My result from the Asteroids@Home competition and participating at the GPUGrid BOINC challenge

Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to show you my result from the “Compete with team Gridcoin! Asteroids” challenge, in which I placed #110: I used my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 to process this project’s workunits which are, of course, about Asteroids. These are my statistics in the project up to today: That number will continue to go up as tasks are still being validated: Please note that while my credits will continue to go up, these no longer take effect…

Yet another update of the Google Drive software I wrote (v1.8.3)

Yet another update of the Google Drive software I wrote (v1.8.3)

Hi everyone, Today morning, I continued working with the Google Drive Upload Tool I wrote last year. This time, I implemented a feature that lets you know the copy progress when a file is being copied to RAM before uploading it. This required some code changes and a little refactoring. First, the UpdateBytesSent function was updated, with a new Delegate Sub invoker for when we need to invoke certain elements. It also now requires the passing of parameters BytesSent, StatusText, and startTime: By doing this code rewrite,…

A Cardinal’s visit

A Cardinal’s visit

Hi everyone, These days have been full of happiness as I’ve received the visit of an old friend. I’m referring to the Cardinal, which is a red-colored bird. They come out during this time of the years, and I’m enjoying seeing a lot of animals outside. Here are some pictures I took of his visit: Also, not sure if this is also a Cardinal (Maybe a Female cardinal?), but he/she also came to visit: Hope you enjoyed the photos! Post…

Google Drive Uploader & Explorer v1.8.1 Bug Fix released

Hi everyone, So yesterday, I released v1.8 of my Google Drive Uploader & Explorer v1.8. Turns out that the release had a bug relating to uploading files when using the “Copy File to RAM before uploading if there’s enough Free Memory available” option. v1.8.1 fixes this issue The problem was that sometimes the RAM copy would be larger than the actual file because it used a buffer size (where a chunk of data was stored before moving it to RAM) of 1 MB….
