UK BOINC Team Forum

Hi all,

I'm planning on being away from a PC, over Xmas - I have a few other things that need some of my time - so I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you all have a safe, peaceful and relaxing time over the next few days.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to suggest that at some point you raise a glass in thanks to "Janos", who has performed a minor miracle (IMHO) and spent a lot of time resurrecting our old forum data so that it can be hosted on a new forum version...

Without his superb effort, we'd still have a crippled and not very reliable forum. So 3 cheers to Janos: "hip, hip....??"


So that just leaves me to say and and chat with you all again soon

regards
Tim

Merry Christmas Tim and all,

I shall also be away from any PC over the Christmas and New Year period so crunching is going to be "set and forget". I will, however, still be on the internet and popping in to the forum periodically.

Not knowing exactly who did what and what needed to be done, I would also like the thank Janos, Tim and anyone else involved in moving the forum to it's new home. Good job!

Hi Mark - thanks for that

Stay safe and catch up when you return

It was a tiny bit of work by myself (say about 2%) and the other 98% was by Janos - and the suggestion has been made that at some point (soon) we dedicate a Crunchathon to either a specific project that Janos holds dear, or maybe members can swap teams (to TSBT) for a period of time? Either way, it'll be nice to be able to acknowledge his assistance as a "Thank You" for his outstanding effort. Quite how this would work, I don't know...maybe we set a target of providing Janos (or TSBT) with a number of credits...or we dedicate a weekend, or a week of crunching to any named project (or set of projects?).

Maybe we can see what others think is a workable idea and then we can see what Janos would prefer?

regards,
Tim

Merry Christmas all (and thank you Janos)

It would be good for Boinc if I *was* away from my PC over Christmas since it doesn't run when the computer is busy, and I close it down when I need to claw back some memory (might treat myself to a memory upgrade next year), but it does gets a good run overnight.

I'm up for donating some crunchtime to TSBT/Janos as a thank you for his efforts. But thanks also Tim for organising the move as I do like the shiny new forum.

Hi Tim and Francis,

I'm up for a crunch in Janos or TSBT name in recognition of his/their contribution to the forum

Obviously I'd prefer it either to be in their name (and the credits still go to us ) or in a project where we're not chasing them

If not, no matter, won't stop me from joining in.

Hi all

Merry Christmas to one and all - ho ho ho...

Merry Christmas!

It was my pleasure to lend a little technical support and I am delighted that your new home is working well. It would have been a great loss to the BOINC community had the history of your team not been carried forward for future crunchers to peruse.

I think a crunchathon is most definitely in order as a "house warming" party for your new forums.

Cheers
Janos
