Hello all,

[Edit 19 Oct 2005]:

The name the Bad Astronomy/Universe Today BOINC distributed computing teams has now officially changed to BAUT.

And there is a new thread to discuss the team and its projects, here. Please post there from now on.

Thanks to team founder azazul for making it happen.

Thank you for sir, joined and ready to deliver.

Done for orbiter. Now I needs me some orbits. Hmm, probably work better if I attached a project. The poor thing was screaming for something to do.

Hi, I just joined the BABB orbits team, the number of team members has not increased (currently at 5) is there a delay before it increases?

<Edit to add> It seems to be ok now (about 1 hour later) now showing 8 members

I'm there too. One of my two boxes (unfortunately the one that gets the most Einstein work done) has had to have the hours it works cut back rather, though - I'm running some new 'proper' programs that need all the resources they can get.

How about a gateway page, hosted by Mickal, where the visitor is given a choice of entering the BABB forum or the BABB Boinc home page. The page could include a short description of each site. I think the BABB Boinc home page, or even the gateway page, should also include a link to the Scotson's Boinc forum.

orbit@home:

Welcome all! We are 9 at the moment:

Ken Vogt
Lance and Cyndi
Wolverine
jt-3d
zebo-the-fat
Minbari`
gopher65
Klausnh
mid

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.=D>

**************
Einstein@Home
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.

Yes Klaus, excellent! Thanks to TANSTAAFL for helping out (unbeknownst as it was.)

Cafe post will take longer, understood; no real rush, since people can change teams as often as they wish before the project starts.

*************
Sent a bulk email to everyone, since it was easiest. I'm guessing previous members already knew about it? ops:

And hopefully mundayweb will support orbit@home as soon as we start; they do have other alpha projects.

O@h is now at 918, amazingly, still possible to join!

Our list is now:

Ken Vogt
Jyril
Lance and Cyndi
Wolverine
jt-3d
sohvan
zebo-the-fat
azazul
Minbari`
Mickal555
gopher65
Klausnh
mid
mwill110
PeterFab
DigitalKnight
Daniel H.
slinted


I just noticed Tom Mosher is not on the list.

Verizon must be blocking the confirmation email again.

Tom, if you are within the sound of my words, see if you can unblock at your end.

I will post right away to the o@h board pointing to the fix that E@H did.

here

I've emailed and PMed him as well.

--------------------
Update: Apparently from the reply to my post, the problem is with Verizon this time. Or possibly Tom has not activated, being busy and all.

So I overreacted again. But I tried; hope it works out.
--------------------
Update Part II: All is well, Tom is registered as Thomas Mosher, not tmosher, and has just joined the team. =D> A small comedy of errors; all mine. ops:

****************
Thomas Mosher was #978, so they are very close.


Incidentally, everyone's user name (for each project) is totally editable under Your Account if you should wish to make it/them the same as your board name. Just as you wish of course.

My apologies.

Ah, I thought I should left you know that team BABB has gone from the Einstein Page!!!!

All the other teams I tested before and after BABB are coming up, but click to view team babb and there is an error in teamid being none existant.

Hope it will resolve soon.

what is the page that the BABB team should be located? :-?
