don't forget the challenge starts today @ 18:00 UTC.
And remember this is a seiving challenge so 64 bit OSes get a "brucie" bonus....
34, 64 bit cores at the ready

it wont let me get any on the lappy. I have 2 SOB biguns and it won't get any small ones until those are gone I guess. I tried suspending them and no dice.....
So I only have 12 cores on the Challenge and only 4 of those are 64 bit
Btw: did anybody notice,... Major Kong is with us in the Challenge

You guys STILL talking about me?
And yer right... those SoB's are real SOBs... At least I got my bronze in it already (off of 1 of them... the other one I completed is still awaiting validation).

I am! The TRP (sieve), the project for the St. Patrick's Day parade, is the last one I need for a full set of all the bronze badges. I was close before the Ide's of March challenge, only needing about 2640 credits to get the TRP Sieve bronze.
But the status is likely to be short-lived -- they are planning to add TRP LLR as a project soon. Then, I get to start upgrading to silver and higher...
Have fun.

Likewise.
Yes, 1 WU and ya get a badge on SoB LLR. They are LONG. It takes me around 1,000,000 CPU seconds to do one of them, and the granted credit is 10855.36 cobblestones for the one i did that was validated (got another still waiting... and waiting...). That was about 11.5 days of crunch time on a 2.4GHz Core2quad...

About an hour and a half to go, and KWSN is in 15th place on teams for the current challenge.
Individually, I am at 363rd place. Not very good, but then I am down to just 1 computer at the moment.

well we really got our a$$es handed to us this time... 15th. I came in 193.... last year I usually came in the 50's to 60's.
We either need more knights or we should quit this altogether...

Well, I ended up in 216th place. Although, I was really hoping I could have finished in the top 215!

Um,... I am a truck driver, at one in the afternoon I am in northern Michigan going 65 mph on a freeway...
Be happy that I now have a laptop and access to a wireless connection....
Btw: northern Michigan actually has Wolves and Bears walking around.....
it is the definition of "The Woods"
