    10-4 mission accomplished, I am in but I will not be able to start on the Wu's till sometime tomorrow. Yellow Jersey insight, then I will drop one system to the BRS project.





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

    I believe you should say you hate your fellows in Boinc Australia as is running Sieve.
    If you wish to have a stable electric net immigrate to Sweden. My computers have not been down for years due to an electrical problem.

    Lagu :D

    yeh, don't go thinking that it is only an alleged "third world" issue..... My power gets dropped all too frequently here in the US of A. So you're not the only "special" person here! :D

    I guess I'm lucky compared to you guys... power only fails on average twice a year for me.
    There's always the occasional power failure when we at home plug too many things that suck too much power at the same time... like heaters along with the washing machines and combinations like that... but I guess that is our own fault :roll:

    Every few years I lose power for a few days. Usually at winter due to an unusual ice storm or late summer due to a hurricane or some such. Winter before last I lost power for four days. I have an over-sized UPS that can keep my system going for almost an hour if I turn all peripherals off. But then if I get desperate I can pull my truck up to the house I have a 2500 watt inverter that is handy in emergencies to keep the fridge, the computer and the fan on the gas heater going - you know, the essencials.

    Side Note - I thought I'd be apologizing to vaughan for being contrite in this thread but it seems that power companies all over the world need to reform their delivery processes. It seems that Uncle Zap doesn't care enough for the family so lets cut him out by voting with our feet and dumping off all our power Co. shares. (As if I had any to begin with - rubbish investment atm)

    It's funny though, I thought I'd have copped some feedback on the topical comment
    We need to do something radical here with numbers.
    which had me giggling for ages

    Incidentally, my AMD Linux boxen are starved in this endeavor and my Intel Win$ box is rubbish at it so I am now backfilling in other projects elsewhere. Should I win the lottery this weekend, you'll see the evidence in the stats, but otherwise I must offer up the best I have, my encouragement:

    GO TEAM ! GO !

    I am at 24 minutes a work unit, I have 6 more ufluid WU's to crunch then it is full steam 4200+ working continuous on the project. I could probably reduce the time to 20 to 21 minutes if I work at OCing the system a bit, but this could mean I would be offline tweaking the machine and lose valuable time crunching. Oh the dilemma!

    Please welcome "Wildcat" to the Project :!:

    Please no applause just throw money \:D/

    Jealousy does not become me. I was at around 92 minutes per WU :mad:

    WELCOME WILDCAT!


    PS - But I do throw money. Loads of it, in fact. But my wife is REALLY good at catching it :D and she has the unfair advantage of being right here (Managed to have a couple at the boozer tonight with the lads, though :P ).

    Fire 'em up Nflight! :twisted: You're doing great.

    Nflight, just get enough to pass me in uFluids. I promise I won't run it until the BRS threat is over. I'll let you have 1st for a while. So once you pass me come on over to BRS. We need you!!!!
