I was just wondering if there is any word on when the Boinc update for CPDN will take place?

Sorry, but "when they are ready to do so", is all that can be said, until they're ready to make the big announcement.

Backups: Here

Imagine saying such a thing at work. Planning? Deadline? Screw it, I'll let you know when it's finished, leave me alone.

About what it was like during my 30 years working in the NHS.

Hi,
We are working to bring the update of CPDN into being in March or thereabouts.

This is a very big undertaking, and we are having to get more staff in to help us with the process.
The first stage, which is what we are currently working on, is to establish how our current setup differs from the 'Vanilla' BOINC. It seems CPDN is definitely 'Neapolitan' with some parts being 'Stilton' flavoured icecream.

As for the lack of updates, yes working for Oxford University is every bit as bad as working for the NHS.

Jovada, you are right, but that does seem to be how our managers here would like us to operate.

There is only so much that those of us at the bottom can do to improve the project when our managers are inert. Morale is pretty low.

CPDN Sys-admin (at least for the moment)

Thanks for that. All the behind the scenes work is appreciated if not completely understood by yours truly!

I suspect that some of the problems are reminiscent of the story of the tourist in Ireland who having asked for directions was confronted by a man who after appearing to think for a while said, "Well, if I wanted to go there, I probably wouldn't start from here."
