June 17, 2005 Two days and more than 400 users. Orbit@home is becoming now a real community, with people interested in Distributed Computing, Astronomy and Asterodis. Now that all the server problems seem to be fixed, we will enhance the website in gereral, adding a description of this project and also introducing the users to the Science related to Minor Planets in the Solar System. Everybody is invited to contribute, sending or posting to the forum possible orbit@home logos, graphics, related websites and everything can help building the orbit@home image and identity. June 16, 2005 After less than one day, more than 100 user accounts created! Also still having problems with slashes in urls, we are working on that. As a reminder, we don't have any BOINC application yet, and the scheduler is not running, so the BOINC client will bounce off the orbit@home website without much work to do for now. Update: now the scheduler is running, the BOINC client should be able to connect, ask for work, and then disconnect because there is no work available. The client can also complain for "platform 'x-y-z' not found": this is because there is not an application available yet. June 15, 2005 orbit@home website (re)-started! After a first test website yesterday, we decided to go directly with the BOINC website. This allows a uniform users management, and makes many other tasks a lot easier. User accounts can be created now, and we will disable it as soon as we will reach a user base of at least one thousand users, sufficient for the alpha testing phase. At this moment, the application is not yet ready for alpha testing. We will announce here the development news and the beginning of the testing phase.

Looks like another project to share among the BOINC members ... hopefully they will get this one up and operating soon, I just HATE not knowing when things are about to hit me in the head ... On a bright sunny day if it suddenly gets really dark.. Look up.. it will be one of several things.. ET has come and didn't tell SETI.. The Sun has turned into a black hole and your really close tothe event horizon A really big cloud has blocked out the Sun.. Run cause it could be an evil ET (they always arrive in big clouds) You are about to get hit in the head. Don't worry about ducking... you have suddenly gone blind..... .o0(I heartell them pills will do that.I'll have to remember to ask Misfit if he's blind yet) I'd rather speak my mind because it hurts too much to bite my tongue.

1036 defined I saw post where there were 1036 users, someone named "malfunshun" (spelling) was supposed to be the last. I however, did not go through the trouble to do a search to find and be able to confirm the exact name or number of the last person. So, to ensure the full disclosure and to maintain my accuracy I had to say about 1036 members since I'm unsure of the exact number. The important part is that Account Creation was in fact disabled. Doe this help? tony Sheeesh, you peeps need to find something better to do/talk about. Have we discussed snot picking yet? ID: 126787 · |
