TA[R@H] is now 35 members strong.


Need some stats? Take a look at Free-DC, BOINC Stats and BOINC Synergy





In this place I'll also try to track the major milestones of the R@H team from now on. I've never done stats before, so please be patient with me and remind me if I missed a milestone! I haven't decided yet on the milestone steps, but I guess every 5000 or 10000 points is a good starting point for the higher ones and the first 500 and 1000 as the lower milestones.

500
1000
5000
10000
20000
30000
...

What do you think about that? I need some input on that one.

I'll also try to track highest climber, top producer, changes in rank within the team and a bit more. I guess I'll need some time to work out a routine for that but within a week or so I should have it all up and running.

thanks for the update BMC and welcome Sid, bjm129 and EvilWobbles

i was missing rosetta too much and switched some (~20%) production back.

i still wanna catch those "amdusers" that eluded us throughout last month.

 

[TAandy]

Welcome :beer:

 

[Insidious]

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

I don't know if it really fits for one of the newcommers to welcome the others, but...

WELCOME to Rosetta: TA_EvilWobbles and bjm129

I think it's awsome that you are going to take on the stats stuff BMC THANK YOU :beer:

(I've no experience to make suggestions with except to say..... Keep up the good work!)

-Sid

One more Thank You to the folks helping me get this set up... (Mike, Jim, et.al )

 

[BlackMountainCow]

I'd say on Saturday you can expect the first official "BMC's R@H stats and welcome thread"

 

[petrusbroder]

Welcome to the team, mates!
PM me if you have questions, Christian. It is a good start for the stats!

Hey everybody. I won't be adding much production at the moment, just a lowly 700mz Athlon. But depending on how this goes I may switch my main desktop (P4 3.0) over from f@h sometime after the end of the year. This comp is running Windows 98, but can BOINC be installed as a service on XP? It would help prevent it form being closed by meddling siblings (yes, even the tray isn't safe).

 

[mrwizer]

Welcome all! Thanks BMC!

 

[EvilWobbles]

Thanks for the welcome. Haven't been around the DC world too much in a while but figured I'd try something different since Seti Classic is winding down...

Welcome EvilWobbles and Vikesrock.

Yes, BOINC can be installed as a service. As long as you use the latest version (5.2.5 or higher). Works very well for me. No screensaver and only a user with admin-rights can change it but else it works like a charm.

Even the now very old v3.20-client had built-in service-install.

In v4.25 and later, during install just select to install as service.


Of course, v5.2.x has very many improvements and bug-fixes over earlier clients, so it's normally an advantage to run the current "recommended" version.

welcome to rosetta! don't worry about the athlon being slow, it'll still crunch away on rosetta just fine. i've even got a couple p3-450s working on rosetta. also it's installed as a service on 4 of 5 of my computers so you should be fine.
