Well...I guess progress is being made. The server seems to be up as I can see stats and the message baord again. I was getting a bunch of "can't open log file" errors, but those have gone away.

Now I am getting "project is down" messages:

I amseeing the same problem here trying to report results -- seems like there may be just one more recovery tweak still required.

I was guessing a permissions problem for the log file. Like maybe they didn't open the permissions enough, or create a directory or something for the log file thing. But now it looks like they took the system down to fix it. Hopefully it comes back soon. I want to get cranking out results again!

Could well be -- with Rosetta being offline this week, I simply suspended it and let work reallocate to my other active projects. I've joined a total of 8 projects for my collection of PC's on BOINC over the years. Current status of my eight projects:

Climate BBC -- basically shut down, no new work since early this year.


Predictor -- dormant -- until they generate a batch of new work. I pick up 'returned for reprocessing' work units as they time out and get recycled, but nothing new, nor is there ANY indication of when new work will be available from the project team.


Rosetta -- well we know about this guy.


Einstein -- active, but since the new work units require fairly long cycles with no trickles and since they don't run nearly as efficiently on AMD systems, I've reduced resource share.

That leaves my current (today) most active four

SETI -- the original BOINC project for me -- they have been having problems generating new work over the past week.


Climate -- (not Climate BBC) -- the payoff here is that though their work units are VERY large, they handle trickles so one can get daily process credit.


World Grid -- different interface and structure from the other BOINC projects, but it has been very solid for me.

Spinhenge -- I added this one last month when Predictor went dormant. And I've added it to a number of my existing workstations once I get down to three active projects on a particular workstation. Spinhenge is nice for folks who want short work unit cycles (basically 10 credits each) with pretty quick validation and credit award cycle. The only downside here is that it is in Germany and most of the traffic in their newsgroups is in German.
