BBC CCE - What year are you on?

[Strongbow]

I have just checked the progress of my leading core and I'm 50.86% through it and cruching the year 2002! ...just 78 more years left then! :? :roll: :cry:

Just that for 52 days solid crunching!!! I'm starting to feel sorry for my workstation, after it's finished I may even give it a nice cold boot as a present from me!

52 days... :shock:

You'd be 2nd ranked on our team if you were registered on the Uptime project

[Strongbow]

Ooo! Best join then!

Does it have any overheads?

[NeoGen]

It's just a little app that stays on the system tray, takes about 5 megs of RAM, and every half hour (or other defined time period) it polls the system for the uptime and sends it over to the site. Doesn't do absolutely nothing else besides that.

But one thing to be aware of is that if you want to put several machines on it, you have to create a separate account for each. Using the same reg data on several machines at the same time will get your values all screwed up.
That's why you see people with two and three accounts there but with different names.

I've just installed it and it says I've been up for 21days! :?

Ah ha! That's when I did a reboot after playing with windoze! Bugger!

[NeoGen]

When you started it, you chose "method 2" or "method 3" for the uptime polling, I hope?
I don't know the technical differences, but I know that method 1 has a limit of 49 days only.

[Strongbow]

Yep I chose method 2!

[NeoGen]

And to put the thread back on topic again...
DMMc seems to be the only one capable of matching Bozo on RAC... but unfortunately he started late, so has a 13,000 points handicap. :P

[Strongbow]

I'm just hanging on in there until my machine turns up in a week or two :hiding: , then hopefully I can decommison this old laptop and stomp ahead again!

Done just over a year (15months) in 4 hours on my AMD 3400+

Done the same amount in 6 hours on my P4 3ghz.

15 months in 4 hours????? How did you oc your computer to create such a beast?
