dave cyklIs the #BOINC #DistributedComputing project sadly gradually becoming obsolete or dying? #WCGrid nowadays seems to spend almost as much time down as up under its not-so-new caretakers, I very very rarely get any work from #ClimatePrediction, #RosettaAtHome also seems to have fairly frequent server errors, and most of the rest seem to be literal number-crunching that I don't want to expend electricity on. Have #GPU nodes mostly taken over for this sort of scientific research now?
Ian Beeby BLI've just removed all of my #worldcommunitygrid instances. I have been running #wcg on a number of machines for many years now but, since its migration from IBM, it has become increasingly fragmented and, not to put a finer point on it, thoroughly unreliable. I'm not prepared to continue to support an organisation that takes over 2 weeks to carry out a migration that was planned (if it was planned at all) to take an afternoon. Sad.
Dávid BárdosThis is my 13th #blaugust post. No wonder I'm behind schedule if I write a post for three days... 😀 This one about what my username means to me.

What if you could support causes you care about while reading this post? Your device’s unused computing power can help scientists tackle some of the world’s biggest problems: from finding better #HIV and #cancer treatments to more efficient sources of renewable energy? I just joined World Community Grid to help – join me!
JesseFor any #BOINC users out there, I'm trying to reinstall it on my desktop. I think my antivirus messed it up. I'm neither able to uninstall or install it properly, getting the same error in both cases. So clearly, I'm missing something somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Hmm, I see that the #WorldCommunityGrid website is finally actually reachable again, but completely borked. Still nothing doing on its #BOINC services, either. I guess their very prolonged maintenance outage is overrunning? They sadly really do seem to have #relentless bad luck ever since IBM transferred the project… A real shame as many of its distributed computing projects do practical useful research. #WCGrid #WCG #SNAFU 😢

I encounter quite a few reckless drivers on the road, of which more than half are red traffic light jumpers. Some of these end up being close encounters with other drivers. I used to nearly blow a gasket when I saw these things happening. Then I bou ...continues
