Daylight Saving has me screwed up. The project will be announced at 9am CST right?

I usually use this just to make sure.

The announcement is at UTC 16:00.
= 10:00 Central Standard Time (CST = UTC-6) in parts of Canada
= 11:00 Central Daylight Time (CDT = UTC-5)
= 09:00 Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC-7)

 

[ao_ika_red]

Less than 2 hrs before project announcement.

And the project announced on the FB site is...

MOD_PYTHON ERROR

 

[TennesseeTony]

Gawd. They forgot to pick one again. Lol

Sounds familiar. But I can't find it in boincmgr's "Add project" dialogue. ;-/

You'd think they could set up something to handle this if they forget. The simplest way would be to say, "Whoops, we forgot!" Or they could set something up to pick for them from the entire list of possible projects - though some really aren't good candidates. Or they could make their own list of good candidates and have a project auto-picked.

How long do we have to wait?

I have one of my world clocks set to Dakar which has no daylight savings time. I rollover my date/time and it shows Dakar. (My time is 24-hr format.)

 

[Ken g6]

Aha! The project is World Community Grid.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Hmmm. We are 14th currently in the Marathon. It's going to be a tough one!

 

[StefanR5R]

At last year's sprint, we made 2.3 M and would have been 9th if we had ran in league 1.

(Just like a rank we would have aimed for in a Pentathlon.)

Well I have double bunkered my machines with extra HDs and multiple OS, Linux by far is working out the best at this point in time. A little over 3k in projects will be ready to drop on the starting gate!!

Will WCG run on a 486 DX66?

Remaining time for task completion: 2weeks 3days 5hours 10 seconds left.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Funny! Wait...you serious?

Let us cheer for him:
Two bits! Four bits! Six bits! A Byte!
Come on 486, crunch with all your might!

Coincidence?

 

[crashtech]

Funny! Wait...you serious?

There's not often reason to doubt my sincerity, however, in this case...

 

[[H]Coleslaw]

Coincidence?

How much RAM does it have and what OS?

 

[biodoc]

The sprint has started and we are tied for the lead.

 

[StefanR5R]

Tied for the lead with 24 other teams.

So, WCG updates their stats every 12 hours right? I guess it'll be awhile until we see some numbers at FB.

 

[StefanR5R]

FB pulls hourly updates, but I am not aware of WCG's export URL for this.
