October Musings

Still Split

It's a wee bit frustrating that as soon as we changed our name two of our projects, who had always been reliable in this respectstopped exporting their updates for the benefits of the combined Boinc Statistics sites. As a result TSBT (as we insiders like to refer to The Scottish Boinc Team) is still missing 511K credits from Predictor and 83K from LHC.

That aside the name change has gone swimmingly although the following progress will look a bit sluggish because of the temporarily mislaid 593K.

Total Active Members 196 (+1)
Recent Active Members 98 (+1)
Total Credit 17,104,672 (+649,060 =22.4 K/day )
Overall Boinc Place 73rd (-1 but would be +1 without the lost credits)

In fact we are tucking away about 43K per day which for the first time in a long time is significantly more than our rivals "Scotland". Hurrah.

Farm Expansion

Having deretired my XP 3000 I acquired a Mobile XP on ebay to let me make use of an old socket A board and other bits & pieces I have. As a result of this and the revaluing of the BBC trickles I'm managing to hover about 530th in boinc overall. It's tempting to consider how little extra it would take to make me a top 500 contender again. Hmmm... Conroe or cheaper AMD?

Nothing to do with Boinc

Last sunday I saw a red squirrel. This made me happy. Earlier in the day some arsehole broke into my car. This didn't. Funny that.
