    Hi TeAm!

    You all popped into my head today. Stop that! ;) Just thought I'd stop by and say hello. Not doing any DC at the moment. Would like to get back to it at some point with some shiny new hardware. cheers, -jim

    Miss me?

    The switch of BBS software would never let me on as I lagged, so caferace is now just me, jimrace. I trust you've all been misbehaving... :sneaky: -jim

    The TeAm is about to slip back to 15th overall

    That being said the Cows are sneaking up as well, though not nearly as quickly. Dastardly cows. :laugh: http://boincstats.com/stats/bo...m_stats.php?pr=bo&st=0 -jim

    Lunar eclipse going on right NOW.

    About 2/3 covered, it is nicely visible here in California and if clouds aren't an issue should be a great view from the rest of the 'States for a few hours. Last one for a couple of years, so... Go OUTSIDE and look East. :) Eclipse...

    AllProjectStats.com

    I saw a new (again, to me :)) Stats sight this evening. Some cool sorting stuff, pretty decent interface and quite quick. http://www.allprojectstats.com...rojekt=0&id=119576&o=2 What did surprise me though, was that the TeAm only holds the #1 spot (recently attained) in only ONE BOINC...

    Enigma@Home News

    w00t! Nicely done, TeAmmates! At this pace, we may take the top spot by the end of the month, unless L'Alliance Francophone mobilizes their team. They have 4x as many members, so... Keep crunchin! :thumbsup: http://stats.free-dc.org/new/projpage.php?proj=eni -jim

    Enigma@Home appears to be temporarilily borked...

    Too bad, as the TeAm is leading bigtime in RAC, and 3rd spot is coming up fast followed closely (hopefully) by the top spot. I uploaded a fair amount of WU's for some hours before it gasped its last. Hopefully, it will recover soon and give us credit. There are a few of us old/young guard...

    Interesting developments in DC / DThinking - v .09b

    First up, the Economist article which is broad ranging, but also discuses BOSSA (Berkeley Open System for Skill Aggregation) to some extent: ref: http://www.economist.com/print....cfm?story_id=10202635 And then, BOSSA itself: ref: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/BossaIntro -jim

    New (to me) Stats Site

    I hadn't see this site before recently, but I really dig its layout and graphs. Examples: TA for SETI: http://statsnstones.tswb.org/T...=4&teamid=30191&page=0 TA for moi: http://statsnstones.tswb.org/u...9b653e42c74a95d54cc27d Pretty cool, though sometimes page loads take a few...

    The Trojan Man

    from: http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=5314 This cruncher was WAY up in the stats, and crunched many of the same projects we do. I noticed this afternoon that many of the projects have removed all of this persons credits. Conveniently, that moved me (and most...

    Giving back to the DC community

    I've been thinking about a couple of things: 1) We start our own project. Setting up a BOINC system is pretty easy from a infrastructure standpoint. Finding the right science cause is more difficult. Manning it with volunteers and hardware is difficult, especially if it becomes popular. 2)...

    Is Ready Response dead?

    Both: http://www.readyresponse.org/ (the DC side) http://www.red-library.com/ (the search engine filter side) Have been dead for a week or so. Or at least they have for me. Anyone heard anything? I've already stopped the clients, as they were erroring out... -jim

    A Year goes by Fast...

    It's hard to tell, but I think it is nearly exact to a year ago I "actively joined" TA. Granted, I read Anandtech articles and poked about, but I wasn't seriously crunching at time. The only thing I think I had running was DIMES on a bunch of boxes, and had joined TA just 'cuz the other UID's...

    Crunch Harder, Faster, Longer!

    TA is currently only ~150k short of overtaking KWSN for 9th in the World! http://www.boincsynergy.com/stats/boinc-teams.php A big push by all TA crunchers could loft us up another spot before then end of the month, but we'd also have to hold it. C'mon. Turn up your A/C and let those...

    OT: How did I end up as an "Old Man" on TA?

    http://stats.kwsn.net/team.php?proj=all&teamid=1650 The funny thing is, I just poked at SETI Classic back then, and while I had a "monster" PIII 733Mhz it was too loud running, so I shut it off after a few days. That makes me feel old. :shocked: -jim

    New DC Project - ANA Spoofer

    Sounds pretty interesting. From: http://spoofer.csail.mit.edu/ "Our methodology is simple. We make software to test spoofing publicly available and ask the community to run it from as many sites as possible. The spoofer program attempts to send a series of spoofed UDP packets to a server...

    OT: teamanandtech.net defaced

    So, while it appears the forums have not been hit the front page has definitely been compromised. Visting there with Firefox 1.5.01 kills it. Odds are visiting the page with MSIE would do worse, so my suggestion is don't. Assume your data there is compromised, unless otherwise notified. I've...

    E@H Randomly Timed Stats

    With the new executables, production is going through the roof! Just today, networkman has already collected a massive 10,000 credits. That's in ONE day. And a day late or so, ryokum passed the 500,000 mark. We're quiet, but we're crunchy. -jim Info on the new executables

    ...then what is the logical order of things to check? Symptoms of Doom: Running along fine, temps in normal range. Video blanks out, followed by intermittent beeps every 3 seconds or so. Beeps last ~1.5 secs, and repeat endlessly. System hardware is stock from AW. No recent installs of any...

    Primary Cruncher temporarily dead.

    So I'm hanging out this eve, ready to play a few rounds of BF2 and the lovely Alienware 7500 with the screaming FX-55 shows a black screen and starts beeping every 5 seconds. Oh dear. It wouldn't have been my first choice of boxes, but when the missus surprises you with a new computer it's...

    Clinging onto a slim lead over the bastiches at Hard|OCP, we're doomed to fall out of the top 10 shortly. Such is life, in the small world of 'Net mapping. Yes, it's a mere pittance, and some people find Java annoying. Get over it. Come help, and at least help us escape the clutches of the...

    DIMES Stats - 6/18/2005

    It's been a while since these were posted (5/18), and the team is still pounding away. The project, as "fluffy" as it may seem is a nice pairing if you're also working on something else. Where most DC projects beat the crap out of the processor, DIMES just uses a small amount of RAM and...
