Mssilhouette | Monday, June 24, 2002 - 07:52 am     I had a long one that lasted a few days...I'm happy to see the numbers jump Woohoo! Now my total points are: 1401 |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 29, 2002 - 12:24 am     Wow between the 5 of us we've now completed 73 work units! My current one is taking forrrrrever though lol (has a hit though!) We are in the top 15,000 now on points - not to shabby eh |
Whit4you | Monday, July 15, 2002 - 10:24 pm     Wow 173 work units - and I havent had UD up all week (had to reformat etc) Great job teammates... I'm setting my UD back up tonight! Whit |
Grant | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 10:28 pm     I used to be a supporter of "seti@home" but I find that the UD Cancer research program seems to be a more worthwhile cause for me. I've been a supporter of that program now for over a year. I'm very much aware of what spyware is, being a programmer in the industry. Both the seti and UD programs are not spyware by the media's definition. I use a popular program called Ad Aware and it has never detected my UD as spyware. You should have no worries as long as you do your homework on the company sponsoring the project. Congratulations to those of you who take the time to benefit a cure for this terrible disease that takes so many lives each year. I'm so glad I stopped by this thread. |
Whit4you | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 03:58 pm     Thanks for renaming the thread We picked up one more Team member ...(dunno who it is though lol |

Bob2112 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:54 pm     Whit, Good to see you on-line again. Try the following: \image{WorkUnit} and then post. After the post you will get an image upload screen. You can browse to the workunit.jpg and select it. Make sure it is less than 40KB and you should be good to go. |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 07:02 pm     Well I just finished a long one so now my total points are 3080! It's still updating the rest of the info...but dang this next one is a biggie too! |

 |
Whit4you | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 09:34 pm     A doozy isnt it lol - still going after 30 hours |
Mssilhouette | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 11:24 am     Hey Whit that was the last one I had! Aren't the 3D graphics neato though I got a new one and it's slow too, but it's probably the same one. Well at least we only do a piece at a time! LOL Task name is LigandFit if I'm not mistaken |
Bob2112 | Sunday, August 04, 2002 - 12:21 pm     Yes, I believe we all have the same Current Program Target for the task LigandFit and get different pieces broken up into chunks of 300. I've got it on all 3 computers. The fastest computer is finishing them in around 7 hours and the next fastest is taking around 11 hours. The slowest computer is currently down, so I don't know what it's timing is like. I'm sure it will be much longer than 11 hours. (MsSil, are you Evil?)  |
Whit4you | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 08:12 pm     WOOHOO We are now in the top 10,000 teams for pints generated Not to shabby for only 6 of us eh?? I'd love for a few of the 2500 lurkers to join us ... wondering if this sounds too complicated for them.. it's really not if they read the first archive of this...it's a few min to set up UD and a few min if they'd like..to join our team ... Here's the link to our team: http://members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=239D974B-2B9D-4561-BB04-F5B085814350 |
Reader234 | Monday, August 19, 2002 - 09:05 pm     Computer illiterate here. (siren, warning, warning siren) If you follow the link and click on join this team, it takes me to the login screen... so if I go to the download info, it puts something in some folder, but it doesnt ask me for info... could I be doing something wrong? |
Reader234 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 06:01 am     Well I cant login it doesnt recognize the name password *I* type in (when it asks me to!!) I hate feeling ignorant!! |
Whit4you | Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 07:02 pm     Reader - sorry - did you go to ud.com ? gotta go there and dl the software... here's a link http://members.ud.com/download/gold/ it's been so long since I did this I don't know the step by step - Bob could you help out here with a 'step by step' for newbies? anyhow go to that link - dl the software and I THINK there's a link on the main page of your program once it's installed (little blue icon on your system tray) that'll take you to "your stats" (right side?) https://members.ud.com/services/home.htm is the link you can go to once you've installed the software - the Member name is your first and last name I guess (at least it set me up as Whitney Marie which is what I put for first and last name) Anyhow sorry this isn't a better step by step but try the first link....install the software then try the 2nd link...? if you'd like to join our team - once you've logged on via that 2nd link...on the left side of that page is a 'team' link - go there and maybe hit 'find a team' Sorry if this is all complicated maybe Bob could do a step by step or someone else could..or I will on my next day off.. KISS* |
