I think it's supposed to be the other way around, aka NHFR.

Little-Endian is the devil, and it bites me all the time. Confused

Oh why, oh why, can't the whole world be Big-Endian?

In that case we have all got it wrong (including chimera245) Shocked

I'm currently on 1396796976 = 53416E30 = SAn0 which would be 0nAS if you were right... Wink

The pancake looks properly cooked but the rabbit looks a bit underdone.

Indeed, sir. I missed the (possibly numerous) post(s) that they're running a Windows server.

So it was RFHN.

Whoops Embarassed

 		Thanks Ashin for the link about Big/little endian. I was just starting to understand the explanation and my brain started to hurt. But its nice to know that we are doing big. (at least that is how I interpreted, I could be wrong, or just didn't read far enough before my brain went ouch!)

Anyway, boo to my hubby. He turned off the client on both puters we are running earlier, and forgot to turn it back on.

Is there any way to send me a link to check to see about these "WU" amounts being processed.

BTW, what is a WU? No response needed, just a slap on the head, and a PM will do.

Come on, you know you want to PM me, just so you can slap me, and explain it.

A "WU" is a Work Unit.
Each work unit tries all of the (8 character) keys beginning with a 4 character sequence that is unique to that WU (see a couple of pages back in this thread for how to convert a WU number into the 4 character sequence).

When your computer is working on the project it (typically) is given 10 WUs to work on before it goes back to the server for more work.

You can easily find out how many WUs you have processed as the information is on the screen when you start the client. Cool

In the attached example, this computer ("This Client") has processed 2600 WUs, all of my computers together("My Email") have processed 208381 WUs and the total number of WUs processed by the project ("Processed Units") is 6813773.

Note the "Active Clients" figure of 1345 is for all clients, not just mine! Rolling Eyes

 		Hey guys

just to let you know I am still alive and kicking. RL has been quite busy work home and alas no play Evil or Very Mad

However, things are fianlly settling and I will be free sometime next week so expect updates on the site puzzles and some other ideas I have been toying with.

Great to see the numbers building.

 		Finally managed to get the client running on this machine.

Seems to be starting U6Bg, if I've got my conversion right.

 		Hi,

I've just expired a whole bunch of expired work units and inactive clients, recycling the work units into the pool.

Nothing to be alarmed about - just not something I've had the time to do for a month or so.

50% approaches - my guess would be some time on Friday or over the weekend.

I *MAY* (or may not) flip the assignment algorithm to start assigning from z at some point once we get past 50% - in case MC have been devious. It doesnt really make any difference but wont do any harm if we do say the last 10% before flipping back to normal assignment.

 		Uh...
So, I just had the client crash on my machine, log to follow... just a quick question though... what sort of verbage is displayed by the client if you do in fact find the key?

Code:

Ending Unit 1429747556 at:07/18/2006 08:59:49
Done

=================================================================

 		woooo nearing 50%

I have now got a clear RL and can be here to bug you all into running those clients. So to really tempt you to help a new LJ puzzle has been uploaded to keep you occupied while your computer works on those work units.

Enjoy Puzzles
