This is on the \'other\' CPDN forum;

\"If when your model tries to trickle or send 10-year uploads to Oxford you get the message \'No space left on device\' this means the server has run out of space (the device is the server). The best thing is to suspend network activity through the Activity menu for a day or two to give Milo time to move data round and find space for more.\"

Ice,
Happy St Georges Day.

Yes it is a shame that the extreme left have managed to demean our flag to such an extent.
As for the Dragon I always assumed that if St George killed anything it would have been a large Nile crocodile, but the defeat of the Welsh Dragon is probable a better explanation.

pb

Thanks pb! And yes the probabilities are intriguing, which is why you must join Team England to be intrigued even more!

Happy St. George\'s Day to you, and may we always admire a knight who can joust from a saddle :)

No mention of a Dragon in facts.
I have just purchased a Cross of St George air freshener which I will proudly display Monday, with only the slight reservation that people will label me a right wing thug for doing so.

pb

It\'s sad that anyone would be worried about flying an England flag for fear of being accused of being right wing thug. It\'s the sign of the times; a bad sign.

As for the dragon - it never was a fact. It was probably the English symbolizing their defeat over the Welsh dragon I expect - but as you can see, the dragon is still there on the flag of Wales.

But then again it was used to symbolize the Christian defeat over evil. But them so much about St. George is myth.

He\'s still the patron saint of England!

St. Georges\'s flag

Here is some information about St. George.

Saint George is the patron saint of England. He\'s popularly identified with England and English ideals of honour, bravery and gallantry - but actually he wasn\'t English at all. Very little, if anything, is known about the real Saint George. Pope Gelasius said that George is one of the saints \"whose names are rightly reverenced among us, but whose actions are known only to God.\"

Facts in brief

Everything about Saint George is dubious, so the information below should be taken as mythical rather than real.

  • Born in Turkey (in Cappadocia)
  • Lived in 3rd century AD
  • His parents were Christian
  • Later lived in Palestine
  • Became a Roman soldier
  • Protested against Rome\'s persecution of Christians
  • Imprisoned and tortured, but stayed true to his faith
  • Beheaded at Lydda in Palestine
  • 23rd April was named as Saint George\'s day in 1222


Patron saint

He is patron saint not only of England but also of Aragon, Catalonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Germany and Greece; and of Moscow, Istanbul, Genoa and Venice (second to Saint Mark). He\'s also patron saint of soldiers, archers, cavalry and chivalry, farmers and field workers, riders and saddlers, and he helps those suffering from leprosy, plague and syphilis. In recent years he has been adopted as patron saint of Scouts.

Post:
A lot of members belong to national teams which provide forums and/or websites in their own language, so that\'s a good thing. In fact, there are hundreds of unofficial boinc-related websites and forums for teams. A couple of our mods help provide support on French and Czech forums.

I think anybody running cpdn models is committed to the project, simply because of the size of the workunits and the effort involved in backing them up and so on.

I think Team England are committed to providing over 12 million BOINC credits so far.



Sorry Team Democratic Party, seemed to go off a bit of a tangent here - but good luck to your team :)

It\'s interesting for me to note that I first joined Team England over a year ago in BBC CPDN, but then left for the prime reason that I didn\'t think people should band together for nationalistic reasons. However, I now think that censorship by admin/moderators or by each other as to what teams are appropriate is, in itself, inappropriate. If people want to join Team England, let them!

(Not trying to criticize you in any way here Andy, just using what you said to make a point) Andy said \"I see you have set up this team in a number of Boinc projects. It is now clear to me that you have no real commitment to this project.\" Well, I have set up a Team England in almost all projects, the rest by other Team England members. So my commitment to this project must be pretty low, despite my current RAC of around 6000 in the various CPDN projects (see below).

It\'s possible that the vast numbers of crunchers have no real commitment to the projects they crunch in. They don\'t really understand them, never ask for proof that their completed models are used in any way (SETI has years worth of all crunching sitting idly on a shelf I am told). Let\'s be clear - the vast numbers don\'t post anything in any forum, therefore, prima facie, they show no interest. Most crunchers attach to a projects and seem to forget that it\'s running on their computers, the vast numbers never coming to any of these forums.

