Bah I think he is scared now that I am in the top 50. lol.
See you around if anything worth while for cpu cycles comes up ;)

Good crunching folks!!!!!

It does seem that many of the other old DC projects are falling by the wayside - Simap, Spinhenge, Docking, FreeHAL, Predictor, Tanpanku (those are just off the top of my head). I've crunched at other projects. I wanted to provide a way for MOT members to keep crunching with MOT even at other projects in the hope that would keep them engaged and from burning out. But, if I create a MOT instance at another project, it seemed like I should at least crunch there at least a bit. It seemed to help us for a while. I've looked at a lot of the other projects. The math ones never really did much for me. I guess finding some zillion-digit new prime number matters but I have a hard time seeing the benefit to us masses. I'm a bit of a history buff - more out of curiosity as much as anything - and once looked at Enigma myself. I guess decoding some encrypted Nazi war message can help fill in the picture of that time in some small way but, again for me, it just didn't seem like it would make a difference. I guess making that difference has come to matter a lot more to me now that I'm a full-fledged member of that growing survivors club. I always was a bit of a dreamer, an idealist. I can't help but believe that we humans are good, at least when push comes to shove. The family squabbles can be doozies but that's family for you. Yea, the lawlessness and rawness in New Orleans in the days immediately after Katrina were scary to watch on the news but then you read about the ordinary people gathering together to protect that diner in Ferguson and you take heart. As a species, we humans grow up ever so slowly but we do and that's what matters.

It's sad to watch the smartphones and tablets take over but technology marches on. Have the BOINC folks really tried to embrace that change? At least to some degree it would seem so but I really don't know enough to do anything more than speculate. Perhaps how that's progressed so far is more the responsibility of the various DC projects and not BOINC. I honestly don't know. For ten years plus now, I've tried to do what I could for WCG with my few machines. It's not been boring. In my ever so small way, I've helped find a new class of drugs for HIV, offered new hope to folks suffering from some diseases that I had never heard of, helped find a new drug candidiate for treating TB even though the project was about malaria, helped find new drug candidates for kids with neuroblastoma ( pediatric's answer to pancreatic cancer ) and more that I can't remember right now. In that ten years, WCG has not been perfect. That's what it gets for relying on humans. Yes, OET was most likely rushed out the door. The level of transparancy is not what many of us would like to see. The ability for us crunchers to communicate with each other is all but non-existent - yea, we have the forums with software gotten on the cheap in 2004. The role of CAs has seemed to have ridden off into the sunset. I found the total silence to my note seeking a little help trying to confirm the truth about Lawrence more than disappointing. Such is being human. As one of the ever growing multitude of ex-IBMers, I remember the best part of my days at IBM were the people. Yea, there was the occasional arrogant SoB and a rare control freak but I worked with folks all over the globe and I've rarely dealt with better. Still, IBM is its own worst enemy. It's made it Mephistophelean deal with Wall Street and worships every quarter at the alter of Earnings Per Share. For me though, none of that really matters that much. The world is not a perfect place and life was never intended to be fair. For me, I believe that what matters is what I do. So I crunch. In the end, it's the results that get returned that I choose to believe matter. The data is what makes the difference in the end. WCG isn't anywhere near perfect but it's what I have decided is the "best game in town". It gives me the biggest chance to do something that I hope will matter, will make a difference, and will let me face my own mortality beliving that I did a bit more that just take up space. Like I said, I've always been a bit of a dreamer. I hope I'll be able to say the same for my small part here with MOT. As much as I like to believe we're here for the same common purpose, we're all very different. I guess it would get a bit boring if that wasn't the case. Each of us has our own reasons for being here. I have to both respect and embrace the diversity of those reasons if only to be able to have mine respected. I can only hope that as many of those here with MOT understand just how much I value what they have done and do here, not as a "captain" but as a husband and a father. To be truly honest, I have to admit my biggest fear is putting husband and father in the past tense. I know everyone can't crunch here forever. Folks join, folks leave. I really hate that last part but that's just how it is. I respect the decisions each of us make. I don't always like them though. For me, each of us matters. Each of us will always have a place here. That's what a team is, for me. Thank you for what you've done here. I'm truly glad you're staying with the team. WCG is not the only deserving project out there. Sorry for rambling...and rambling on. I hope I've made a little bit of sense.

I am still open for OET wu but I am not getting to many of them. Not my doing. I am only getting tons of enigma.

Today I setup an other pc for enigma. I had only 2 OET left in the Q.

This is the choice of WCG not mine.
