really nice running the scrolls with 4.57 but does that mean other then the admin I'm the only one getting those since I'm probably the only one here crazy enough to go past 4.54 since hiroshima (4.55) and nagasaki (4.56). Those blew up in their faces so bad. I wouldn't even use 4.55 after trying it and having it crash every wu i had.

Really nice job with the keystroke sensitive wu's. the only other project i know of that does that is cpdn.

HAPPY NEW NEW!!



the poeme:

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to min'?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae rin about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl't i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

And here 's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine;
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne!

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.


Words adapated from a traditional song
by Robert Burns (1759-96)

That happens to me too. I think it's because it completes too quickly (between 20 and 25 seconds to me) and maybe because of that it is not accepted as valid or something...

I still have a problem with it not granting credit if the graphics are not open.

Another thing... I was messing around with a workunit here and I might have done something bad to it... The percentage complete showing on the boinc client stalled at 42.28% but the percentage done inside the workunit is going on like forever... by the time I'm writing it's going over 130% already.
It just shows the text very far away and the words "|THE END|" while it goes on and on increasing the percentage done...

**EDIT! - I figured out why... boinc switched to climate prediction and started working. I still have that strange bug that I can see several workunits graph windows at the same time... :/

Yes, I had just said that.

And my really really slow workunit ended at about 10 mins of processing.
If you wanna see it here it is...

If you slow the scroll down enough, it starts going backward!

There are plenty of key combinations, and I don't know if I found them all...
If you press shift, the percentage done appears also on the left part of the screen, under the quill...(huge number).
If you press ctrl, as they said, it appears the speed.
If you press ctrl + left arrow or rigth arrow the text rotates to left or right
If you press ctrl + up arrow or down arrow, the speed of the scrolling text increases or decreases.
**And you can even put the speed on negative values and the text will run backwards... the workunit ends after a while.
If you press (and release) the "Alt Gr" key, it locks on the speed value on the left side text, as opposed to if you press the ctrl key that you have to keep pressing it to stay there.

I have now put the text scrolling at a ridiculously slow speed just to see how long it will take until it finishes or until it times out... 3:20 and still counting... lol

Good eye. scroll 4.60 is now being sent out, with a new year's greeting and the following features:
* Built with newest tagged version of BOINC (4.57).
* runs to succesful completion after 2 minutes even if the graphics
thread is never started.
* Display of current GMT time (assuming timezone on host is correct)
* User, application, and workunit information on the screen
* First use of stroke fonts rather than bitmap fonts for screen annotations
* Keyboard input: press ctrl > to speed up the scrolling, ctrl <
to slow down, ctrl S to turn stars on/off.
