They are renowned for it ... and eating straw hats.... But, occasionally they are renown for becoming Billy Goat Gruff! It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Greetings, Behold! You are now looking at SETI's newest millionaire! I reached that milestone about 10 minutes ago. :D <--- WOOHOO!!! Check it out. It took me just under 6 years to do it and many, many computer builds since. BTW, in 5 days I will be celebrating the start of my 12th year here at SETI. 11 years on the 23rd. Woohoo! :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Greetings, Lots to congratulate you on there Siran! It will be a while before I can reach such heady heights of boincing. Reality Internet Personality |

Greetings, Thanks guys! :) It just takes some dedication to the cause, I guess. I have crunched for several other BOINC projects, off and on, but I have always crunched for SETI and always will. Despite the many problems SETI has, I will always be here. :) Thanks again! :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

You are welcome, Siran!...I plan to join you at 1 million in 280 days or so. Greetings Dan, If you got that "280 days" value from BOINCstats, it is not realistic. I recently found out that BOINCstats reads what your RAC is from the update it gets. It then does some sort of calculations on it to reduce your REAL RAC and that is what BOINCstats says your real RAC is. No! I don't think so! If they get the stats update from SETI and it says my RAC is 2000, my RAC is 2000, not 1475 or some arbitrary number BOINCstats THINKS it is. If I were to go by what BOINCstats prediction was for my milestone, I would still be waiting. Last time I checked, they said I would not reach 1M until tomorrow. HAHA! Fooled them! Proved them WRONG! :D Dan, I suspect that you will be reaching 1M much sooner than 280 days. One last thing, BOINCstats lists what your real RAC was at the time of last update, plus their fictitious RAC. They predict from their fictitious RAC. Which reminds me, I still need to change all my stats images for our team projects on the website... Yes, I'm dumping BOINCstats. :) @Monday: Thanks! :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

Greetings, Just so's you know: Credit per SETI account: 1,006,309 Credit per BOINCstats..: 1,001,320 (from last update) RAC per SETI account: 3426 RAC per BOINCstats..: 3209 (from last update) RAC per BOINCstats..: 1597 (what BOINCstats says my REAL RAC is) I fail to see the logic behind their "calculated" RAC value and calling it REAL. It is NOT real. They also predict that I won't reach 1,006,309 until sometime Friday. Bah hahahahahaha! Already got there! :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

You are welcome, Siran!...I plan to join you at 1 million in 280 days or so. That was an "on the fly" wild guess...I was too rushed this morning to go to BOINCstats for their projection... Any projection like that cannot take into account variables that could occur such as project downtime...computer downtime or a change in crunching priorities... PROUD TO BE TFFE! |

You are welcome, Siran!...I plan to join you at 1 million in 280 days or so. Oh, ok. My bad. :( Any projection like that cannot take into account variables that could occur such as project downtime...computer downtime or a change in crunching priorities... You got that right. But, I say that the REAL values should be used anyway, not some arbitrarily calculated, deflated value such as that which BOINCstats uses.
