Mark...

I know the feeling too, current voes nowadays aren't fun to deal with.

Both you and i are purely dedicated and always has been, i have been around these forums for a long time now watching everything get better and better.
So in terms of what the people here has achieved for seti, it's a really huge accomplishment and the gurus here should have every credit for it in the world.

I'm sad that you've had soo much trouble with the gpu's.. I have a suspicion if the pci-e bus is too overclocked because the symptoms you mention seems to coicide with that, otherwise i don't know.
When dealing with gpu's if i tend to have problems i most often back up getting it to work in default clocks and then move upwards. If that doesn't work i try different drivers and chipset drivers.

The most tricky situation i got some years ago was a particular gpu board that leaked sporadic 1 and 0 over to the I/O of the raid controller corrupting my windows installations.. That took a while to figure out.
When i replaced that graphics card with another one exactly the same i still got errors, until i tried same graphic card with a different manufacturer it worked.

Well time go by and the science is our passion and dedication and nowadays my internal competition i've achieved with myself building that gpu cruncher only to see what it could deliver at most.
If my calculations are correct this machine could get around the 75k Rac mark but i doubt that i'll get that amount of work dedicated to break that milestone. That's my own competition i've made with myself.

It would be a shame if you called this a quits , hope we could have you around here for many more years to come.

My 2 cents too.

Kind regards Vyper

[msattler]

Vyper............

You are too kind.......and knowing at the same time.

Being an old man, I do not deal with change  too well............
What has worked should aways work. 
Double dumb ass on me..........will not and should not be so. 
I still miss Simon.....that should give you a read on where I am. Not that Jason is a good man for picking up the gauntlet........He Is..

I will try to get on.  My problems with my first Cuda card should not defer me.
Just piled on top pf the Boiinc changes putting files where I don't want them and all.

I love you guys...........all of you.

What you have done here outshadows anything I have done..........

Be well.......I will try to carry on.

And now I part a bit from the Seti flak.............

To do what I do best.....share....

This is a song from my generation..........many years ago....
And yet it has gained new meaning today.

Pete Seeger was and is a man beyond his time.....some words mean the same today as they did 30 years or more ago.

I hope you all understand what I mean.......to continue the Seti quest, we have to take care of things on this planet, and quit killing each other.

[msattler]

And another spank from my generation.........

Christina's take on and old song......cleaned up with the 'dirty words' spoofed out........

Candy Man......I can post a version with the real lyrics........LOL...

You can pass that on to those who don't give a shit.
I am done kvetching for now.

But I have not forgiven anything.

[arkayn]

I know for a fact that I would not last if I ever went into the political part of the forums, so I stay out of them on all my forums that I visit.

I can have strong opinions, but mostly they come out of the other side of me that I do my best to keep hidden.

Keep plugging along Mark, we will continue to crunch as long as there is work.

Of course I am a ATI user and have to use my video card over at Milkyway since there is no support at SETI.

Well......that is my downfall........I do not keep my opinions hidden.....I wear them on my sleeve.

I will stand tall some day....for now I will retreat into my music thingys........and maybe EVGA will come thru and get my 285 working.........

For now.......I have been researching Tom Paxton a bit.......
Did not realize how many old songs he wrote that I loved when done by other artists.

Born in '37, he was a bit of Dylan and the rest, but never got their fame....he stayed in the background, but he wrote a few biting war protest songs along the way.....stick with me for a moment.

First, here are a couple of songs by Tom....
The first from back in '65...'Buy a Gun For Your Son'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WphNO24h9nA

This one is from '64...sung by Pete Seeger....quite appropriately...'What Did You Learn in School Today?'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf5Jn8O3s0c

The next is my favorite......my personal fav is a version by Mary Travers, which sadly, I cannot find on Youtube...but Tom wrote it.  From '66...'The Last Thing On My Mind'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08lVuhv_Va8

And he wrote so many songs that PPM and Dylan and Baez all sang too.........

Here he is catching up with the times....LOL...'I Am Changing My Name to Fannie Mae'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etUq7IY_7Mc

And a revised version that Arlo Guthrie did.....(yeah, born in '57, same as me, he's  still kickin'...)...'I Am Changing My Name to Chrysler'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daBx_PBrvSE
Live version....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAG0XMRty5Y&NR=1

It's amazing how closely knit so many of the artists that I know and love were back then.......hard to separate who wrote what the others sang.
I could post a hundred more linking various folks that might surprise you.


Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy....

[msattler]

And a newbie (at least to me) that somebody kind turned me on to........

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.........from the famed Sun Records studios............
Night Rolls On.  Sweet babe who can sing and play the blues..........my kinda chicky.

Potter and Satriani and others doing 'Cortez The Killer'...good kibble here!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paeNnR33i5Q

This gurly can sing............'Nothing But The Water....'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYrdfFpxTXQ

One more.........she's pretty hot on the 88's too........'Mystery Train...'

Just spotted this message passing through here.

Mark don't be too put off by the decisions of the seti mods to ban you again, these people don't always make the best decisions, but if you are constantly breaking the rules, they have to do something, and you know that you deserve it some of the time...LOL 

As for your contribution to the SETI@home project, its invaluable!. You do far more than just crunch numbers with Hugh rigs, you have been manning those forums for years and its people like you that keep SETI@home running. If there was no forum, and nobody chatting and sharing information, the project would never function. So never discount the contribution you make to the project, its very important!

I look up to you Mark, and i respect and value the information you share. I've got a lot of respect for you buddy. LOL....I'm even occasionally amused by your constant kitty rantings, but Mark that stuff keeps the forum alive, even if its only small talk, its good!

I even made a BOINC kitty smiley for you at one stage



keep the head held high Mark, and keep crunching!

Thank you Johnney........
It's the respect and affection of folks like you and many others on the boards there that make it worth my while....
It means sooooooo much to me.  And that's why it hurts me so much when the mods lock me out.
I'll be back.....someday.

I am not ready for the 'Big White Gate'...just yet.
Grace Potter again...amazing...
