| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Another update |
The project daemons seems to be mostly working at this point. There are still some problems with scheduling, though, and there are *far* too many WUs in the queue due to the population script not being able to get queries out in time, so we're going to wait a while to see if it settles. However, it looks like the database is doing *much* better and there are no hanging queries. I'll keep you posted on changes.

| 2008-05-09: PS3GRID - Detail of the first numerical experiment. |
The first set of numerical experiments run on ps3grid.net produced 5,000 trajectories, 4 microseconds of simulated time, over 200 years of CPU time with a daily output of 100 ns and few GBytes, two orders of magnitude closer to single-molecule pulling experiments. Thanks to all volunteers for this effort.

| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Break for a while |
Still having problems with the validator. After I grab some shut-eye, I'll work on it some more (it's only permission problems).

| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Update |
After much shenanigans, logging in is now working again, so the message board is up. Still working on the rest.

| 2008-05-09: Cosmology@Home - Maintainences |
The website is mostly up right now, but I'm still ironing out some bugs having to do with logging in. The project daemons seems to be up and running but I haven't verified that they are working properly yet. More updates to come.

| 2008-05-08: Cosmology@Home - Project down later on today |
Project will be going down later on today. Since we'll be doing OS updates, the web server will also be down.

| 2008-05-07: PrimeGrid - Problems saving preferences |
We are aware of the issues saving your preferences (the message states that the changes have been saved, which doesn't actually happen), and are working to resolve the issue. It has been reported that logging out and in again helps, so you might try that as a workaround.
UPDATE: as of 16:00 UTC preferences saving should work.

| 2008-05-05: Rosetta@Home |
The minirosetta application has been updated to version 1.19. This version introduces several bugfixes for our CASP8 abinitio and template-based modeling protocols. We'll be testing small batches of workunits this evening and tomorrow morning. For details, see this thread, and please report bugs in this thread.

| 2008-05-05: Cosmology@Home - Maintainence this week |
On Thursday, May 8, we will be bringing down the server for most of the day to perform the maintainence we previous mentioned.

| 2008-05-02: The Lattice Project - Note about MARXAN |
MARXAN is not a native BOINC application and as such doesn't do checkpointing or progress bar updates! Will make a note of this on the applications page.

| 2008-04-30: PrimeGrid - Sieve WU lengths increased |
In an attempt to lower the size of the database, we have increased the WU length to both the PSP Sieve and GCW Sieve projects. WU's are now 1.5X as long...so a 6 minute WU now takes 9 minutes. Credit has been adjusted accordingly.

| 2008-04-29: Docking@Home |
It was a while ago when we updated our volunteers. In the meanwhile Arun Rajendran has joined our group as a post-doc and will dedicate his time to make sure that D@H will be back for this summer. Stay tuned!

| 2008-04-28: Hydrogen@Home - Project News April 28, 2008 |
Many thanks to Claude and [B^S] sTrey for the Mac Intel platform which works on multiple versions of OS X. I continue to trouble shoot AutoDock issues. It looks like I have resolved the issues related to atomic parameters. Still, there are some troublesome molecules that our scripts have trouble processing. I am carefully studying these and communicating with Scripps.

| 2008-04-28: Leiden Classical |
Last week a group of 3rd year bachelor students conducted a project on Leiden Classical. They tried to compute the diffusion
coefficient of the water model we are studying. During their project they made use of the new Classical Builder. This new builder
version is capable of submitting calculations directly to the Leiden Classical BOINC desktop grid! On of their findings for this
model was that even at 298 K the water still lacks correct liquid like behaviour. Further scientific study is needed on that project!
Furthermore, two other 1st year students are setting up a project on Leiden Classical too, they intent to improve the HCl in water
simulation of two year ago. They took on a challenging task and we are all curious what the result will be!

We got a new Mac Intel platform and I would love a little testing from some folks out there. You should be able to generate workunits for your host on our workunit generator by using the listed examples.

| 2008-04-26: The Lattice Project - Fast CGI Woes |
In attempting to upgrade to Fast CGI versions of the cgi/file_upload_handler programs, it seems we've broken file uploads. UPDATE: I'm hoping this issue is resolved. However, please report any errors! (as usual)
