We scored 81,144 as a team yesterday. That's 13K better than our previous best day. :D

Our average over the past five days is 65K, and that's including a "low" of 47.6K on Sunday. :)

I just ordered my second AMD Phenom 9850BE, mobo, and memory to upgrade another box. Should be up by the end of next week.

The Stimulus Payment got me stimulated!

I wouldn't normally pick ABC as a "primary" project but I do have to admit that their marketing scheme giving out way too many points is an attractive draw for the people that are just running BOINC for the stats. Assuming that I can maintain at least 10K per day (I should be able to average close to 12K) I'm heading for a 300K month, which is something I've never done before, mostly because the projects with the science I prefer tend to give out less points than most others.. :p

Why? What happened?

Bummer.:(

Check the last post of the TAS welcome thread where he introduced himself.

Yeah, I see now. He did have over 4 mill boinc creds. 5X what I have.

My title should definitely be changed to "noob" or maybe "ultra noob"!

I should hit 1 mill total by the end of the month but I'm sure to get an asterisk next to the total 'cause i crunched ABC@home![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Oh well, Roger Maris was a boyhood idol of mine so if an asterisk was good enough for him, it's good enough for me!:p

Congrats, Alyx! Well done, and all that ... ;) :D

Somewhat OT:
My main working comp has crashed - will not even boot. Either PSU or CPU-problem. OTOH: it is a socket A Thunderbird 1900+ and has done a lot of work 24/7 since it started some 6 or more years ago.

I will fix it today (I have always a spare mobo, CPU, RAM, graphics card, HDD and DVD-drive at home - you never know when something happens).

I´ll try to get the stats done later today - probably late at night. TG I have BMC's file on the mail server and can use it. But my stats-scripts are on the RAID5 system of the main rig :(, so I need it to work unless I'll do it all manually.
