    October 2015 competitions

    October again! My home town again celebrates the good outcome -for them- of the 1574 siege by the Spaniards.
    Leftovers, still to be enjoyed: Herring with white bread and Hutspot! Oh, and we got a University for it too. Challenge-wise we begin with a leftover too:


    September 30 to October 07 - Our anniversary! (Site BOINC.RU - 10 years!)
    Boinc.Ru organizes a SAT@Home challenge in honour of their 10th birthday.

    Team Amateur Radio Operators knows something others don't and it is about somebody trying to phone home.

    October 15 to October 20 - Full Moon* Rising
    Sicituradastra organizes a MilkyWay@home challenge, it has something to do with Arizona Moon* flashing her knickers I believe...

    Let's take forward the World Community Grid project! Keep crunching! as they say at http://www.crunchersansfrontieres.org (a little knowledge of French can be useful, comprenez-vous?).

    We're doing fine at SAT, even though it's a one-man show at the moment...

    ET still can't phone home and I still can't upload Seti WUs, we're both stuck. It's a shame that the project can't provide connectivity in the midst of a challenge.....
    Connectivity was restored, but I hardly made a dent in the score...>

    We did fine at SAT, but it was just me and B Johansson..TSBT has trashed us and BOINC RUSSIA is over us too, as is Seti Germany...
    If Vaughan could lend a hand -or two- to remain in the team's #1 position we might get Seti.Germany and perhaps BOINC RUSSIA as well. The Scotties have found the turbo button it seems...

    Huh? I don't follow you Dirk. Do you want me to run SAT?

    Denis is brilliant for me.

    Install optimized Denis apps under Linux (by courtesy of Alez of TSBT):

    Instructions from the forum to install linux apps
    Code:
    1. Open up a terminal
    2. Change to the directory where you downloaded and extracted the files (If not extracted yet, use tar xfvj DENIS@Home_Linux_x64.tar.bz2 after cd to the download directory) $ cd /home/$USER/Downloads
    3. Open a root shell to be able to access the BOINC data directory $ sudo -s
    4. Move the files to your BOINC data directory # mv DENIS@Home_Linux_x64/binary/* /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/denis.usj.es_denisathome/
    5. Change owner of files to user and group boinc to enable access for BOINC # chown -R boinc:boinc /var/lib/boinc-client/projects/denis.usj.es_denisathome
    6. Restart BOINC # /etc/init.d/boinc-client restart
    7. Exit the shell # exit $ exit
