Just set the fish tank in the refrigerator and knock a couple of holes in the side for piping and the fish would be fine. Just be sure to go thru the side and not the back with the piping and drill from the OUTSIDE in. Less chance of hitting a Freon tube that way.
Oh…and it is a good idea NOT to indulge in alcohol before or during this “experiment” :drinking:
Hindsight IS 20/20 :puke:
:fatalfridge:
something tells me that you should not refrigerate cooked fish. It don't tthink it keeps that well.
No worries. She'll be right, mate.
Winter 's just around the corner, down under.
Soon it'll be Arctic fish and happy CPU's and "who left that flamin' window open ? brrrrrr !" :lol:
Of course, a couple of Xeons would help warm the house in Winter. :shock:
V can you catch chaz then in the contest ??
Insufficient data available to compute.
Is the contest still on? The stats looks like it hasn't been updated for a while now.
Yes, the contest has always been running. I've updated it yesterday, and will update again in about an hour.
What stats are you talking about?
OK, just making sure because no one was posting here.
My cable and dial-up ISP went back on line at about 3am AEST. Might make the SOB stats line look off but Neogen's stats should be OK today. I think Chaz is going to catch me soon :shock:
if you stick at 40,000 and he at 50,000 there is very little gain per hour.
Finally regained my 1st place in WhatPulse! :P
Beware of bwhite... he's been quiet for a while. Probably preparing another one of those mega flushes... :P
And if anyone noticed, the Dnet stats are not so good. Dnet has been having problems posting their stats on time the last couple of days, I hope the problem is solved soon, but in the meantime the contest stats have been showing the stats one day behind...
[EDIT]
The Grub site was down too today... so no update :?
[/EDIT]
gamer007 - what are you playing. Must be something that uses lots of keystrokes and few mouse scrolls or clicks!
Thanks for the update Neogen. However, the SOB stats made me want to :sad2:
whats up with my CB score http://stats.free-dc.org/new/teamsta...team=AMD+Users
- 19,000,000,000 :S
The CB stats from yesterday had us dropping millions, so I ignored them. Todays look ok. Except that Oli seems to have done quite well recently ;)
you reckon it will resolve itself by tomorrow then ???
If it doesn't, email them. But Bok only process what he receives. My CB stats today show you having a big drop (not possible).
Regarding the contest, I'm happy to announce that Dnet has got back on track (and on time) with its stats. And also Grub, whose website had failed yesterday, today had its two-days-worth update. :)
Grumbles ... I did 1000 in Grub last night on dial-up and it didn't show in their stats ... Grrrr!
Dhep was down yesterday, so no stats. Also CB today, we're up to 3rd for real.....loads of users stats missing though.
Seti Classic site has also been down for a while.
I see the state of play tonight.
i went on the Free DC forums and asked, it seems that one of my machine has reverted to anon/no team so i have then - . When i put it back and it all refreshes i should be ok.
i got it sorted and looking at the stats i am back on your trail ot.

I have noticed that if you view the stats whilst the CB project is running a game, many of the users are not in the stats file because the project server is updating them at the time. If Bok's stats update happens to occur during a game this is why we see lots of points drops on the "current" figures. The next stats update after the game has finished generally corrects everything as long as the CB server has finished updating all the users stats by the time the file is read.Quote:

There is another scenario where points appear to shift backwards and forwards between users which is a deliberate attempt by certain users to kid themselves into thinking that they have achieved a stomp. It isnt. I have checked.
i wasnt looking for a stomp, i would be happy enough if my stats just added up as normal.
Hey everyone
I just noticed that something happened on the Find-a-Drug stats... 9 people disappeared from our team for no reason...
To you guys... ahab, Elez, SlackPawn, Eric;9, Matt;7, Bad, COOGS, Pasadena, PoloDeNante... if you guys didn't change team then don't worry, your stats will be accounted for the contest when you reappear again.
Something must have gone wrong in the FAD stats page, but it will be fixed soon.
LOL - Empty_5oul, I wasn't referring to anyone in our CB Team. I wasn't sure how to put it tactfuly so I left out the reference, but I should have made that more clear. Apologies.Quote:

