Why Norway? There's also plenty of chilled water up my way, Alaska, year-round.

Check page 1 this thread- you're too late already
[At least you are the same continent..]

new08, your fair country has plenty of cold water as well!

Hi.. I would like to ask you for a question.. these days we spent a lot of time talking about the outage of the Stanford's server and the wish that all works wouldn't have being lost.. So it has been normal, in last 3 days, to see this warning at the end of the uploading process of a project.. As we learn to know, almost of that points are going to be counted as usuaklly (I have to take allook, anyway).
But I noticed only 1 times another message: I can understand what it said, but I cannot understand the sense.. could somebody explain it, please? That's it Thanks very much, as always!

The most likely explanation is that you previously ran the WU and it failed at some point and sent results back to Stanford. You were then reassigned the WU and completed it, when you sent it back the server rejected it from you because you had already sent the results. The other thing I have seen happen when this message appear is you may have sent the WU and it did not register with the F@H client on your machine so it sent it a second time. There are probably other reasons this could have happend but I have not seen them happen to me.

just to better help you to understand, in effect, this warning comes out when the client finished to upload the work, but it had to try so many times because in that moment my wireless was in troubles.. looking at the log it seems that a previous time it upload 100% of the file, but a moment later it says that the upload was failed and it started again.. maybe one of these time it really upload the work without knowing it (:D - sorry, I can't say better in english )

That is the second explination I gave above and in that case you will recieve 100% credit for the WU. At least I did when it happend to me.

Haha! I understand Wasilla is knee-deep in snow, so that shouldn't be much of a problem. My parents are busy trying to clear their driveways and whatnot. Seriously, there's not much of a computer cooling issue in AK, especially right now. We have good Internet up there too; they should put some servers with the University of Alaska in Anchorage. We'll never have this problem again.

December 14th was a good day PPD wise, EOC reports 16 464 points.
Sounds right for my setup, as far as I can tell everything I folded during the network issue is accounted for. No more, no less.

I'm glad to hear that this seems to be resolved for all (or at least most) people. Sorry for the delay in getting this done. Once nice aspect of FAH's points system is that it has a lot of internal redundancy, so points are always safe (stored in multiple locations with multiple possible failures handled), even if it takes some effort for us to get them back into the system.

But it seems to me that something is still to be repaired.. I'm actually still receiving warnings, it happens a few minutes ago.. another question: the client time is always set to +0 timezone, or so it seems.. it is in fact 2 hours before my timezone (a +1 for the timezone and another +1 for the daylight saving time; is there a way to set the clock to the system default timezone?

thanks

Sorry, but, what warning?

My GPU always gets the same two lines you posted.

I assumed (look out) that WORK_ACK meant the server was saying "Work Acknowledged"

As far as setting the time goes, I have never seen a way to set the time on any of the different clients and machines I run.

It seems to be set for GMT, UTC, ZULU, or whatever they call it this week.

Hi,

Sorry to say that but still about half my points and WU are missing.

Regards,
