I don't think I can describe how excited I am about participating in this competition

I am calm and serene as I have adopted the Zen interpretation of these things and so I do not compete in pointless challenges, I am simply there.......

Bu**it, millenium hand and shrimp!

Whatever!

I've attached to the project. Thought I would see how I get on.

Standby for an exciting time Janos :bounce:
I don't think I can manage to adequately describe the incredible joy of watching the WU Prop progress bar slowly count along while your life continues as normal.
It's almost like there is nothing you can actually do to make WU Prop run any better or faster

...Set up more ODROIDs ?

Now that's an idea

Well, I've been excited since I spotted we were 4th of twelve. :)
You can actually influence your progress:
Rule #1: Run it on all your machines.
Rule #2: see above

WUprop itself is a useful project as it collates info on different projects, run times, points etc on a host computer. The units are monitoring the other units on the host it is running on. It gives out cool badges.
There is no way to make it run faster. More hosts is the only way to increase your score.
Go to your account on WUProp and you will see what I mean about total hours spent running etc.

I don't know what your all griping about, I'm in 1st and your all flubbered.

Is it my fault I have more hamsters on wheels here?

Get over it.



Happy New Year !!

Hear hear!
Just do it and accept the utterly random credits! :)

I'm not a huge fan of hamsters but I clearly need to get some!

I suppose these results show who has boxes and who has gpu's - I would really like more of both
