What's the matter? Is your Gulfstream V in the shop? 
Seriously, I think that your worldwide Borg network is very cool.

Eh, 3 countries isn't very world-wide hehe. It is cool to me, though, because it's very nerdy. I get a kick out of semi-real-time monitoring of systems in Australia. It's like time travel, I'm watching what they're doing tomorrow or something. 
Really the entire "farm" outside of my direct influence does about as much work a day as one core from any of the three 6400s I have. 455 RAC right now (they're all on one project, so it's easy to track), so hardly anything to get overly excited about. They keep promising to upgrade and I keep waiting, but I'm not going to hold my breath hehe.
Upgrading systems here will more of a noticeable impact. Like building a Q6600 system and clocking it up, that alone should give me something like a 50-60% increase in RAC just by itself. Should push me above 5k/day too, which will be nice. My position climbing in the world stats is really slowing down, so I need to add some more grunt soon.
Oh a totally unrelated note, I made a little KWSN avatar thing for the Dell technical forums. Here it is if anyone wants a tiny KWSN avatar hehe.

Well, it is over two continents, the other one of which is pretty much on the far side of the world.
I hear you about the upgrades. I keep hoping to talk some friends into getting some nice, fast computers so I can ask them about Borging them, or even to get some family involved and ask them to join KWSN.
Oh, well.

I eliminated one of the continents recently. Made the guy in Australia angry, and I'm sure he responded by removing BOINC (like ceasing to advance science is somehow a personal attack on me lol). Fortunately, that only cost me 2 systems and they were both fairly feeble.
I also lost one of the Canadians because his system was flaking out.
On the plus side, I just replaced them all today with even more uber haha. The other Canadian (props to Enlashok) upgraded today from an XP 3k to a Q6600 quad core. Bahahaha!
I also plan to upgrade from the XP 3k to a Q6600 by the end of the year, w00. Be interesting to see how the quad RACs over the next few days.
Old Farm (133 credits/hour): 
New Farm (170 credits/hour):

Interestingly enough, the stats at Malaria Control show that one of my Aussys systems is still BOINCing away, though I have no administrative control over it (he killed the DNS update software and never fixed it). I guess it'll keep going as long as Malaria Control has work haha.
So really I have one extra system in the farm still. It's the Sempron 3000 shown in the "old farm" pic above. I guess I'll have to photoshop it back into the new pic and update the totals to reflect it, since I don't get to see it in BoincView any more.
Oh, and the previous credit prediction was fairly close. 133/hr is 3100 ish a day, while I was bouncing around a 3400 average. It's predicting 170/hr now without that Sempron, which comes out to just over 4000. If it holds true, I could be averaging 4400-4500 w00!

Criminy - that's like trading in your Toyota Camry for a V12 Mercedes S600
Good for him and good for you!