And what are these forums for and who is trying to tell who what should or should not be said, apart from the rules?

If you don\'t like a team, ignore it. If you don\'t like what somebody says, ignore them.

Voting for the new team BBC CCE team England founder, and the new BBC CCE team England name, will start on Tuesday 3rd April 2007, and will close on Sunday 8th April at midday.

To keep things easier and better for all the voting for both team Founder and Team Name will take place in the same way, at the same time.

To vote you must be a member of team England in BBC and/or CPDN.

The voting will be anonymous. Please send your votes by email to me at

If you prefer, you can send me a pm (private message) in the team England forum http://england.brilliantsite.com – send to “Ice”.

You can send one email for each vote separately, or you can send one for both Founder/Team Name votes.

The first vote you place counts – you cannot change it after you have voted.

I will copy all votes to the site admin and moderators at the England forum for scrutiny.

The majority vote wins; there is only one vote for each person for Founder/Team Name irrespective of how many teams in different projects you are in.

The following have expressed a wish not to be included voted for as Team Founder;

Martin_RS and myself.

Obviously it would be preferable that you vote for those that show a particular desire for the post, although it is up to you as to who you vote for. Canvasing is up to you - it\'s up to you to enlighten us on suitability as you feel appropriate.

The following team names have been suggested so far for your voting consideration;

team England CCE
team England UK
England UK
team England GB
England GB
Crunching for England
Crunchers for England
Team England BBC/CPDN
Boincing for England
BOINC England
England Experiments!

It is expected that the Founders of the various team England projects will bring the team names into line with that chosen for the BBC team.

Please send me your votes to from Tuesday onwards.

May the best person/team name win!

There is going to be a vote for a new founder for the BBC team England as part of the BBC to CPDN transition. (Decisions cannot be made about changing the team name until we decide who the new founder should be.)

Voting will start on Tuesday 3rd April 2007, and will close on Sunday 8th April 2007 at midday. (These dates are in line with the poll for the new team name.)

This allows some time for canvassing before the voting opens and, for example, declaring unwillingness to stand. For example, RS does not wish to stand since he already has his hands full with being founder of CPDN and SAP. So please don’t vote for him.

To vote you must be a member of team England in BBC and/or CPDN.

The voting will be anonymous. Please send your votes by email, stating the name as displayed in the BBC and/or CPDN team to me at

ice dot baron at gmail dot com, ie, in the format of one.two@three.com

If you prefer, you can send me a pm (private message) in the team England forum http://england.brilliantsite.com – send to “Ice”.

The first vote you place counts – you cannot change it after you have voted.

I will display progress of the voting, but will not disclose who voted for who, on the team England forum http://england.brilliantsite.com. I will pass all voting emails sent to me to the site-admins of the forum for scrutiny.

The majority vote wins; there is only one vote for each person irrespective of how many teams in different projects you are in.

May the best person win!

As part of the move from BBC to CPDN it has been suggested that team England should have a brand new name.

Unfortunately the \'England\', \'team England\' etc, names were taken up early on and the founders gone into a coma. What we suggest is that members of team England propose names (not already taken) that we can vote on next week in a poll.

We already have some names put forward;

\"Team England UK\", \"England UK\", \"Team England GB\", \"England GB\", \"Crunching for England\", \"Crunchers for England\".

If you want to submit a name you must be a member of team England in BBC and/or CPDN and registered on the new team England forum http://england.brilliantsite.com to place your suggestions for the poll (the management have the right to discount inappropriate suggestions).

The place to put your suggestions is in this thread

Suggestions will be closed this coming Monday 2 April 2007 at midnight.

On Tuesday 3 April we will start a poll so that all team England members registered on the new team England forum can vote for their preferred choice. The poll will close on Sunday 8 April at midday.
