Yikes... We need more Gas for Dimes.

OK, the team is currently holding 4th place, but XtremeSystems is about to kick our butt in less than 7 days. Turn up the steam, we need some help to not fall backwards.

 
I actually had DIMES running on a little P3 machine at home that I've been letting my 5-year-old use for PBS Kids and stuff like that, but the stupid machine has killed three separate hard drives in less than a week so I'm taking it permanently offline. I still have a few other machines running DIMES and could add 20 more if there was a service/hidden install, but for now I'm putting all I can into the project.
 
Sorry, guys and dolls

My Dimes processing has sent "ZERO" results for the past 2 days. I looked at the message tab and it listed TONS of RED TEXT error messages. I shut the little tyke down for now. Will try to revive the little vampire tonight and see...

So no gas for now (sorry) - hmm...I have been passing "wind" quite a bit the last 2 days 😱 ...hmm...
 
I'm tempted to go the VMWare route. The only thing I see "wrong" with it is that you lose getting nodes and edges. :

The mondo box could probably run 15 instances, but the mobo won't be back in until tomorrow or Saturday.
 
What do you guys think of a team e-mail to the project heads to clarify the VMWare thing. We are, afterall, trying to help them out first and foremost. Might want to get their opinion on it.
 
From what they have said in their forums, they dont care if you use Vmware. I tried it, it does help but you need a pretty strong machine, as it is very memory intensive. I was only able to run 4 processes when I did it.

I did just that a while back and it seems as long as you don't have a problem with your isp they don't care.
 
To those reading up about this ,remember this project takes hardly any CPU power so can be run alongside other DC projects without any impact 🙂

You don't mind TA getting its butt kicked then? 😉
 
I got a cruncher down, my work PC decided to join the choir invisible yesterday. Looks like it is either the CPU or MB. Maybe the P/S, as I've had another P/S power the fans, but wouldn't boot up the PC.

I'll know more this weekend, as I have a comparable cruncher at home I can test the CPU and P/S on, and test this MB with a known good CPU.

*sigh*

Tons of stuff I need on that PC too. But most importantly, it was running Dimes and SOB. 🙁

WTH? A Brit not familiar with the Monty Python skit the Dead Parrot? :Q :roll:

A customer enters a pet shop.
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Owner: We're closin' for lunch.
Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...
(owner hits the cage)
Owner: There, he moved!
Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
Owner: I never!!
Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!
Owner: I never, never did anything...
Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?
Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour
ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Mr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the
first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
Owner: No no! 'E's pining!
Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Owner: I got a slug.
(pause)
Mr. Praline: Pray, does it talk?
Owner: Nnnnot really.
Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Owner: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)
Mr. Praline: Well.
(pause)
Owner: Look, if you go to my brother's pet shop in Bolton, he'll replace the parrot for you.
Mr. Praline: Bolton, eh? Very well.

Just installed DIMES on one of my boxes today... I keep seeing all these posts about the project here so hey, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! I've been putting it off too long already, I just hope my ISP doesn't give me a hard time.

Cheers,
 
Thanks to all the people helping out on the DIMES project.

As far as VMWare we had discussed this in an earlier post. If VMWare is installed it can then run one or more separate dimes clients. The client will do the full work. If you over do it to much that is where you can get in hot water with your ISP. Ram is the key to VMWare.

There is a guide that is well written for installing VMWare to work with dimes here.

The DIMES stats are down until Monday.
