Thanks guys yeasterday just running Spinhenge today Eon(when I can get some work), Milkyway(love that chocolate) Spin and Dimes!

Had some trouble with this PC on Seti if our lads restart the computer after heavy gaming Seti units tended to become corrupted???? so I shy clear of long running WU's. Is it a Vista thing?

No, it's a Micro$oft thing, XP does it as well (although Vista is definitely more prone.) Mad

I've had to sit and watch a re-booted Quad-core running Vista go through a 3-day work cache (several hundred shrubs) and error-out every single one of them. Scary sight.

I have a sad duty to perform.

At the start of this crusade I lamented KWSN's lowly position in WCG and vowed to do something about it.

It is with very much regret that I must now postpone that vow, much as it pains me to do so.

Having stuck a nominal 2000 RAC (~20% of the Dentery) onto the project to take KWSN to ~8000/day, careful inspection of the stats reveal that, although we have overtaken Anandtech, we are still 107th (due to MySaoirse going past us at 70,000/day Shocked

). We will pass Ro-Community late tomorrow, but then upward progress will halt, and there are at least 4 teams queueing up to overtake us.

To progress further, we need an additional 5,000 to 10,000/day or at least twice our current shrubbing rate, a level I don't think is realisticallly achievable at the moment.

So I feel I must now reluctantly give this project up as a lost cause and apply the crunch to other projects.

I will, however, return at some time in the not too distant future to make good my vow to see KWSN get into (at least) the Top 100.

To Genmed, Sir Shrubbery, Zyclops and all the other WCG shrubbers - keep up the good work.

On a lighter, but still serious note - an invitation.

Congratulations to Ib Rasmussen (Malaria), HoC (Spinhenge) and, yesterday, Winnie (QMC).

You've all knocked me off the top spot in those projects, yet you're all still shrubbing like mad with no-one anywhere near threatening you.

As I won't be shrubbing those projects for a while (and I'll give due notice if I intend to start up again), why don't you apply at least a proportion of those 5,000/day to the projects mentioned in this thread (Lattice*, Tanpaku, Leiden, RCN, Poem & Yoyo are the current favourites).

Any contribution will be extremely valuable in vanquishing the teams who dare stand between us and World Domination.

I call upon you as true Loonie kNi!ghts to do your bit for KWSN. Let your conscience lead you to tread the path to the Holy Grail and eternal** glory.

* Thanks HoC for your contribution here.

** Well, at least until the middle of next week.

Even yet more progress.

Lattice: no movement, but Sir ohiomike has joined the Quest at a substantial rate of knots, so advancement is imminent.

MilkyWay: We dropped to a lowly 17th, but are now back up to 16th and on the move Smile

(thanks for your contribution Sir Brian)

Poem: now 7th Laughing

A week or so to Crunchers@Freiburg.

RCN: 30th Laughing

6 days to SaR Hessen.

Sudoku: Now we've recaptured our rightful 8th position, with no threats from behind and not much chance of further progress in the near future, I'll be diverting ½ my shrubbing on this one to the other projects. That should leave enough to consolidate our place.

Tanpaku: Should pass both USA & PCPKFrogs tomorrow, then a bit of a haul to AnandTech in 3 weeks or so.

Yoyo: as Sir Brian so succinctly put it, we're now 12th. ~3 weeks to CANAL@Boinc; the top 10 is beckoning - any more PS3s out there?

We're going like a train now, KUTGW kNi!ghts. #ni-2

Sorry Al, it is just a "blip" while Cosmo was down. But Lattice is a nice back-up project. (It is kind of a pain for me to run some projects, the Linux machines are 64 bit only, I would have to roll a 32 bit version to run a lot of projects. Or boot them into Windows- I have found most projects "don't like" Windows on AMD CPUs).

Abadon seems the best and easiest bet Laughing

I have decided to see what I can do with both cpu's on Milky Way as we do seem well placed to rise up the stats if just a little more help arrives. #ni-1

May have probs with dimes as well done nothing all day????

Being a Knight is all about kicking butt on a Holy Crusade after all Wink

Most of my shrubbers are running 4 or 5 projects, but I've got four running just 3. So I thought, Sir Brian is helping mightily on my suggested projects, let's return the favour and BOINC a bit of Chess. We're currently 35th, there's 8 easy places to gain and the top 20 isn't far away.

So:
to Chess website: Server Status: Account Creation - enabled.

to Boincstats BAM!: Add Project: Account creation - disabled.

back to Chess website: Create account - Account creation is disabled at this time.

Sorry, Sir Brian, I tried. If you happen to notice that account creation is enabled again, let me know (I probably won't remember to keep looking).
