Hey Hey its Solstice Day, light the bonfires one and all String colored lights, burn candles bright but DON'T give my sillicon a day off!
I think it's been 24 hrs since I've seen a work unit come through any of the three machines here at Razler Central and Computer Tangle!
We've been steady SETI workers since 1999, posing about every 18 months for the necessary upgrade. How can I beg for MORE POWER to find any intelligent life outside of this sphere if you guys won't give me puzzle pieces to dissect!

"Here comes a candle to light you to bed" - Big Brother came a little late, and not from the government but from DoubleClick and other InfoThieves and Brokers: Fight 'em, Ban 'em Make 'em shred the file with your "impersonal" name and address on it!

I looked at your computer list and it looks like you now have a work units to work on.

You may want to increase your cache a little if you are having trouble keeping enough work or so you don't need to watch so close.

Go to "YOUR ACCOUNTS" at the top of the page. Click on the blue "View or edit general preferences". At the bottom of the page click on the "Edit preferences". That will allow you to increase the spot that says "Connect to network about every". That will increase the amount of work that you will have on your machine ready to run. Maybe try one day or something small at first. You want it small enough that you get the work returned on time but big enough to get through an outage.

To make the change show up immediately, go to the "Projects" tab in the BOINC manager and click to highlight the SETI project. Then push the "Update" button. You can also just wait until the next time it connects on its own.

Happy Solstice Day. I'm living in Fremont, California and Solstice day goes by pretty much unnoticed.

I hate forum-type systems - one bump and your leter repeats, not only that but I hate forum-type systems - one bump and your leter repeats, not only that but...

Anyway - OK, problem is Main Machine has about 12 hrs a day to run SETI. "Entertainment" machine, a work in progress, currently has 100% of its time to run SETI, barring test times, then will cut out 1-7 hrs/day to handle heavy-bandwidth I/O. And the laptop (why leave it standing) with a 40 meg drive has led me to lower the cache to make sure I don't have too much in store when I grab and run.

Do I have to divide myself into a "team" to get different settings?

Also - on Main Machine today (3.2G effectively P4) and the laptop last night that both *SHOWED no work units, but each reported, as I looked, "stopped processing - user active" OKKKK, if there are no work units, *what* exactly is BOINC processing?

just a wee bit paranoid - somehow I'd hate to find out the NSA's been grabbing our time to crack cellphone calls<g - really>
