1) Questions and Answers : Preferences : different preferences for different projects? (Message 8379) Posted 1 Feb 2005 by Lessa Post: It didn't work! My BOINC client knew it was always "home" no matter what I told the project. So if running CP in the background, I'll run all of them when idle and give it the shortest possible delay and when one of the other projects is running I'll change my client to "run always" instead of "run based on preferences" until CP comes back on. Thanks for the info.
2) Questions and Answers : Preferences : different preferences for different projects? (Message 8308) Posted 1 Feb 2005 by Lessa Post: Actually, after I posted this question I found a page on the BOINC site (http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/multiple_projects.php) that would seem to indicate that I can do this with the home/school/work designation. It say, "...it's possible that a given host has location 'work' on project A, and location 'school' on project B. ... The choice of general preferences (if you've defined separate preferences) is determined by the host's location on the project from which the general preferences were propagated, i.e. from the project where you last edited them. So if you edit your general preferences on project A, a host's location on project A is 'work', and you've defined separate general preferences for 'work', the host will use those...." I'll give this a try and post again when I've found out if it works.
3) Questions and Answers : Preferences : different preferences for different projects? (Message 8196) Posted 30 Jan 2005 by Lessa Post: Is there any way to set preferences so CPN runs only when my computer is idle but the other projects run all the time? Will using a different e-mail address for CPN make it a different account, or will it eventually figure out it's the same BOINC client on the same single-processer computer?
4) Questions and Answers : Windows : How do I download 1st work unit? (Message 7220) Posted 9 Jan 2005 by Lessa Post: My first dumb question: I just switched SETI to BOINC a few days ago, then signed up for ClimatePrediction today. I got the project attached all right, but can't figure out how to download 1st work unit?????? (I wish BOINC were a bit more user-friendly!) I'd appreciate any help.
