1) Message boards : Cafe CPDN : Please click for the forest (Message 6934) Posted 14 Dec 2004 by old_user27238 Post: I know this has nothing with S@h to do, but by clicking on this link: http://www.ettklickforskogen.se/engelska/ettKlickeng.asp you will help preserve the forest in Sweden. One click saves 8,5 decimeters. Please hurry and click ones a day, that would a responsible S@h member do. They only has untill june 2005 to collect a million SEK - so remember to click ones a day. As a member of S@h I hope you care as much for nature as for life in space - remember no nature no life so if anyone should be able to find us in the future, we need to preserve our nature.
2) Message boards : climateprediction.net Science : Forum for \"lost units\" (Message 6933) Posted 14 Dec 2004 by old_user27238 Post: Following WU is lost due to crash in BOINC, and will therefor not be sent in before deadline: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/workunit.php?wuid=341177 This was just a service message, to the administrators, such as they can have it recalculated before deadline instead of declaring "Out of work". But will I still keep the credit that I achieved before the WU got lost in my crash?

And thereby, the total size used by the model. And it was that number there were declining from approximately 700 Mb to 0 - at which point I could see that the model was lost. By the way I can meantion to you, that I did not recieve any information in the message tab - the model simply got lost without a word or any description on what went on. I have never seen anything like that, not in SETI though it has it's own bugs, nor in LHC, P@h or back a while ago in Astropulse. So I guess, it maybe could have something to do with the model that I was working on - or I don't no. Thanks for your reply. It's nice to see the administrators take note of posible malfunctions in their programming or WU.

It just continued to loose model memory, and very rapidely declined towards 0 memory used, down from approximately 700 Mb. This is what I mean by "couldn't start again" - so as you probably can see, no matter what the model was obviously lost - anyhow, I guess thats what happen occatually, but folks just don't wan't to work on a project if it happens to often for that specific project. Well have fun and keep crunch for whatever you may feel matters. And thanks for your answers, the have made it all a little more clear to me, and maybe you're right, it might have been Norton there made a problem for my model, and there by killed my model f***ing Norton.
5) Questions and Answers : Windows : Serious bug (Message 6754) Posted 8 Dec 2004 by old_user27238 Post: After updating my Norton Antivirus Program, I had to reboot my Windows Application. Before pushing reboot, I used the Exit in the BOINC 4.13 application, to exit BOINC. After reboot, my CPDN model, couldn't start again, and it made me so frustrated that I detached the project and decided to use SETI@home until Einstein@home official opens for public use. So please take notice of this error, because it will make even your most supportive users, very mad and in the end mean a loss of computer power.

Thanks again, you've been very helpfull.

Now I won't waste any WU there will wait a whole year before anyone can run them again - when I change to einstein@home as soon as it gets official / public.
8) Questions and Answers : Windows : Detaching? (Message 6575) Posted 5 Dec 2004 by old_user27238 Post: Hi... Is there a way to detach from CPDN - after finishing a WU and before download of a new WU - so that CPDN is not loosing the WU and then getting a later finish time. In other words can I detach from the project or at least make sure it doesn't get more work to do, when I finish working on my resent WU? Reason for change is that I wan't to do S@H and when einstein@home opens I wan't to do that to...
