Posted 4 Nov 2013 by Granite T. Rock Post: When BOINC tells me there's new messages I almost never ever click to view them. When I clicked on the messages I almost never ever click on the announcements to read more. When I follow through I rarely ever take a close look at the results. For whatever reason I did all of the above and I was surprised discover my computer was one of the ones to get lucky enough to be dished out the WU to do the computation for one of the new models. Even though it was just luck on my part to get a "winning" WU (there are many other number crunchers out there I'm sure who didn't get in, but crunched just the same) I do find it really really cool that my computer has done something useful. Thanks for sharing the results with us. Often BOINC projects feel like a black hole and it's hard to know what's going with a project. Glad to see you are keeping the community up to date. (I don't know if you have access to send messages to individual participants, but it may be worth sending individual messages to people whose computers did find a model. My guess is some people in the list may not know they are on it but would find it equally as cool as I do that their computer is on it). |
