Hi folks, back for a while ...

First: A Big THANKS for all the stats - you are just doing great! And the numbers are looking just awesome!

I am sorry for dropping out so quickly and without a message. There are many reasons for that: A wave of a tremendous work load (have pushed some 65 - 80 hours a week plus on-call duty. Then my ISP's connection to our home was very flaky - when ever I came home the connection broke - it worked for some 30 minutes every 6 - 7 hours for some 3 weeks. Just good enough to keep my computers fed and the results uploading. No gaming (my kids just went nuts - they hade planned for a few tournaments and LAN-parties). Also my wife lost her job some 2 months ago, and I was the sole provider ... and the main comforter. Just some days ago she got a new job - better paying, better work mates, better in every way. But being jobless takes a lot out of the pre-existing harmony at home. Of course I could have posted a message or two - but the load was just to heavy and I focused on the problems at hand. I just switched most of the comps to POEM and then I let them run. Did no baby-sitting unless a comp went down, which did happen only 2 or 3 times.
Now all seems well, but I am bone tired and long for a vacation, which I'll start in 5 days.
I will be less active on the boards than I was in December-February. But I'll be around now and then. No stats though - at least not yet.

So, now all the spelling errors are back ;)

Glad to hear things are going better. Losing a job is horrible--I never want to go through that again. And yay vacation!! :beer:

Good to have you back Peter!

It must have been difficult for you and your family, but it sounds like the job situation has worked out for the best.:)

Good job! And glad to hear things are turning out ok.


Also, I assume ufluids will be the next project? I started moving my machines over since they've got a day or two worth of Poem credit buildup. Once all of TAS is on ufluids we'll almost double the total project rac! :beer:

On another note I got the OK from my boss to add some work computers. I'm getting to add 24 3.0GHz Pentium-D machines. That should increase my output some! :shocked: Although I'm looking for a new job that pays a little better and have an interview tomorrow morning, so my increased PPD may end up short lived.

Wow only 4k difference. Thats quite amazing. A .19% difference in credit for the month. (I think thats right, fractions are hard, rather than using fingers I've got to cut pieces off)