Reader234 | Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 07:45 pm     lol Whit, I'm just computer challenged is all!! I do have the ud as a screen saver, but every time I turn on my computer (we have to shut it down when we cant supervise the hormonally challenged teenagers! *G) I get this pop up to login, (oh and bob's name is on it btw!) but it always says I've got the wrong password (BUT it tells me to create a user name and password, and repeat my password, I've done this mind you to the point I just click the box closed!! oh and its already filled in my user name as sandy, and the last box has bob's name in it!! nuf to drive me crazy!!) LOL Hope you're having a good day! |
Bob2112 | Wednesday, August 21, 2002 - 08:36 pm     Hey, what did I do now? I will be installing another device at work in the next day or two. I will keep track of what I do to get this device up and running and post it here. Since I am adding a new device to an existing login, my steps will be slightly different than a new account, but I will try to remember what the other steps are. Sandy, you may need to create a new account to get it to work. Don't worry about first and last names, Reader234 would work just fine. |
Bob2112 | Thursday, August 22, 2002 - 10:22 am     Here's what I did to register a new device on another computer. Go to http://www.ud.com/home.htm click on download (toward the upper righthand corner of window) Selected "Download Now" botton Selected Save program to disk" File name is ud_agent_setup.exe and is 1.52MB Using Windows explorer I found file and double clicked it to launch Click Next Click "I accept" Click Next Leave Intsall Folder as "C:\Program Files\United Devices\" Click Next Select your internet connection type and Click Next Click Next to start install When install is done, Click Close The "UD Agent Registration" window should pop up. For new user: Use your TVCH name for both Member Name and UD agent Name. Enter your password twice. Enter email address. If you use a proxy to access internet, Click "Set Proxy" button and enter your settings. You're on your own with this, since I don't use a proxy. Select Login If all goes well, you should be up and running. To see your account go to https://members.ud.com/services/home.htm Enter Mamber Name and Password and Click Login. To join "TVCH Cancer Cure Team" Select Teams from menu on left side of window. Select "Find A Team" Enter TVHC in box to right of "contains the word or phrase: " Click Search It should find one team, Click on that team I get a button to "Quit This Team", you should get button to join the team. Click it. You should be all set. The layout on the Web site takes a little getting used to, but just click around and you should see the other members and lots of different statistics. I won't be posting for a while, so email if you need to get in touch with me (or you might catch me in chat late at night). |
Whit4you | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Bob - you are a saint you know that??? |
Whit4you | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 05:05 pm     Bob said he's leaving his UD on during his trip in case anyones wondering.. my last work unit had 48 hits woohoo |
Hypermom | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 09:58 pm     Hi all! I joined UD in April of 2001 shortly after my son was diagnosed with cancer. I quit in December 2001 when he lost his battle. After reading these posts, I started it back up today with my old team. I'm happy there are TVCH members crunching molecules along with me!! So, thank you for the incentive to get back to it. |
Whit4you | Thursday, September 19, 2002 - 05:34 pm     Sorry to hear about your son Hyper.. ya there are 6 of us ... but Bob's running an extra computer for our web tv'ers - so they make 7 over 100,000 points now - not to shabby for such a small group |
Hypermom | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 12:05 am     Thanks Whit. It's been a rough year for us without him. I miss him every minute of the day. You all are doing great! We're at 99,420 right now with 4 members....one inactive, which is my hubby. I'm going to download UD on his computers again. Have you gone to the message boards there? |
Silksmoke | Saturday, September 21, 2002 - 07:20 am     help !!!! Do I open file or save to my computer???? |
Whit4you | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 05:39 pm     Well wanna keep this thread active... think this is still a great cause. |
