More sad news: My Work Fleet Dwindling...

[RaySun2Be]

had a conference call this afternoon with my boss in Chicago.

I had to give up my IBM Tualitin core PII850 laptop that averaged 5hr18minute WU times today.
An executive found out I had one.

I will be losing a PIII750 laptop this Friday.
New hire needed a laptop.

I will be losing Hoss, the IBM Netfinity server dual Xeon 700mhz 2mb cache that averaged 5hr17min WU times (each CPU) next Friday.
Sending to headquarters to be configured for disaster recovery. Once in production, I no longer can run SETI on it.

This totals about 16 WUs a day, half of what my work fleet puts out.

Just when the MTR starts ramping up too.

Sorry Team F.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Sorry to hear that, Ray. Even if your WU output dwindled to nothing, we would still want you on our TeAm, though.

 

[RigorousT]

sorry to hear Ray. Man that's a good chunk of WUs..

Some days are good, some days are bad. Nothing you can do
but ride it out and whack at more people to get them to fill up the
gap

[conjur]

At least they let you finish up the race.

:frown:

Sorry to hear that but I think a whap or two on that exec's head with that cane might shake some sense back...or render him unconscious for an undetermined amount of time!

 

[MoFunk]

What a bummer! Hate to see that.

Sorry to hear this, Ray!

This streak of bad going-ons doesn't seem to want to let UP :disgust:

Seems you'll have to build your own little coral if you want to ramp up your output!

The TeAm will still be quite happy with any production you can contribute!

 

[networkman]

/me checks to see if Ray is on E^5.. nope. Cool!

j/k.. sorry to hear about the loss.

 

[Poof]

Man... them's the breaks....

Oh well, at least they didn't go to waste while they were running!

 

[htmlmasterdave]

That sucks :frown:

 

[IndyJaws]

I'm sorry for your losses, Ray

 

[JWMiddleton]

<< ...An executive found out I had one >>


Sounds like a job for the Rowdy Ray and the Cane!

 

[Evadman]

Aw poopie. Taht sux0rs. Smak him a few times for me

 

[ICXRa]

Sorry to hear the bad news Ray

Hang in there!

 

[m2kewl]

Doh! Damn that sucks!

 

[BigFatCow]

im sorry to hear that Ray, but like ShotgunSteve said your a great guy and we will always want you on the team.

 

[Crazee]

Sorry to hear it Ray....sounds like its time to take out the platinum cane and start whacking people at the home office!

 

[Freewolf]

That sucks big time feel for you even if your team is beating ours

 

[aphoenixrises]

WOW! Trouble with employers in the air today, ok tell ya what....

HAND OVER THE CANE, NO WAIT JUST LET ME GET MY CAST IRON FRYING PAN ....
AND I'LL BEAT THE PISS OUT OF THEM ALL!!!!

convince him/her to run seti on it.

 

[Confused]

Sorry to hear that Ray.

I hope you get something sorted out soon.

Take care, and give those people a nice big *WHACK!* for me

[RaySun2Be]

Thanks! for all the support, I was bummed last night after losing the 8K race, then this news. But thanks to great teammates, I'm back up to speed this morning!

No can do. I only have permission to run SETI on non-production, non-user machines. Once they get into a person's hands, SETI has to come off.

 

[CraigRT]

Damn.. Sorry RAY, I hate losing fleet.. You can have some of the extra WU I have been putting out lately!

Well, I didn't mean it like that, I mean, the added WU I am putting out will cover the loss of yours.. no worries mate!

 

[Assimilator1]

Sorry to hear your fleets loses ,but at least you have some left.

Btw that Dual Xeon has excellent WU times for its clock speed! ,thanks to the big cache no doubt

 

[RaySun2Be]

Assim,
Yeah, that 2mb cache really helps.

And, I will lose Hoss Monday instead of Friday.

Thanks for the support mates!
