My host hit an RAC of 45,081 on the Top Computers list today. It processed 4,000,000 credits along the way. Old Sarge is now living the dream of every workhorse: Out to pasture! I'll let it run as is, no more surgery or transplants for this loyal machine. Some personal trivia... This computer project started last year when I needed more power for Photoshop. As is typical for many of us here, building a better computer became a 'reason unto itself', while my Photoshopping drags along on an older computer. v.Sarge1 was named for my dad. He was a popular 1st Sergeant in World War II. He also designed a cool little ice making machine that was installed on nuclear submarines. Ten-Hut, Soldier! I imagine him peeking down from heaven saying "Do you really need all those blue LED lights inside that thing?" Bob Mahoney |

Come on Bob, tell us more about your pop! I dig war hero details. You should get a snack. This is going to be a severely long story. :> Bob Opinion stated as fact? Who, me? |

Passed 1,000,000 today, took almost 10 years to get there though! Greetings Rob, BOINC/SETI has only been public since 04, prior to that was Classic SETI. Classic SETI WUs do not translate into BOINC credits. So, it only took you half that time, 5 years, to get to the 1 mil mark. Congratulations! Just think about how the computer will evolve over the next 5 years. Might only take you 2.5 years to get to your next mil. :) Keep on BOINCing....!!!!

Let's see here... For my 10th year running SETI: I have accomplished much. In SETI Classic I managed 80,703 WU's for a total of 649,624 hours CPU time. With SETI for BOINC, I have 50,000,000 points with an RAC of 355,000 and currently the top cruncher in the #1 spot. I have 1 machine in the #4 position with 28,300 RAC, 2 machines in the top 20, and 12 more in the top 100. The team I am on is #10 and climbing. Assuming it costs me an average of $100 a month to keep these machines powered, I have donated approximately $12,000 (100(10*12)) in utility costs to this project alone. I'm sure it's more than this but I am being conservative. I have managed to donate $100 directly to UCB. Thus the green star. It has been an awesome run so far and I look forward to many more years with SETI. I want to thank Dr. A, Rom, Matt and everyone else at UCB/S@H/BOINC for making this all possible and giving me something to occupy my downtime and interest. I also want to thank KWSN and the Lunatics developers for all they have contributed to the project. Without their hard work on the opt apps, I wouldn't have gotten this far this fast. Thanks everyone! Rob ![]() |

He is up to a RAC of 369 000 now. I said it before and I say it again: Rob has been doing a Barry Bonds and doping his machines. :p On a personal note: finally broke 500k credit at SETI. Yay, me!
