TAS-member thread for October: World Community Grid

[GLeeM]

You guys are too funny - "all two 'L'" - that's great, wish I could come up with stuff like that!

Reminds me of the old TAS days

And that's OK Silverthorne, your help is really appreciated. Besides we're not really a team, just some crunchers who hang out and help out and enjoy some laughs

2L = tool

thanks for the stats, Ken.

Well, it's the next-to-the-last weekend before November, so I figure that means it's time for TAS' November Poll!

Edit:
Stats are here!

 

[BlackMountainCow]

Wow, many thx for doing the poll & stats Ken. :thumbsup:

I really feel bad as this would be my job as a TAS admin, but I just never thought of doing them.

Thanks Ken_g6, for all your effort. :thumbsup:

It is good to know, that one member - even if he is a TAS-admin - is dispensible ...

We have a great mini-team, don't we?

Dispensible maybe, but not replaceable

I see Cuboid is in the poll. I would like to vote for it, but some people had trouble getting the client to run.

Are they still having trouble?

It runs fine for me even without an always on connection.

 

[Ken g6]

Neither one of you TAS admins is dispensible, or replaceable. I'm just filling in 'til you can get back, Peter.

But I have noticed that playing TAS admin has its perks. One of the perks of posting the stats is I can decide when to post them.

I plan to post at least once a week, but I decided I liked the stats today, so I posted them a day early.

Don't forget - the poll closes in about a day and a half! There's only seven votes, so I think there's a few of you out there who haven't voted yet. :Q

I don't know how you guys see this, but as of lately, I have massive problems to get work of Leiden for my WinXP machines. Win2k is fine, though. It's a known problem witin the project, and time will "heal" that problem, but I don't know if TAS can do much good with Leiden if we just don't have work!

Opinions please.

Makes me think again ... what if the cache is big enough - such as 5 - 6 days? Does that help? :Q

Sure, the cache size helps, but as I see it right now, you'd have to pu that one almost to the max to ensure you have enough work. And even then, it's not certain. Leiden has some really tiny WU these days, with only a few minutes runtime. The might fill up your cache really quick, but then the daily quota hits you.
