21) Message boards : Number crunching : Vote for the MilkyWay favicon! (Message 9259) Posted 27 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: I think this is getting overlooked or ignored. Indeed, I guess so too. :-( Does anyone know if and how it is possible to customize your browser yourself this way?
22) Message boards : Application Code Discussion : Recompiled Linux 32/64 apps (Message 9212) Posted 26 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: AMD SSE3_64 Hi speedimic. Just finished the first two results with the 64-bit version. Here's one example. Unfortunately it takes about 24 minutes, which is about 2 1/2 times longer than the Windows one. Gives a good result anyway, but it's not worth the 64-bit and so gives less credits.

All tested against the test wus and giving exactly the same result. Can you make them AMD compatibel? I just tried it out and it didn't run of course. :-\
26) Message boards : Number crunching : New faster application? (Message 8568) Posted 18 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: zslip is updated. Hi Ice. Only a little hint: You should mention on the site that these are only Windows apps. Someone could mistaken them for Linux ones. ;-) The most who come there will know it from here, but just to make it sure. ;-)

28) Message boards : Number crunching : Vote for the MilkyWay favicon! (Message 8321) Posted 14 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: Should we name the winner?

29) Message boards : Number crunching : Vote for the MilkyWay favicon! (Message 8153) Posted 3 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: What are they for ... A favicon is used in your browser. It appears in the field beside you are seeing the adress URL (depends a bit on what browser you are using). It is also stored if you add an URL as bookmark to your browser, then you will see it besides the bookmark. And it's used beside the open tabs in the browser also.
30) Message boards : Number crunching : Vote for the MilkyWay favicon! (Message 8151) Posted 3 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: Well, I guess it's kinda time for a favicon vote.

31) Message boards : Number crunching : Why don't we have a Milkyway favicon here? (Message 8150) Posted 3 Jan 2009 by DoctorNow Post: What are the project admins saying ? =) Guess it's kinda hard for them to choose between all of the suggested icons. ;-) Since we have enough now, we should decide with a voting contest, I'll open up a new thread. No more suggestions now please. ;-)
32) Message boards : Cafe MilkyWay : Holidays and Special Occasions (Message 8097) Posted 31 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: Happy New Year 2009 to all MilkyWayers over the world!

34) Message boards : Number crunching : Why don't we have a Milkyway favicon here? (Message 8031) Posted 28 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: Now they are visible. :-) I instantly decide for #1. #2 looks too much like the symbol used at Ramseys. ;-)
35) Message boards : Number crunching : Why don't we have a Milkyway favicon here? (Message 8029) Posted 28 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: Hm, I can't see the graphics for it... Is it only me? Or is there a problem with the links? Nevertheless a good idea, I also missed an appropiate favicon. Btw: Nice sig, Cori. :-D
36) Message boards : Cafe MilkyWay : Merry Christmas !!!!!!! (Message 7985) Posted 24 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: This one comes from Germany: I wish all MilkyWay crunchers a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
37) Message boards : Number crunching : Stop Sending me Work ... !!! (Message 7762) Posted 15 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: v6.4.5 ... About as new as they get ... ;) Okay... Seems you can put another bug of it to this thread here. ;-) (I see you already posted another thing there) Maybe a downgrade helps then. As far as I can say, I'm still using 6.3.21 and never had any problems with it, no matter if it's GPU- or MilkyWay- or other work...
38) Message boards : Number crunching : Stop Sending me Work ... !!! (Message 7756) Posted 15 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: I have this Project set to "Suspended by user & Won't get new Tasks" yet every time I turn around I have Wu's trying to Download to various Box's of mine & their messing up my Internet Connections for the other Projects I'm running. I don't want them, I don't need them & I'm not going to run them at this time so "STOP SENDING ME ANY MORE FREAKING WORK" ... ;) What BOINC client version are you using? I remember one of the previous versions had a bug in this and leaded to this behaviour, but I forgot which version. Try to update to another newer one then.
39) Message boards : Number crunching : post milkyway_windows_intelx86 problems here (Message 7755) Posted 15 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: I allowed a host attached to MW a couple of weeks ago to crunch some MWs. However BOINC couldn't download the executable astronomy_1.22_V3_win32.exe... ... To help people in the same circumstances as me but not so advanced in using BOINC I'd like to suggest putting the right .exe back. That is no glitch. The V3_win32.exe was the one from Milksop and was never available on the MilkyWay server, you downloaded that from another source. ;-) In advance, whoever combined this app with an app_info.xml a project reset normally doesn't work, I discovered. You have to de- and reattach to the project to get rid of this app.
40) Message boards : Number crunching : credit comparison to other projects (Message 7525) Posted 7 Dec 2008 by DoctorNow Post: Well, of course the project stats at BOINCstats look horrible, but I think this is more due to the reason, that there are no WUs for Milksops app anymore which could give overwhelming credit. But if you look at the user stats you see a slight increase of active users in the last two days. It's not representative in this short time of course, but I don't think much users have given up on this project. When, then only the "credit whores" who enjoyed their time. ;)
