** 2nd UPDATE **

Congrats to us - my group(GRRO) has just passed the 900,000 mark and we're into the home stretch and well before even April 31st! :shocked: :shocked:

This ramped up production has been due in some small part to my own insanity for adding still more computers to the project, and in large part to the recompiled science apps by a fellow user by name of akosf - a very talented programmer; his updated science apps, supported and encouraged by the project founders, have cut times to just 25% or less from what the "official" application is able to do. So a huge debt of gratitude goes out to akosf for making this increased production possible! :cool:

Okay, enough on that. I'll try and do this last hundred K as quick as I can!

** UPDATE **

The members of GRRO have really stepped up the production rate, such that we're now not only going to make our goal by June 31st, we'll be doing it well before the end of May!! :shocked: :D

One note of concern though for the E@H TeAm members is that once GRRO has reached its goal, we will need to shut down probably over 1/2 the fleet as it will simply become too warm to continue with all of the machines on the way they are now.

** Original post **

Looking at our stats the other day, the Grand Rapids Radio Observatory members decided that while production is very good right now, it can still be improved upon. ;)

And so, with that idea in mind, we have determined that we need to set a goal for ourselves. We therefore intend to cross the 1,000,000 mark by no later than June 30th, 2006. And that means we need to increase our production to at least 100,000 credits per month.

I have begun acquiring additional hardware to make this a reality. Wish us luck! :cool:

Wow, now that's some fighting spirit you've got there! Best luck to you! :thumbsup:

LOL, you talk about increasing by 100,000 while others don't even com close to 1,000 a month ;)

Petrusbroder wishes you and your collaborators a lot of good luck, good funding and a lot of new acquisitions for the New Year 2006! :)

Blast from the not-so-distant past! :Q :D

Here we are just one month later and just passing the half-way mark. Production is now over 100,000 per month to get us on target. :) And still a few more rigs to bring online. ;)

And yes, this is purely self-congratulatory so no need to bump it. I'll update again when we get to the 750k mark. :cool:
