Please move distributed computing discussions to comp.distributed

Had a quick peek in that newsgroup. Not much going on. Spam mostly.

Lots of Kirk postings.

Is distributed computing so well developed or is it discussed elsewhere?

Strange.

Cheers,
Martin

Hopefully there's been a lot of positive BOINC evolution recently!

Hopefully. I can't upload, can't download and have lost about the last 10
days worth if credit. (Which just happened to be 10 days when I thought
"Damn the electricity bill!" and had BOINC running on everything I have,
24/7). I'm beginning to seriously wonder about farming. Might have to shut
down a few PCs and go back to just using 'spare cycles' on my main machine,
when it's switched on.

I do not wish to intrude or something, but you got me cuirious as to the
hight of your bill. How much is it?

Huh?
It seems to me that BOINC belongs here for the time being (for those who
choose to post here, of course).
Many Seti participants still running "stand alone" Seti (includes me) read
BOINC posts here.

BUT, nice try at a bit of self-promotion, Kirk!

As a friendly suggestion, please move discussions about distributed
computing
projects and clients (and the BOINC aspects of BOINC-based SETI@home) to
the
comp.distributed newsgroup. You'll make the comp.distributed people happy
by
giving their newsgroup more (and appropriate) traffic, and you'll make the
SETI purists here happy by not mentioning the word "BOINC" :-) Thanks!

It's not really that the bill is high by most people's standards, (about
$NZ45/week, with no heating) it's more that I'm an invalid living on an
invalid's benefit which just barely covers living expenses. Put it this way:
If you come to visit I can offer you instant coffee but I'm afraid I don't
have biscuits or cake. I do have about seven functional PC's 900Mhz and
faster though that I've mainly put together from parts I got cheap or was
given.

That sounds very healthy and worthwhile.

I also have no biscuits nor cake nor sugar... Just never got the taste
for them again after my student days many moons ago.

Hopefully the database bashing going on at s@h means that credit will be
duely awarded for the pent-up WU returns everyone is holding at the moment.

All good science, and an 'education' also.
