What do you mean, "Who Cares?" :-) Congratulations William. I'm aiming for 250k at the moment, should get there in a week or two. I'd be happy if I can get to NEZ's RAC, let alone his total :-) It all helps the project thats the main thing and to have fun getting there. BOINC blog ID: 733139 ·

What do you mean, "Who Cares?" :-) Congratulations with your milestones. Okay, 36 is not a special age but still. I hope to turn 50 soon and by that time hope to have 250.000, but I'm not sure I will make it. It means 2 more months, minus one week, for 100.000 credits. The minus one week is caused by the computer which has to go back to the shop for repair. It's still working but makes a terrible noise, caused by the processor. It makes a crispy kind of noise whenever it has to do something:"you can hear what the processor is doing." Congrats again and have a nice day. ______ DeMus ID: 733224 ·

I just joined it myself... Congrats to you both. I dont think it matters if it takes you 4 days from your crunching farm, or a year from your old pentium 3 to get 100K credits, the journey is what matters. Next comes 200K, and then more :) ID: 733529 ·

If it is a 'crispy' noise, like electricity, I would detach and power that thing down right now. No need to burn up the house for a few credits... Clk2HlpSetiCty:::PayIt4ward ID: 733558 ·

If it is a 'crispy' noise, like electricity, I would detach and power that thing down right now. No need to burn up the house for a few credits... I once heard "that" noise coming from a blank wall in a commercial kitchen where the staff had complained that the light could not be switched off. The employed handyman had said that it was "nothing to worry about". When I investigated, the insulation on the cable to the switch about 20cm below the noise had given way and the metal trunking (not earthed!!) buried in the wall plaster was shorting the switch. The noise was the arcing and more insulation burning away. That was the day before a holiday weekend and, because of the age of the establishment, no separate lighting circuit so all power to the kitchen had to be switched off until someone could come in to fix it - 3 days later. That was 3 days of feeding 100 people 3 meals a day without electricity - I was not popular (i.e. "shoot the messenger"). Good job we can smile now. F. ID: 733559 ·

It is about time as I have been a Seti@home member since 1999. I did however make 2 trips to jail and 1 trip to prison, so I have a reason for the slowdown. Next stop after my legal issues are finished, is to move to the Coos Bay, Oregon area. I am finished with California!!! The Catman is Back ID: 750624 ·
