Is everyone else running open please?

I have not seen @scole of TSBT move much recently so I suspect he may also be holding back as well. Early on I was thinking we were fairly evenly matched but he has fallen 4M behind me in the past 2-3 days.

[Megacruncher]

Yup, I got the memo about the sub-projects. But I hadn't realised the extreme length of the WUs. I'll get at least 2 done. Maybe even a third!
Soz!

[Gibson Praise]

Heh! Two of my pending DYFL wu have davidBAM as wingman. I guess I know when they are going to validate!

[davidbam]

Happy to oblige

[scole of TSBT]

I'm running open. I moved some CPUs to WCG so I've slowed down a little.

[davidbam]

All on course for a 37M drop by about 0700 UTC tomorrow

[davidbam]

running open on the 1080ti as it wouldn't have finished another Do You Feel Lucky. Just went straight for Genefer 21 as that looks to be heading for about 9.5 hours

That figures! I've been hitting it with everything I've got trying to catch up to you and then I find out I'm picking on a cripple

I'm really having a hard time deciding what I want to do. 4.5M more and I'd get my 1st 20M CPU badge on PG ... I'd have to run it to the end. But I really want to start moving back to Gerasim to finish our goals on FB. Decisions, decisions

[davidbam]

Easy enough surely - finish your PG badge next year

[Bryan]

I guess that is an easy decision then. Or don't finish would work too Since my output won't change our final standings then I'll start moving the CPUs back to Gerasim today.

sending hugs

[davidbam]

woke early

Dumped 18M, 6th place on next update. Another 18M will follow over the next few hours. Running open on Genefer 21 thereafter

[Gibson Praise]

I eagerly await the update .. should be my emerald badge!

edit: gotta wait for the second drop ..

[Gibson Praise]

Yup, sixth place, by 8M ( and more to come! )

Gregg is 9th, in a battle for 8th and 10th ( and maybe 7th and 6th )

[davidbam]

first few GPUs falling silent now. The way it has worked is that they'd have been about 30mins short of completing a Genefer 21 - the shortest WU in the challenge

[Bryan]

Finishing in 6th place on a PG project challenge is a fantastic effort!!

[davidbam]

yeah - I was thinking there are some "professional" PG teams in there
