Race for TSBT's first WUProp lime star

[Alez]

(Any loaner systems found on your account and you'll be keelhauled! :pirate: )

Killjoy!!

That spoils my week!

Precisely! That's why I added the "Bryan Clause"

Think you need to go back on the meds ..... conspiracies everywhere .....

[utopia-i]

I don't have a 1 star badge, focusing on a couple of projects at a time- who would like or even want or need my hours, if possible. First come first served

[scole of TSBT]

To earn WUProp hours for someone else, you'd have to attach to a project as the other person. Some of the others might take you up on that but Alez and I are keeping it a legit race. Right Alez...

[Alez]

T. Right Alez...

Your prize is a very generous offer, but given the time of year may I suggest an alternative. For the two of us it's a £20 / $25 buy in and the winner gets to nominate a charity of their choice for the buy in to be donated to. ( obviously if the charity choosen is not acceptable for some reason then an alternative will be decided. )
My choice would be Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund

[Alez]

Well that's nearly everything previously shut down back in operation. Thanks to scole my electricity bill is shooting up as we speak
Have yet another 7970 that works perfectly as a display adaptor, watching videos etc but can't crunch That's 2 so far, guess ebay as spares / repair unless anyone here want's them.
Back to linux updates and VM's for me..... got to keep those hours a flowing

[Alez]

Looks like a worthy cause to me. Think this is a better deal than buying each other xmas presents
I'd forgotten what it sounded like when everything is whining ....... :bom:

[Dirk Broer]

Dirk, you could make it an interesting 4 way race. Which Amazon service ships to Leiden?

They all do! I've ordered in the past with Amazon.com, Amazon.co.UK and Amazon.fr and i've been tempted to do so with Amazon.ca, Amazon.de and Amazon.jp. Even have had a slight argument with a US publisher (PYR) that thought that they only served the US market -while I have some 30-40 odd books from them, which i could have bought on Amazon.com -but I didn't, I bought them in the Netherlands, in a Ramsj (Remaindered book) sale.

BTW: there's even a Amazon.nl nowadays...

Is there no end to this technology madness ....... it will all end in tears :bootyshake:

[Alez]

Guess we are both chasing WCG hours .... I'm sure the team graph on our stats site is edging upwards

[utopia-i]

:bounce: Did someone say WCG ? :bounce:

[scole of TSBT]

I have a couple WCG apps to get 25,000 hours on and apparently so does Alez. Too bad WCG credit is so dreadful. We're 1.2 mil away from 192nd, which is a long way based on how it pays.

[Alez]

With the amount of hours we're pouring in and being so far down the team list you really would think that we would move up a place or two. It's just depressing.

[Alez]

Ting !!! another project goes lime

[Alez]

Ting !!!! another one bites the dust ....
Look at the team stats on how much we have bent the graph upwards on WCG and yet the credit ?

[scole of TSBT]

I'm still plugging away. WCG CEP2 is close. Will focus be focusing on UGM and MCM next. How about showing your app details and computers on WUProp?

Bryan, your WUProp credit has tanked over the past couple of days

MCM and OET pour moi ...Don't spoil my fun , I'm enjoying being international man of mystery although I am following your rules as set scrupulously
I will say I am very disappointed that Denis is not playing ball would make things a lot easier

[Alez]

Bryan, your WUProp credit has tanked over the past couple of days

I would like to hope you are not suggesting any impropriety here .... after all you did specify no loaner systems allowed

[Bryan]

Thanks for the heads up Steve! I'll have to check on that .... operating remotely can cause all kinds of problems ya know

[Dirk Broer]

Still working on the "Big push" approach, which was so brilliantly described in 'Blackadder goes forth'

[Alez]

World Community Grid----Outsmart Ebola Together----24,974.87
and 160,215 points for 25K hours , really ???
1 more update , so close

[scole of TSBT]

Congratulations Alez. You have earned that lime star first. Well done. :) And am I glad this is over! It was like watching grass grow. Not a total loss. I have 17 apps in lime, 18th is close. Still in reach. Will just have to wait a bit longer.

On to the Rosetta challenge!

Oh, just one little formality. If you would be a good chap and display your computers and app details. I'd like to see where I miscalculated this so badly!

[Alez]

Done, as the winner of what I hope might become a yearly TSBT christmas charity challenge, I get to pick the winning charity. I choose scoles choice of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. My donation has been sent. Anyone else who wants to contribute, either send direct via paypal or contact scole via pm and he will send the donation as a combined amount.
Oh, yeah me

[scole of TSBT]

TSBT donated $100 to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Their mission...
"The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay."

Thank you

@Caroline882 Welcome to the TSBT forum. Tell us a little about yourself. What projects do you crunch?

The URL it tried to insert into the quote of mine ( now deleted ) tells me everything I need to know. Account will probably be nuked.

[scole of TSBT]

Account will probably be nuked.

It's the only way to be sure
