Odd. I only started the first one about a day ago, the second I've got about 30K in the last month. I thought that @GLeeM had a RAC going

It seems there are two completely different Latin Squares projects this year:

There are three completely different Latin Squares projects this year. I brought the two already mentioned to 100K Milestone.
The third, Rakesearch, pays 5X to 8X better and I have the TeAm at #15 FB (It is currently my 3rd or 4th priority CPU project, trying to get TN-Grid and Drug Discovery to 1M Milestone ... uhgg).

I started to read the rakesearch forum.
They've got an optimized app:

I'll be in much more this year compared to 2017. However, I've not yet decided on strategy. I think we should discuss that somewhere else ... ;)

Since most crunchers seem inclined to go their own ways, we should get a TACH to handle the strategic planning. "What is a TACH?" you ask. It's a TeAm AnandTech Cat Herder.

How the h*** did you get new gifs!!!

Ah, Sherv.net....hrmmmm.....you gotta download a whole pack of them, or what?

No, I just find the one I want and copy and paste the code. And I am special lol

Although it would be nice if there was more of a selection of gifs, emojis or whatever the things are called. ;)

Is this the part where everyone starts chanting?
Ruuuuuudy! Ruuuuuuudy! Ruuuuuuuudy! He's our man! if he can't herd nobody cannnnnnnn!! Ruuuuudy! Ruuuuudy! Goooooooooooooooooo Rudy!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Managing multiple resources is an NP-Problem, so best guesses are usually the way to go. I'm having RL issues and must decline.

Quite the adrenaline rush when a project is about to run out of tasks almost faster than you can type an app_config! :fearscream: :grin:

Setting my hosts to no new tasks so they will idle down on prep for the first FB race this week.

Two of the projects that have not yet reached "2,000,000 credits quota" for Marathon points to be given now have tasks: Sztaki and CAS.
I have gotten the unpopular CAS to sixth place (by 1 point) with my 3,958 points!

If you can get enough work to place in the top 3, there is a good chance your team can squat on those FB points the rest of the year due to the project (CAS) being notorious for only having work available a few times a year.
