Posted 29 Dec 2011 by  Dave Kentley
Post: if you are babysitting the project and checking it every 5 min it will drive you crazy just let it run and forget it check on it maybe once or twice a week.mine is running 24/7 i check it once a week then go back to my regular work,taking a year off is NOT going to change anything it will still be the same. |

Aborting a Task from a Detached Computer?
(Message 1007874)
Posted 24 Jun 2010 by Dave Kentley
Post: why don't you use a 8gig flash drive,i've been using one for three years now and no more detached computers or wu's,before when seti was on my c drive if i had a crash or had to do a restore boy did seti get screwed up just about all my wu's got detached.i'm using a 32 gig flash drive but you could get away with an 8 gig for about $20.it's worth every cent. |

Post: i agree with you 100% it does no good to get upset when things don't go right,i've been with SETI since 07 i leave my computer running 24/7 with SETI running in the backround and go about other things checking in to see how things are going or not going once or twice a day. |

Stats n Stone
(Message 923236)
Posted 2 Aug 2009 by Dave Kentley
Post: the Stats n Stone site has gone off the air do to lack of operating funds i was communicating with Gary and he told me it costs approx.$225 a month to operate the site i think it's a great site if we use it we should help him with the costs,a couple of dollars a month is not going to break us, come on lets help him and get the site back up and running. |

Panic Mode On (11) Server problems
(Message 846414)
Posted 29 Dec 2008 by Dave Kentley
Post: by past histoty there's always a major problem on the weekend if they cared about this project they would have someone ON_CALL to take care of it. if they do not care then leave it the way it is and more people will be dropping out.but the main point is COMMUNICATIONS,if your having a problem let us know it does not take much a short note. |

Boinc 6.2.14
(Message 796813)
Posted 12 Aug 2008 by Dave Kentley
Post: Has there been any explanation anywhere (here or on the Beta forum) as to why 6.2.14 has been made so darn complex ???I can try to answer this one, and it probably answers all the others too, with one word. Vista. (and I'm not a Boinc Developer, INaBD). As you don't seem to have any of those on your computers page, and neither do I for my own reasons, I can understand your frustration with the transition, and the transition is causing developers plenty of hassles, and you're spotting some of the new 'best practices' gradually being put into place. I'm probably sticking with 5.10.45 for now as it seems to work fine for me, though eventually I'll have to put Vista on I hope Boinc and other programs I use will have updated to the point where I stop having to confirm everything I told it to do, costing my time and lost productivity in having to find workarounds. aahhh growing pains, gotta love 'em. can you run optimized on 6.2.14 if so how. |

What's the ETA on SETI coming back to life ??????
(Message 796669)
Posted 12 Aug 2008 by Dave Kentley
Post: I'm actually sort of surprised that there, seemingly, isn't anyone in an on-call status. Nothing will get someone ready for the "real" world like some on-call for a week, sucking the time out of one's life. : ) i agree with you somebody should be on call to maintain the servers and keep the down time to a minimum. |

Posted 10 Aug 2008 by Dave Kentley
Post: Read back thru today's posts -- you will see plenty of confirmation and discussion of the problem. i have not been able to upload since late friday night i am so backedup that i shut everything down until they fix the problem.no wonder people are leaving seti there down more than there up,if this does not improve i'll be leaving to. |
