(drum roll please) I get my first million Boinc credits. Unfortunately I won't be at home in the weekend. Well, I love to go out, especially to these friends, don't get me wrong. I just would like to see it, passing the 1.000.000 credits. I started on January 8 last year, crunched Seti until June, went away on a 6 weeks holiday in the USA. I brought my 8 year old laptop which stopped working because of overheating. Yes, overheating because of Seti. I know, I was warned, but hey I'm stubborn. Can't help it. Then on the last day of September I started again using my desktop. In early January of this year I also started Rosetta@home and one month later Einstein@home. Reason for this is the fact I didn't get anything to do. So I decided to join more projects to make sure I always would have some WU's to work on. I have no idea how fast I will have achieved the second million. I will keep you posted. And that my friends, is a promise. ______ DeMus ID: 876966 ·
