Hi All,
I'm now in the process of doing the transition. I hope it all ends up nice
and transparent like Seti Classic. I was using SetiQueue. It basically ran
itself with hardly any intervention from me.
So far got one up and running. Got to get another 9 machines sorted out.
Being new to the BOINC project, I wonder if one can set up a server and then
feed the other machines from it? This is in case the server at Berkeley
throws a pinkie!
That's what I liked about SetiQueue. If the server at Berkeley threw a fit
you could still crunch units, even if it was down (like the Classic is now)
I was still cruncing work units. That's why I heaps of them waiting to get
uploaded.
Cheers,
Lee.

Same here. I find it annoying that no information is given as to what's
happening over at Berkeley with the server for Seti Classic. Being
neglected
doesn't exactly make me more inclined to take the step over to Boinc.
Even if
they are few people in the staff, posting some official information as
to what's
going on couldn't be that much of a disturbance to their routines? Or
perhaps
the routine is to keep us unaware, which I have seen tendencies to in
the past.
We contribute to their science, but what do we get in return? Except for
the
warm fuzzy feeling of perhaps doing something good - not much. I'm
getting
pi..ed off by such attitudes. Just think of the electricity cost for all
of us
crunchers that they don't have to pay. For me alone it's about $1500 on
a yearly
basis from my own wallet. Non-deductable of course. At least one could
expect
some respect from Berkely for that sum.

Matt Lebofsky reset the server, it had crashed. The question was asked
and answered on the Boinc boards, remmeber the place we are going to
be going to. One of the things the Berkeley people are trying is to
direct everyone over there to ask questions and look for the answers.
1/ Why should I look at Boinc boards fpr Classic questions?
2/ The Boinc boards are the boards some will be going to. And for the rest
of us,
negative or, as me, undecided the treatment doesn't exactly make me more
inclined to
do the transition.
