Pool mining needs a way to track how much work people are doing. To do so, the pool requests that miners find a difficulty 1 hash of the current block. This low-difficulty submission is called a share. The pool then checks the difficulty 1 submission to see if it also meets the full difficulty problem. The full difficulty is ~1.5m, so it typically takes 1-2 million shares from miners before a block solve hash is submitted that is also a full difficulty solution.
When a full-difficulty solution is found and a block with 50BTC is generated, the amount of work done by miners and their reward is calculated from shares submitted.
The "accepted" message is likely that you submitted a share. A high-end GPU will find a share about every 10 seconds.

hehe yea I admit that 0.3BTC earnings were disappointing for this round, but that's the game ^^
Heh, way to go, mate! ^_^
bet you you wish you were Solo
yea, looks like I found this one, just on first mining day. Luck of beginner ;-)
I believe that eclipsemc keeps a list of people who found blocks at their website. Check there
When mining, I just noticed following line on console : eu.eclipsemc.com:8337 20/10/2011 09:47:21, block [...], accepted
Did I really find this block? How can I make sure about it?
Thanks
Its only a part of a block, not the entire block, but... It's something. You will earn the proportional part. Did I really find this block? How can I make sure about it?
