erm, not really sure what to say other than i saw this on TV ages ago and installed it. i don't realy have a lcue what it is doing or what my input results show.
all i knew is that i would be helping out so i thought..what the hell, sure.

can't remember when i installed it but i was bored today and decided for the first time to click diff info on it.
there i noticed "teams" and looked into it further.

lo n behold, OcUK was there

so i added myself to that team. hope it's ok as all i can gather is that it's all for a good cause.

i can see the results but it realy doesn't mean a thing to me?

it says i am on 50.22% (i guess that is completion of my part)

Credit = 20,736.00

what the hell is credit? sounds like we are being paid for it

welcome to the team - there are a few guys doing the BBC project so one will be along shortly I'm sure

sounds like you're doing well - these work units are pretty huge so being 50% through is a great achievement I know that much at least

as for credit I'm afraid it's just for competitiveness, money would be nice though eh?

Hurrah more Boincers.

Someone will try to convince you to Fold shortly. Don't listen to them.

20K is a good score by the way, puts you 23rd in the team

EDIT: And here are your stats.

Welcome to the team!

The more the merrier, our output seems to have declined recently, from the looks of it it's not just me that has had to turn a machine off recently. :mad:

ATM I only have a lowly 3000+ running about 8 hours a day, my other PC is running seti and the dual xeon is switched off in the attic at home. :mad:

OT but where has Beansprout disappeared to? He hasn't been on here for a while, his uploader has gone down and his output has gone down too. :confused:

Welcome, the more the merrier.

Joe42 · 11 Oct 2006 at 14:02

It says 1892 hours remaining. Will i get some credit before this?

Peter-B · 11 Oct 2006 at 16:12

You should get about 300 points for every model year completed

, starts Dec 1920, every time it completes a year it dumps the results to Oxford and the points are awarded. There are 160 years for the complete model :mad:

, its should complete a year in 10-20 hrs depending on your rig.

Joe42 · 11 Oct 2006 at 19:48

Is there anywhere it tells me how much of a year i have completed?

Peter-B · 11 Oct 2006 at 21:00

If you open BBC BOINC task manager, click the tab marked tasks you should see the project, click "show graphics" and it should display the world globe with all the relevant details. Hope this helps

Joe42 · 11 Oct 2006 at 21:22

1921. Thanks now i know where to look.
