I just joined the SETI@Home team here at BBR.
Since the scheduler system is currently having problems with the prefs being loaded from the Berkeley server, I wrote a global_prefs_override XML file as described here:
»
boinc.berkeley.edu/prefs ··· ride.phpWhat I'm doing is assigning BOINC to third shift, 11PM to 7AM local time, allowing it to have full use of my AMD X2 4400+ system. So far, it seems to be working but I wanted to make sure that I did not need to enter the time in UTC.
Please take a look and offer any suggestions or corrections I may need:
