    Anyone working on the new Pirates?

    Don't know if everyone noticed, but the old dead Pirates@Home was ressurected once more.
    http://pirates.spy-hill.net/

    Incredibly, even the old account key works! (Thank God I kept it!)

    And as it was tradition at this project, work is only rarely let out, and always when you least expect it!

    But all in all, we're still ranked 5th worldwide! :D

    AGRRRRRR....Pirates @ Home is indeed live again...
    Good to see em back, they said in the forum that they are mostly testing the forum code for schoolastic use, and that WU's will be spotty.I've reattached so let's see if I can catch a screensaver or two from them. :D

    Just how much work is let out? I've attached to it once again. Never got a WU, ever.

    As I've said above, they only release work when you least expect it. ;)

    Much like Burp, but more often than Burp.

    I got 4 while I was @ school. Too bad I missed the graphics (everyone says they're cool). Anyone have a screenshot? :P

    I got some :!:

    Screensaver looks like the Einstein one only says Pirates @ Home at the top.

    Very pretty to watch but I guess it consumes CPU cycles.

    Pirates tasks completed in a few minutes - less than 10 mins each.

    I also had a bundle of them during the day yesterday, but I was most of the day out.

    Gamer, you can see a few images and the description of the screensaver here:
    http://pirates.spy-hill.net/starsphere.php

    Note the "translations" bit on the top right of that page, the portuguese one was made by me.
    Now that I see it, it's needing an update...

    PIRATES has work aplenty, come one come all, gather round and do see do!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
