Good morning all. Got a few Betas today. Congratulations on the new diamond Thargor Thanks!  I've not seen any beta work-units, yet, but I have dropped my cache-duration down from 2 weeks to 1 day, to get ready for a potentially new project, so it's likely working through that before grabbing anything new (beta included).  |

There's a lovely set of badges achieved this week... a Diamond 20, a Diamond 10, and two Diamond 5's. The team has been riding high recently, with over 90 regular contributors, and no one having deserted us for nearly four months. Also, I notice that we'll be in the top 40 for results in a few days' time, and we'll hit 3,500 years of crunching late next week.

Good morning all. I've had 14 Betas in total - the first four errored out before running but the rest have validated. Durations are up to 8 hours on my Macs but have been as short as two hours.. Now here's the challenge.... How can I get 140 CPU days of Beta testing to get my Emerald badge?

...Now here's the challenge.... How can I get 140 CPU days of Beta testing to get my Emerald badge? I'll echo that question, I'm only up to 106 days of Beta Testing work-units! |

Well, that was a bizarre issue finally sorted out...
----------------------------------------I was using AndroBOINC on my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) to remote-control my dedicated server, as the client on Mac OS is a little unreliable (at best), but have recently got a new phone (Galaxy S7). It seems, between those versions, Samsung decided to change button-functionality, and a long-press on the "recent apps" button (which would normally open the AndroBOINC menu, to configure/add devices and connect to a remote server) was now just opening recent apps. A lengthy Google-search turned up the answer, finally, in that you now have to long-press the Back button, instead!  |

Good Morning All.
----------------------------------------I sympathise Thargor. In the good old days you could say RTFI but nowadays nothing seems to cover all of the complexities of a modern smartphone. By the time you find out how to do something the phone is redundant.

Good Morning All. I hope you are having a good weekend. Last night we had some long awaited rain. However much you irrigate a garden, it is no substitute for the real thing. It's good rain too - not too strong that it runs off the land - nice and soft so it soaks in. It should make the Tomatoes and melons nice and fat too!

Results rank up one today, and we should be in the top 40 in a week's time.

Good Morning All -
----------------------------------------Results rank up one today, and we should be in the top 40 in a week's time. Well done Team UK. We seem to be accelerating. Perhaps as cooler weather enters the UK it will accelerate even faster. I have just tried to look at the WCG Team UK stats page Dave and the Overtakes data don't load. Maybe you are tinkering with it at this moment.
