Your personal milestones are whatever you define them to be. Personally, I don't track cobblestones as milestones - machines have just got so much faster over the years that I can now add a million in a few weeks whereas such a number would have been unthinkable when I first started crunching SETI. In about 45 minutes, I hit a milestone that does float my boat - 10 years since I first crunched Classic (though I did take a few years furlough in the middle and missed that actual change-over to Boinc.

F.

I luv the kibblestones...........
All 31 million of them and counting....
In a few weeks I will have been at it for 9 years.
I have risen to #31 in the WORLD for total Seti credits.......in about 6 days, that will be #30.
I am #4 in the SETI.USA team ranks for Seti....#117 in the world by RAC...
The Frozen Nehi still hangs on as the last non-server, non-cuda i7 in the top 20 computers on Seti...
And the Kitty City (Seti City), which I founded here, has risen to #13 in the USA.....

These are some things that float the kitties' boat....LOL.

Awesome stones Mark. I remember when we were not too far apart. During the last 3 years you have really been dowing some amazing things with that ice machine of yours. Me, 10 million for Seti.

I retired the Top Host that served so well for so long. It was a wonderful machine.

Check out my profile here for a picture of the computer, plus some technical data.

Bob

Congrats! That was an amazing host, and your next project seems very ambitious indeed!


Off topic, but is that the same ExecPC that started out as a BBS back in the 80s and 90s? ExecPC was one of my top favorite BBSes to dial into, and it always made me want to start my own BBS because it seemed so fun.

Yep, that ExecPC BBS.

Still available via Telnet at bbs.execpc.com

My good friend Curt Shambeau is still running it in his basement with an original Novell file server and 80386 hardware. Yes, 80386. He's going for the duration record. I birthed it in 1983, I left in 1998. We spanned the era from 110baud to broadband, Arpanet to Internet. Wow, what a trip.

Past employees are now re-forming the collective on Facebook.

Anecdotes? Oh my. Visits from the FBI (sometimes with concealed weapons) to ask me if I am illegally downloading HBO movies from satellites with "those dozens of 2400baud modems"...Death threats from users gone crazy...Employees and/or users coming together in marriage...The employee party where they drank no beer, just Mountain Dew, and slam-danced themselves dizzy (and someone made our company logo out of Spam)...The international file compression competition...The Million Caller Milestone competitions...We used up all of the phone lines in an entire industrial park before we went to fiber...And the intensity of working with 100 brilliant employees plus thousands of blazingly intelligent users (peaked at 85,000 active customers during my tour of duty), all for the same cause - to advance mankind's progress through new and better ways to share knowledge and information.

It was fun. The good people who run SETI@home and the loyal users of SETI@home are, for me, a wonderful deja vu of the experience of creating and running ExecPC. That is one of the biggest compliments I can give.

Thanks, OzzFan.

Hey Byron! Yeah, SETI@home is the ultimate test for any computer. The next one is going to get tortured just like the others. It will be fun.

Hey everybody with milestones - You found SETI@home, you found the forums, you found the Milestones thread, you experienced a personal milestone, and you posted it. Isn't that a milestone in itself? It took me 4 years before I stumbled over to the forums. Doh.

Bob

It took me 4 years before I stumbled over to the forums. Doh.

Bob

You're precocious! It took me almost 5.5 years...!

You think that is bad?? Note my join date to the left and then consider that I didn't find the forums (should that be fora?) until 741 days ago...

I'm only a few minutes away from passing the 500k mark.

Yeah, yeah, no big deal, but that's a lot of computing power, as I've only had one machine crunching at a time since 2001 with 5 year break in there.

And got past 5,000,000 for SETI alone...

2.5 MILLION Seti Credit.

2.5 MILLION Seti Credit.

Aye cap'n.....that's a nice mark indeed.
