I know you are already having a run now but thought I'd post this up anyway :)

I'll probably still be running it by then, or at least back on it by then, have a few others I plan to run some after our current race is done.

Have revised the dates to avoid clashing with WCG bunny race and April project runs.

Revised dates......24th-31st March:)

Oh good, more racing :)

I should be able to participate barring any further hardware issues like this week. :icon_twisted:

(Two of my internet connections went off-line somewhere between my cable and ADSL modems and the rest of the pharm. Gggrrr! This doesn't help when the access is by logmein as there just ain't anything to loginto. Running at 1/3 capacity for the next few days until I can sort this out.)

What do you mean DD?

My principle objective is to raise the profile of the project and hopefully bring in a bunch of new contributors who may not have previously considered Poem.

It will also be a good indicator of WU generation capacity and server load etc.

Lets just say it's a fun way to test the project :icon_mrgreen:

Is only a week and contests always add a lil fun and spice to things.

The GPC will not be touring for the duration of the challenge.
I will be at home trying to keep my team in touch with the big guns :icon_neutral::icon_mrgreen:

Someone please tell the PC Perspective Killer Frogs to back off a bit in BOINC RieselSieve and then I can participate in the Poem race. :icon_twisted:
