It almost doesn't seem fair. It's too bad none of our close competitors in the daily ranking could have joined. That would have made it a lot more fun I think.

Great work Team!!! :toast:

We will our work cut out for us on the WCG 10th Birthday challenge that SETI.Germany is hosting (starts 11/16) so we can consider this one a warm up.

If we don't go all out for that one we will be somewhere else in the ranking looking up at the top ranking(s). :twitch:

I've got a secret weapon that will be ready for that one though! :pimp:

Something like this maybe?

We could probably double WCG's total points and clear out ever project in a couple weeks. {drool}

Probably closer to this:

and a few more centuries longer than two weeks to finish a project with it....

Oh come on. Take a break man. Really. Think how relaxed you'll be without another rig to check on and worry about.

And before you accuse me of just trying to keep you from always getting lime pie, I want you to know that my main concern is your physical and emotional wellbeing and not what sort of pie I get. Running so many rigs is just soooo stressful. Seriously dude, you'll thank me in the long run. :fear:

Damn you are always so right. I think I am going to shut all my rigs down except the x6. My stress level will be so much better and I can stop gaining weight from all the pie that seems to be forced down my throat everyday. Hell I don't even like lime. :laugh:

Also all these rigs are just testing spare parts for my main rig. Need to make sure I can continue to game if something breaks LOL

So apparently there's a challenge going on right now....as it turns out, I just fixed my FX8350 system yesterday, so it's back online again :lovetpu:

It was my way of expressing my excitement in little girl terms over what you posted, about being back in forum action and during the challenge, and recently having added an fx rig.

Sorry, my posts have become silly lately :laugh:

No worries, I'm just tired right now and confused

The FX rig isn't recent, as such, it was actually acquired last summer. But I was running it OCed on a 300w PSU (bad idea, it turns out) and the PSU blew out earlier this fall. I just replaced it with a 500w one from a dual-CPU HP workstation and it working once more.

The new addition is my HP Z400, which is currently running w/ a rather underwhelming dual-core Nehalem CPU. But I have a 6c Westmere Xeon on the way that should be much better

I thought it was pretty funny, but considering who's saying that, you might want to start worrying about your sanity. :oops:

WiFi adapter came in (Amazon & USPS Sunday Delivery O_O!), dumped the first 36hrs worth of WUs from the AMD setup. Only ~30WUs or so, but still a nice upload. Ralink chipset in the adapter is working EXCELLENT in Linux for anyone else looking for a Linux adapter- stick to Ralink based units.

This is very good info, thanks @theonedub. :respect:

I need to add in a wifi on my Linux rig to get rig of my ethernet cable stretched out and taped across the floor

Useful to know, thanks! I currently have all my Linux setups via Ethernet, but not a permanent solution...

Well, it didn't look like the deer we have here in NC--a lot bigger. And Wikipedia says that moose are in the deer family, so I'm partially right.
