and i went off and reset it... i couldn't find the folder with the WUs
in it, but i don't think that i made a backup before resetting
either. well, now i know better. since 200 went over, that could have
been another 300-1000 credit....*sigh*
thanks!

the ones that i sent in after the deadline passed did
not get any credit. since i still had about 200 at 15minutes each, i reset
on that system. i even tested that because i didn't want to lose all that
data, but also didn't want to crunch away for another day for no
reason...
o well
it was a nice gift!

No, that is correct. We are running with the quorum set to 1,
so the first one back sets the canonical result and canonical credit. Any
other valid WU that returns home after that gets the canonical credit
too.
With the quorum set to 2 then credit is pending until two WU's
agree and set the canonical credit. Any folowing valid WU gets the
canonical credit already determined by the first two.

So far, I've been getting whatever the
other person was awarded. This may be a bug, but that's the way it's
working right now.

I was able to get 100 wu manually, connecting to the server every 15
seconds , but i dont got work every time just once in a minute ; the bad
thing is that in the next day i lost 71 wu because a crash
:((((((
Well ,i can report that most of the wu's had a name
starting with "wu......" but i also got some that got a name starting with
"compass...". Why ?
I want more work :) , not only from sextant but
also from all other applications . There is another thing , that non
windows systems aren't getting any work (or maybe to little) its important
to call people that use linux , mac or even solaris (i know that
pirate@home don't have any solaris application).
And finishing i
still have some peding credits from Xmas when are they cleaned/deleted
?

That shouldn't be the case, but this will be a good test. If the
WU was issued before a canonical result is found then when it returns it
should get the canonical credit, if that has been determined in the
interval. We'll see how it goes. Always a test on the Pirates
ship...

Yeah, my old PIII/400 was the one
that got most of the WUs I received (Over 150), all of my P4s combined got
a total of about 20.
And i've noticed that the scheduler is
re-issuing them 'cause I missed the deadline. So when I finally do return
the WU, I get whatever the other matie claimed, if they got back
first.

A message on the Seti message boards said that Pirates was giving out
work and so the users came here and got on board. Thats what caused the
increased interest.

Not
really an error, but not the expected behaviour. We usually use a script
which lets out a little work at a time, so that when anybody connects they
get a few WU's but not a lot. This was a test of the make_work program
from BOINC, which is supposed to keep the outgoing queue full. It did. It
is supposed to have a "cushion" and only add work when below that cushion,
but for short Pirates WU's this didn't seem to work very well.

and down simultaneously...)
It certainly became such a test, though
not our first.

No, the previous method should
have also taken care of that.

you like. :-)

I received 301 wu's on the 30th. Ironically, out of my 3 hosts, the 2
that have Celeron processors received these wu's. I do that you can still
receive credit even if you are past the deadline, but I don't know how
long after.
I've plundered the wu bounty, and it is
good! _________________________________________________

- Some kind of
an error that occured with the workunits creator?
- A test to see
how the servers reacted with higher stress loads? (more users connecting,
more workunits and results going up and down simultaneously...)
-
An attempt to solve the problem of the many zero credited folks not
appearing in the stats by spreading out plenty of workunits for
everyone?

In the Applications section we can see that almost all apps were
updated recently, but the there's only one listed for mac os x, the hello
BOINC world, and it was last november. Funny that with all the updates
there were no Roger or hello workunits released, only sextant. Or at least
I didn't catch
any... ________________________________________________

Aye mate. Also notice Project Summary shows large increase of
users. Might be Mac crowd. Capt. Jack may supply them soon. Might be
a few curious Einsteins that climbed aboard recently...
@ NeoGen;
yes. The madness continues!

I only just now recieved 60 of these WU at home. Looking at my account,
it looks like my laptop sitting at work didn't manage to grab
any?

Yikes! What just happened? An old laptop sitting in the basement
just downloaded more WU than i can count before i could recover from shock
and disable network access. What a blast! I see some others are in this
boat.
