I rarely post any of the mixes from my show, however the e-mail demands and requests are at an all time high to hear it again.
Since the days before Dark Side Of The Moon I have always been a major Pink Floyd fan. And indeed, had the great pleasure to chat with each of them many times and to introduce them at several major concerts.
Pink Floyd will never appear together in concert again. For me, I think that may be best. It would be nearly impossible for them to live up to the enormous expectations of the fans.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been able to see Pink Floyd live about 7 times in various cities.
I'm lucky enough to tune this in on the stereo out of Oshawa, Ontario (94.9 FM) but he's also streamed live on the net:

Actually it was considered a bug to allow html in team name.
Security issues I think.

Suspend all other projects. Then update Einstein. Worked here a minute ago.

Ahoy mates!
The old Pirates@Home url has been redirected to my small attempt to keep a record of this most beautifully run BOINC project.
The pages you see there now are just html copies of some of the original php pages.
Because php doesn’t save well to html there may be small errors on the pages so don’t hesitate to point out my mistakes.
I had originally intended to save these pages for my personal visits when nostalgia called, but when I decided to upload these pages to the web I thought I should ask Eric Myers for his permission.
I was pleasantly shocked to see a post on Aug 27 by Thor Prime on the SETI boards that a new redirect has shown up on the old Pirates url. I assume Eric Myers is behind this decision.
The Pirates@Home archive is of interest mainly to ex-pirates but the curious are also welcome.

i'm happy about the new 14 day deadline...because that synchs E@H up with S@H
Good point. It does make things less complicated.
so now i can finally use the recommended BOINC 4.45 client...because now the client doesn't think i'm way behind on E@H...because before...the einstein WU's always had the earliest deadline...so rarely was a seti unit crunched...now all is just fine.
If you’re saying you’ve been running 4.19 until now I think you will really like 4.45
After a couple of weeks running 4.45 you should be able to sit back and see BOINC almost always make all the right decisions based on your prefs.
I’m surprised that 4.45 didn’t work for you with the shorter deadline because for me it made running E@H way easier. After crunching continuous E@H wu’s no new E@H wu’s were downloaded until other projects caught up to their share. My problem was that the next round of E@H sometimes hit me with 1 wu more than I could process before deadline. Underestimated completion time was the root problem. Big concern that may already be solved.

I prefer a short turnaround time, it discourages the wu hoarders that slow everything down.
Yep. If i am in your seat this is how i would feel.
But i am in a seat behind old, slow crunchers on dial-up that want to play.
We know we slow things down, but rationalize that we add flops to the project.
At first start of this project wu’s were way smaller and took a short time to complete. To ease load on the server it was agreed to make wu’s have a longer process time. I must keep a close eye on Einstein since that decision.
If Bruce Allen feels confident now that the servers can handle extra pain i believe it and will do my part to put him to the test. I think i will find this project easier to run now and will hopefully no longer return a result 10 minutes past due because i decided to eat first after work instead of running to puter and dialing in.
The hoarders and slow-pokes will only slow this project down by a small fraction of it's lifespan and could in the long run help.

I'm starting to make a new set of S4 workunits. I am now confident that our database can handle the strain, so these new WU have a 2-week deadline.

Big news for me and many others running slow machines on dial-up.
Big, big news. Big thanks!
Really hope this works out.

Arr! 'Tis a shame to see the ship sail off to be scuttled without even a word of farewell from the cap'n.
Aye! There was word, but very short notice.
