All well-remembered from E@H.
Membership is still open--now above 875.
Latest I glean from their webpage is crunching will start in late July...but it's alpha, so we must have patience.
I posted earlier that if you want to wait for a bit when they first start up to avoid being bitten by major bugs, you should detach from the project. With the later BOINC clients this shouldn't be necessary, I think: you should be able to highlight the project and select "no new work." Then, I'm guessing, when the app is ready, the app will be downloaded but no crunching will happen without WUs.
*************
When I requested the BAs permission for this team, I slyly hinted that having a team would enable us to insinuate a few links for his sites onto the various projects' websites. As I read his reply, he slyly hinted that this would be a Very Good Thing.
So I think we should
pepper their boards with news of the BABB team's existence, the Bad Astronomy main page, the BABB forum and the BA Blog.
In this regard,
Archer17 made a fine
post at Cafe Einstein, which is still on the front page there.=D>
Each Cafe also now has a
Team recruiting thread. That one, in the orbit@home Cafe, is particularly busy, dominated by BoincSynergy, and featuring lots of html and cool, hip talk.
I'd be really grateful if someone here could post a good looking blurb to this thread, with live links to the BA's sites.
Wolverine, in a post over there, has a nice background for the mundayweb stats boxes, but you could also use fancy ones from boincstats, or wherever, that use html. Could also be copied to the Cafe Einstein thread of the same name.
It's very flattering, but I would ask, IMHO, that you not use my name: let's concentrate on promoting the team and
giving something back to the BA. TIA, fer shure.

Interested users can help us now by testing our "Beta Apps". Instructions for installing them can be found on this page. The current Beta Apps feature a fix for the ATI graphics driver issue (Windows) and working screensaver and fast AltiVec science code (MacOS). |
Since installing this trashes the running WU, in an abundance of caution I'm waiting til all my WUs have finished to try this. Will let you know in a day or so.
