Rintaran from Timmins, Ontario reporting in.

I'm currently running in Seti, Rosetta, Einstein, and am sitting as 3rd in the team for QMC. Just started climateprediction, but it looks like it'll take a long time to get any credit for that..

Welcome, Rintaran!!
Make yer self at home and remember that the first drink at Moosejaw's & Medicine Hat's is FREE!

Might as well say something now that i finaly got around to registering..

So... erhm..

Been around awhile, still have those old Seti@Home Certificate of Appreciation & Workunits milestones somewhere, Eh!

Grizz · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 2:58 pm

Welcome WereChild

I started with the original SETI@Home as well on Jan 19,2001 and ended up with 8762 original WUs, nice to see some of us are still around.

WereChild · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 3:25 pm

Thanks Grizz,

Was looking for those since i posted earlier.. found them too!

Certificate of Appreciation is dated as of 2000-06-17, but was running for some time before i got that, late 1999 or early 2000 perhaps. As for the number of WU, i have no clue, bad memory and a whole lot of email (AOL, Earthlink, 3COM, etc) changes kinda screwed the count somewhat, ah well.

Old Guard indeed, eh!

Pawly · **Posted:** Sun Jul 29, 2007 3:35 pm

Hello Aline!
All are welcome! Stay and Play!Do you know about BOINC or is this new to you?

Hope you are well,
Paul

Oi Aline!

Todo são bem-vindo! Permaneça e jogue! Sabe sobre BOINC ou isto é novo a você?

Espere estão bem, Paul

Aline · **Posted:** Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:21 pm

Woohoo thanks! Obrigada

But no, I have no idea what BOINC is. I should have done my homework.

Pawly · **Posted:** Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:27 pm

No problem Aline! Here is a link to get you started.

:arrow:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

BOINC is a way of helping scientists do research by allowing
your computer to do some of the calculations. You install a small program
on your computer and then it connects to the science project,
downloads a small piece of work, calculates it and sends it back.

Multiply this by 1/2 million computers and the work is completed very quickly.
This is a very simplistic explanation but accurate.

Let us know if you have any questions!! :-D

Thegummer · **Posted:** Fri Aug 03, 2007 11:43 pm

HEY ALINE
THATS A CANADIAN FOR YOU. IF YOU ASK A CANADIAN FOR HELP YOU'LL EITHER HAVE A LIFELONG FRIEND OR WISH YOU KNEW HIM BETTER.

WELCOME. I HOPE YOU GET INTO TRYING BOINC AND WANDER AROUND IN HERE. LOTS OF GOOD THINGS HAPPENING HERE.

LATER
DR.Z

Thegummer · **Posted:** Sat Aug 04, 2007 3:30 pm

Thanks for the welcome Pawly. and yes, I am from Team Sambuca.

I've been crunching wu's since April 2000, started with the original SETI.

SETI@home classic workunits 1,285
SETI@home classic CPU time 24,297 hours

and now crunch all I can.

Aline · **Posted:** Tue Aug 07, 2007 12:35 am

hehe thanks a lot!
I know, Canadians seem out of this world sometimes. Awww how I miss it.
Just a question: does this boing thing get quicked out from my pc with Spybot?
Everyone have a nice weekend.

Pawly · **Posted:** Tue Aug 07, 2007 4:02 am

Hi Aline!

Spybot should be no trouble and if you have a Firewall (and YOU SHOULD for surfing the Net anyway!) you will have to grant BOINC and the projects it works on access to the internet.

Hope this helps!
Paul

Aline · **Posted:** Wed Aug 08, 2007 2:39 am

It's working fine, thanks.
I feel helpful now.

Who's responsable for BOINC?
Great Canada Forum by the way.
