Re: what's up, old timers !

presumably when we started crunching.]

Re: what's up, old timers !

Time travel back to 2006. I got my first Intel Core Duo laptop. With 2 cores instead of one, well surely I can find some use for all this extra processing power I have. Enter world community grid...

Fast forward to today, I'm using 24 core machines and 8 core machines. Oh, and some old dual core laptop from 2006 :)

Re: what's up, old timers !

my old laptop i took to the middle east in 2006 died a few years ago,
i used it to crunch CEP2 til it died.
my Q6600 i gave away,
my friends quit using it.
I have built and given away lots of machines, but no one seems to give a sh!t...
One buddy is still plugging away with a 3770K.
I put a lot of money and energy into that build.
He's still crunching for WCG when his wife isnt' shutting it down.
O well, crunching on...

EDIT: No one probably cares, but it looks like I was whining about my friends wife.
That is incorrect and sad.
So what if she forgets and turns it off...
It's been running solid for 2 months,
I shouldn't be a crybaby.
Every work unit crunched is a good thing! And a BONUS.
In fact even though i just spent too much on an I7 5820 rig,
Going to look at new cruncher, dedicated to cheap electric usage,
and many cores..... and build it myself.
I had memory express put mine together,
since it was supposed to be a gaming rig,
I wanted everything tested and covered with extended warranty.
but I just want more science...
If ever i get a game my I7 2600K can't handle then I'll worry about it.

Re: what's up, old timers !

You do what you can with what you have. My q6600 still does a respectable job. BTW how is the solar array doing?

Re: what's up, old timers !

Solar is on the old house,
wife's job moved 4 hours away,
but came with a nice pay raise.
The system though has made 10.4 Megawatts so far,
I just looked even Feb had some 10 kw days pretty good for short days up here in winter.
Ironically after moving I bought an electric smart car,
would be nice to be making 'fuel' from the sun...

Re: what's up, old timers !

It's a pretty sad affair that the old guessers geezers who've been supporting WCG > 7 years still can't look in BOINC Manager and see their total contribution without doing math contortions... No, we have to hit the button at left [appropriately now called 'My Contribution'] and enter member name / password as if it's a secret, even in private. sad

As in: Will there ever be alignment confused

Re: what's up, old timers !

Ten years gone already??! How time flies when you're having fun!

Here's to the next 10, hopefully with some breathtaking breakthrough's in medicine, to once and for all, free us from Cancer, HIV/Aids and god knows what.
