Looking at the recent numbers of 'puters and RAC, it seems like the big boys (and their big toys) have come back to the eOn project. The work servers have been ok since April, so that helps.

We've now sunk to 33rd on RAC and some big Germans armed with bratwurst and sauerkraut will soon be right behind us on total credit.
Don't mess with Germans and their food

EDIT/UPDATE - Photobucket have removed my pic of bratwurst and sauerkraut! Shocked

What da f*@k! Ok, I'll admit that German food is pretty disgusting ...

This from Graeme Henkelman at the eOn project,
"I heard from Sam that there was a calculation result which threw the server off. Removing the data point cleared things up."

So my theory (and it is mine! copyright Anne Elk (miss)) of too many machines was not 100 % correct.

Come on team, we can whoop this Southern Shrubbing Man!

eon is either

a) a very, very long time.

b) (Gnosticism) a divine power or nature emanating from the Supreme Being and playing various roles in the operation of the universe
or
c) a distributed computing project at http://eon.ices.utexas.edu/eon2/

Shall we go with c? #ni-1

Seeing as how the project is run by the University of Texas in Austin you would think they would have the highest score, but they are ranked 48th in overall credit while we are ranked 16th

Is this project stable enough to add to the PotM ballot? Already ran out of work once this month?