Hey everyone!
I'm a bit late, but I've done it. Another month has passed on the contest, and even though it's been silent these last couple of weeks, I've always been here watching over everyone.
I haven't updated the first post in a while. Been a bit lazy :P But the full tables on the website are updated everyday, and you can check them following the link to it that is right on the first post.
But without further delay, here's a little summary of how this last month was, and comparing to the first month.
17-or-Bust
In the two months I've been watching we produced 232.74 Tera cEM's, which is about 25% of our total production on this project!
Last month our production was 107.8 T cEM's, which means that this month we produced 124.94 T cEM's.
DNet OGR25
A month ago I had measured 482,213 GNodes for our first month of production. And today I see our two month production being 907,228 GNodes.
It's almost a million GNodes done in two months, and that is incredible, seeing that our team has only little over three million GNodes overall.
Our production lowered a little bit, from 482,213 GNodes in the first month to 425,015 GNodes in this second month.
DNet RC5-72
If in one month we had managed to put out 43,416 Blocks, in two months we put out 85,660 Blocks, which means our production was stable here.
We outputted 42,244 Blocks this month which is very close to what we had done last month.
But crunching 85,660 Blocks in two months is amazing, because our grand total on this project is currently 194,485 Blocks.
Find-a-Drug
We are going strong in many projects, and this is one of them. In two months of contest our production was 12,573,648 GFlops.
Given that in the first month we had only crunched 5,890,344 GFlops, that means that this month we crunched 6,683,304 GFlops. We are raising the bar here, lets see if we can keep it up.
Folding@Home
112,006 Points done in two months. Now this is a respectable output that has earned us some ranks up already.
In the first month of contest we had done 57,380 Points, and this month we didn't drop much from it, putting out 54,626 Points.
Grub
This is my favorite one to watch. And for you to see how well we're doing, in the first month we had outputted a staggering 20,246,668 URL's.
And this month we raised the bar even more and outputted 24,200,926 URL's, totalling in 44,447,594 URL's for the two months.
WhatPulse
To finish, one project we really have been jumping up lately. In two months we submited 19,840,624 Keypresses. Out of curiosity I did a few averages and learned that in these two months our team has been on average submitting 3.7 keypresses every second of the day and night.
An impressive value, and even more if we consider that we've dropped quite a bit here this month, from 11,387,962 Keys last month to 8,452,662 Keys this month.
Well, the contest is just a couple of weeks from ending, and most of the winners seem to be already defined due to the distance they have to their closest opponents. But surprises can still happen... ;)
Thanks Neo, a good summary. :D

Maybe, maybe not http://www.sb2.dyndns.org:8080/image..._something.gif http://www.sb2.dyndns.org:8080/image...20BB/angel.gif
7 days to go people!
It's almost finished and still I see surprises. :) If it weren't for OGR25's stats not be updated on the site by the time I made the contest values update, SlackPawn would already have conquered DMMc's 1st place. :P
Last chance for everyone! Let's put those machines (and fingers :P) working! :)
Contest ends tomorrow!
Make your last flushes today people, because in less than 24 hours it's over. Be aware that projects like Dnet for example only update the stats every 24 hours. If you miss their deadline for flushing data it will not be accounted for tomorrow's stats.
On a side note... I confess I did not think our team could push so much on these projects like it did in these last 2 and a half months of contest. Our increase in the ranks tables show just that. Great work team!! :D
well done neo.
beer - i have just seen you begin on your "take position" mission :P i will enjoy it whilst i am ahead.
The Contest is Finished!
Congratulations to our 5 winners!!!

Chaz (17-or-Bust Champion)
DMMc (Folding@Home Champion)
gamer007 (WhatPulse Champion)
SlackPawn (DNet OGR25 & Find-a-Drug Champion)
And also congratulations and thanks to everyone that participated but did not win. :)
A long journey of contest ends today, with the crowning of the top crunchers at the specified contest projects. Some of our winners might have won by sheer raw power, others might have won by strategy, but in the end both kinds of efforts prevailed. :)
This contest was not just for measuring members power, but it was also a great lesson of experience for me about storing and managing stats data, and overcoming all unexpected situations during work (and they were not few)
And in the end, it was of major benefit for the Team, as the spirit of competitivity boosted our members production quite alot and helped us overcome many obstacles and go up dozens and dozens of ranks on the projects. (Sneaking up and overtaking Team Ninja was probably one of the nice side effects the contest produced ;))
On my behalf I can only say that I'm very proud of the Team! :D We, all together, made a fantastic job! I have now some experience and tools for stats handling and am now more ready to host future contests, if the Team wishes :) I still remember that there was a pending idea called "Boinc Grand Prix", courtesy of our admin Vaughan, that I am now ready to host and manage if the Team shows interest on it. ;)
p.s. - When I say "Team" (with a capital T) I mean YOU! ;) Yes, you that are reading this. If you're reading this you're more than likely a member of our team, and so YOU also have right to talk. Speak out your oppinion! Post away! :)

Well done Neo,
An excellent 3 months effort. Congrats to the winners.
:D :D :D
Congrats to the winners. Chaz you pulled that out of the bag :!: and I had everything I could that would anyway running SOB. Even my old P166mmx finished its task (it took about 9 months but was running for most of the contest [could you tell :?: ]).
I think we need to vote if we have a BOINC Grand Prix or select some other "conventional" projects for a race. Sort of like a handicap event if we run with BOINC - the more machines / projects you throw at BOINC the more you are handicapped ;)
I agree with BOINC and handicapped being used in the same sentence :lol:Quote:

However I'll go with what ever the majority decides.
I agree but grudgingly. :protest:Quote:
