The Year of the Dragon in 24 hours
The Dragon, the mightiest of all the signs, is a creature of myth and legend. In Asia, the Dragon is an auspicious creature, a symbol of benevolent power, strength and good luck and capable of great good. 23 January 2012 marks the start of the Year of the Dragon. Let's see if we can channel that Dragon energy to find some primes for the start of PrimeGrid's 2012 Challenge Series (http://www.primegrid.com/challenge/challenge.php).A 5 day Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid's Proth Prime Search (LLR) application. For more information, please see this forum thread (http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=3951).

My GTX260 is running PrimeGrid flat-out at the moment,
the GT430 does Einstein and Seti, the HD4770 does Poem, MilkyWay and Collatz, the HD3850 runs MilkyWay, Collatz and Moo! at my son and the HD6690D2 does Collatz and Moo! (It can't run MilkyWay as that needs double precision)
The CPUs are still busy with WCG -other challenge at the moment-, Leiden and ABC (both from my old Uni) and Rosetta (500k in sight)
As soon as the WCG challenge stops I'll free some resources for the Primies
