At the bottom of the page, click on View computers.

The list of computers shows one AMD, and one Intel T5600, which is a laptop. This is the one with the model in question.

Further, click on All computers.
The list now includes several Intels, and a Mac.

BOINCstats lists several users by the name BigMike.

Has anyone else been using your computer?
