There's more than this, take a look - http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=boinc_status
And it isn't Free-DC; I can't access DNETC@home or WCG, which is are both projects reported to be down. What is up with this? WCG is down.... and so much more! Half the BOINC projects, by the looks of it!

I got to WCG fine. Don't know about other projects.

What is that page supposed to represent? The actual status of the projects? Because I saw it report incorrectly once a year or 2 ago. Never really look at that page.

Well, as of my post WCG was down, but it is no longer. The page just tells which project's servers are up or down.

Yeah, I wouldn't rely on that. Like I said, I used it a long time ago and it was definitely wrong. Not sure how they determine whether a site is up or down. If Bok never fixed it, I'm guessing it doesn't get much traffic.

Alright, thanks for the advice.

Sold my i7 920 and plan to sell off the remaining parts of that cruncher. Means my output will be down indefinitely.

I could spend the money on another cruncher but I think at this point in time I'd rather save money for uncertain times ahead and perhaps some airy clothes to have a less sticky summer.

@KieX There is more to life than just putting more cores to the fight. I myself think that this will be my last rig for some time. Unlike you I just can't bring myself to sell anything. :banghead:

For sure, this year I've got travelling in mind, will have quite a few long-weekend trips around Europe and visit a few distant friends possibly. Lots of cultural and social things to enrich one's mind. I've travelled when younger with friends but this is the first time I'll venture out on my own to do things I'd wanted to do but was too afraid to try. Like you said though, if I kept spending on crunchers wouldn't be able to do that, good advice :toast:

As for the unwillingness to sell things trust me I know what you mean. I have to thank (FIH)The Don entirely for overcoming that. He got me into this "sell old stuff to part-fund new ones" mentality. I wouldn't be able to have the farm I have now without that.

sry guys I have been off line for the last 5 days. Damn DSL service :banghead:

They had to come out and run new phone lines in the house.

Back up and running :rockout:

My HP 5600 X2 is no longer crunching. Power bill went up 67%. I think I found a new home for the old girl and in exchange for the rig and everything they said it will keep crunching.

That was a nice thing to do. But you could consider getting a kill-a-watt meter to see what your real usage is. I think they have the base model on the egg for $15-20. A very worthwhile investment.
