Wow 55 work units complete between the 5 of us! And Bob's WebTV computer :) It's funny checking out the sats when it was just me and now - huge difference :)

I'm hoping sooner or later we can double the # of us to like 10 - I might make a signature that gives the link when BB starts :)

Keep up the chrunching team!

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.

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.

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 EditMoveDeleteIP
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.

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:

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?

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*

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!

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.

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

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).

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.

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?
