Sometime in the next few hours -- probably by tomorrow morning -- I should produce my 2000th WU.

After that, I'll be knocking at the door of the top 100 on TA.

Congrats to your milestone! :) On a side note, I am very interested in your fleet. You are among the top crunchers in terms of daily average (>100 per day) over the past 2 weeks!

Thanks for all the encouragement.

DarkMajiq -- thanks for pointing that out. I just checked this mornings stats. I'm at 98.08%.

And crossed the 2000 mark some time in the night. I'm at 2011!

As for the fleet:

The home fleet is modest enough:

P3 450@567 Mhz
P3 800@906 Mhz
Dual Celeron 333@540
Tbird 1.4@1.55

What really racks up the WU's is a fleet of 40+ P3 866's in two computer labs at school. And there's a few more of those -- 8 to 10 -- that I just haven't gotten to yet. Not to mention the possibility of assimilating 40-50 older P3 350's and 550's.

Congrats! :D

Those work/school computers aren't 24/7 are they? You should have much higher output if they are.. (not that I'm complaining about 100 WU/day ;))

I try to keep them up 24/7. But I face a variety of issues in getting good s@h wu production out of them. A lot of students don't seem to know how to "log off" when they are done; they shut them down. I'm going to prepare a memo for the instructors about this -- not just to improve the s@h wu output, but because it inconveniences the next student that has to wait through a lengthy NT bootup to use the machine. They also dual boot into Win98, and I don't have s@h installed on the Win98. But the students are not supposed to be using Win98 normally. Too many are, and I need to address that with some lab policies also. Finally, the hard drives are removable, and get taken out during some classes during the day when students use hard drives that are issued them specifically; so I'm not getting any s@h wu production during those times.

Ah. You should also install SETI on the Win98 partition. :) Just run SETILog with the /h switch and stick a shortcut in the StartUp folder and they'll never see it. :D
