3) Message boards : Bug reports : Can't seem to get any work (Message 2398) Posted 25 Dec 2012 by Campion Post: @Raubhautz* I think I'm having the same issue as you are, and I think I know the reason too. Server is currently stating that there are about 3000 plus wu to be sent. However, all of these units are classified as "high priority results"7 Footnote number 7 states : "number of workunits marked for processing on hosts with average turnaround time lower than 3 days." I know that my recent turnaround average was just over a week, thus I say the system is doing its job and not allowing me to have these units. :( I looked at your machines. The ones with credit all appear to have turnaround times greater than 3 days. However, for your machines without any credit and thus a 0 day turnaround time I can't explain why they would not be allowed units. Unless the system is programed to only give the high priority units to machines with a proven track record ie credits. I've tried both reseting the project and re-attaching to the project. Still not getting any units. I've shut down every other project that I run so that the client thinks it should only be running Enigma and even that won't convince the system to get me units. So, I think we are out of luck unless someone can tell us how to reset our turnaround times so that they are below the cut off point of 3 days. I'd really love to get crunching Enigma again as Enigma will be the first project I get a million credits in and I am sooooo close right now. Hope this answers your question. Sorry that I could not provide a solution. Campion
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Results ready to send = 0 (Message 590) Posted 30 Sep 2008 by Campion Post: Wondering if there is a problem somewhere that needs to be addressed. From the server status page: 30 Sep 2008 15:51:40 UTC, updated every 5 minutes. Results ready to send 0 - currently workunit generator is set to keep number of results ready between 4~5k Can get maybe 1-2 new units every 3 minutes or so.

6) Message boards : Cafe : Bletchley Park (Message 524) Posted 15 Aug 2008 by Campion Post: Historic WWII site in urgent need of support… Computeractive is backing Bletchley Park’s goal to raise the money it needs to ensure its survival and become a national museum. The heritage site is home to the UK’s code-breaking efforts that helped shorten the Second World War, saving countless lives. It is also the birthplace of the modern computer. Despite its past, Bletchley Park's future is uncertain. It receives no Government funding and relies on visitor income and donations, and now important historic buildings are in serious disrepair. The war exhibits and National Museum of Computing, which houses the rebuilt Colossus computer that broke high-level German communications during WWII, are run on a shoe-string budget. For Bletchely Park, the scene of many of Britian’s most important victories, the future looks bleak if serious funding is not raised; the worst scenario is it could close within the next three years or buildings get beyond repair. Simon Greenish, director of Bletchley Park, said some of the work that needs to be carried out is urgent. “We need to solve some serious problems. Our income is £1m a year; our current upkeep costs are also running at £1m a year but this doesn’t cover all the work that needs to be done," he said. "For example, huts 3 and 6, where the teams using the Enigma machine for codebreaking and analysis took place need urgent repairs. We also need to repair and upgrade basic infrastructure such as communications, power and drains." However, there is some good news, Mr Greenish said he was in talks with the National Lottery in the hope of securing a grant. Some urgent repairs have also been carried out. This includes work on the mansion roof, restoring Hut 8, the former workplace of Alan Turing and Blocks A, B (phase one and two) and E. A petition to secure the future of the Blethley Park has been set up at the No 10 website with nearly 11,000 signatures already. Donations can be made online at its website. In addition, the National Museum of Computing opened last year. It is not yet fully open but houses not only the Collosus but also computers right up to the modern day. Displays include analogue computers, calculator collections, hands-on machines and an Air Traffic Control Display. Bletchley Park also boasts unique mathematics learning resources for students and educators. It is hoped that eventually Bletchley can become part of either the Science Museum or Imperial War Museum. But before this can happen, Mr Greenish said Bletchley needs to be put on a solid financial footing.

7) Message boards : Number crunching : logo (Message 341) Posted 3 Dec 2007 by Campion Post: Well, if it doesn't fit, you can always shrink it. It should fit then. :-) shrink or not, it looks terrible :( :( OK take your word for it. Thanks for trying.
8) Message boards : Number crunching : logo (Message 317) Posted 30 Nov 2007 by Campion Post: Like the logo with the picture of the wheels / disks in it. However, I also like the idea of using the original Enigma logo oval. Could you make one with the picture on left and in the blue box on the right put the original Engima logo oval ? Just my thoughts...
9) Message boards : Bug reports : Scheduler problems (Message 99) Posted 14 Nov 2007 by Campion Post: Today was the first time that I had this problem. Thanks to Zombie I was able to restart and submit my finished work. Hopefully there is another solution if this problem keeps occuring. While Zombie's solution works, the trouble is if you are crunching other projects and they are alpha stage (no check points) you loose some of your work on them during a restart.
