Bummer, long weekend ahead ...

Long weekend?
2) Message boards : BOINC client : allow multiple clients (Message 69401)

Last time I tried, BOINC Manager (BM) was unable to connect to the second running client. IIRC it was the same authentication problems - couldn't get it to recognise the second 'localhost' correctly, despite having pwd etc. set correctly.
I probably reported the problem at the time.

I ended up using BoincTasks instead...

Gosh.

Congratulations. I'm running a horrible migraine so you'll excuse me if I just give you a hug and a kiss (if any reader wonders, then you've not been around long enough to know who I am and who I started out as) and spare us lots of words.

I must confess I did try to read the words on your sig over at seti and did as well find out that you couldn't quite make out the text no matter how big you made it.
But since I was waiting for you to post what it was all about, I decided to wait some more ;)

So all the best and many more years and all that.

Prost (with non-alcoholic bubbly)

You'll know in 10 days. Or you can ask Jason G, if he remembers. ;-)

I can certainly ask.

By the way, 10 days left.

Hmm. April has 30 days. Lent is already over.

Care to enlighten us of what there are 10 days left? Or till what event?

Since for the seti tasks upload being stick, I not get other project (denis) task come to in my boinc manger. I try for to add other project, but no task come. I must wait for upload to seti first? Thank you.

Answering genuine questions isn't trouble.

No, you don't need to wait for SETI to finish, before you can attach to a different project - which one did you try? maybe it was down, too.

Who has been chucking those eggshells from previous posts all over the floor? I keep treading on them ....

Careful please - somebody left the heating too high and some of the eggs hatched! I've been chasing assorted poultry all morning. Looks like not all the eggs were chicken. I've seen at least two ducklings, one gosling and one looks suspiciously like an ostrich. Also, there's something hiding under the settee which doesn't seem to be a bird at all!

And help yourselves to the pancakes please. Couldn't let the remaining eggs go to waste.

People seem unable to read, write and speak their mothertongue these days (ANY mothertongue).

Wot? Yu dont now the normal explenation yet? "As long as yu now wot we meen, theirs no neet for me to try to do it corectly. Its not as of were in sgool, aldo theyr we aslo dont care. And if yu complian, well trow it on dyslexia, or cal you a grammer nazi. Yu twat. Y dont haf to reet wot we right, so why dont yu leaf us alone?"

:)

LOL

that's ok, that's only doing away with spelling and grammer, writing as you speak. But from a help desk point of view, when they don't appear to comprehend what you say or are unable of making themselves clear after asking them again several times, then I quietly despair.
And of course, most of what you say/write seems to go in one ear and straight out the other, having failed to make contact with any neurons on the way through...
Not quite sure what happens to the stuff coming in through the eyes. I suspect it goes out the mouth, having suffered a similar fate.

People seem unable to read, write and speak their mothertongue these days (ANY mothertongue). And don't get me going on people doing translations, half the time you need to know their original language to figure out that they mean.
Newspeak anybody?

We went down early, maybe somebody in the lab is eager to implement Nvidea V8?

Certainly not. That would be like Godot turning up.

It's called NVidia - and that along with the other GPU apps and the android apps for v8 should be out soon. Wouldn't bet on 'today' though.
