Everyone's favourite subject is supposedly themselves. I guess I'm no different. Oh yeah, I'm a 28 yr old big kid.
I am currently a bum, posing as normal. Of late I've become obsessed in posting at Overclockers Australia and Arstechnica. My immediate goal is to crunch 500Wu's. I'm getting there. I remember when I first started, how happy I was to make that first landmark. Crunching my first Wu, reaching double figures, 50Wu's, I still get the rush when achieving the goal I have set myself. In my quest, to achieve these landmarks quicker, I added an Abit Bp6 2X466 cellies to my existing PIII600 cruncher. I have a P2B-D that I want to bring online, but damn intel prices for 2X PIII850/100 have not budged. Maybe I should buy an AMD 1.5Ghz Palomino?
Other interests include 7 plys of goodness. I like to go skating. Getting older so it isn't my primary interest. Still love it though. Blind video, Plan B questionable and any 101 video are still my fave vids to watch. For any skaters out there, check out the new workshop vid. Dill is the style man. Tim O'conner has the mad shifty.
update:
Exceeded 500Wu's. Production drop due to climate in Darwin this time of year. Overclocked the cellies on BP6 (466@546)to compensate for downtimes, Sold the P2B-D, bought some highend SCSI gear.(Thanks Upaboveit) Plan on buying a dual MPX motherboard. The internal competition within Overclockers Australia is intense. Check out the forums. We're also the No1 folding team though [H]looks very menacing, Bollocks has their measure. heheh.
Anyway back to running green.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. When you realise how vast our solar system is, then realise there are billions of such solar systems, you have to think, just maybe there is life outside of our own solar system.
2. We've been transmitting information since the invention of the radio. No directed "beacon" is necessary. If they're of sufficient technological skill, then no doubt one of our stray broadcasts will reach them.
3. No altruistic reasons. I became aware of Seti, due to a cheating incident at Arstechnica. I read the forum thread, and became sufficiently interested to download seti. I setup an account for Overclockers Australia. Secretly I hope that one of my Wus' is the "one". Then I will be famous, and chicks will dig me. heheh. With over 3 million members, and newer distibuted clients that are out, such as folding@home, Genome@home, I feel that the Seti hey day is over. People will most probably migrate their spare cpu cycles to other client seen as having more immediate affect on how we live.
Suggestions. Forget the screensaver and GUI. Run it as CLI with Seti Driver or Seti Queue. Drop times, do Wu's faster. Thats my advice ladies and gents. Checkout masters of the Distributed - Arstechnica, Hardocp DC forums. My times are SuXors but with the cheap abundance of MHz, these will drop even more.
I crunch Wu's for Overclockers Australia.
