Hellooo Crunch-Buddies er.. hellooo anyone..?

It has gone sooo quiet around here, I hope that your crunching machines haven't turned nasty and gone into attack-mode

Take care guys

Hi there Feckit

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that your Cruncher is in still sick-bay, it's always a bit of a pain when things go wrong hope you can get things fixed soon.

Meanwhile, how are things going with the patches? Or is that a bit of a no-go area whilst your PC is giving trouble? Don't suppose it helps. But anyway, all the best if you are still persevering

I'm sorry to hear about the PC Feckit, it is stressful enough when things go wrong with them (we rely on our's for so many things here, it's worse than having the phone break-down) so not surprised that you are feeling the effects. Particularly with the 4 am starts!

But if you can ride this out without cracking, (re the patches) then I think you can feel justifiably proud of yourself. Wishing you all the very best with this one, I'm sure you'll do it.

All is pretty good here in this country of leek-wavers and moggies, thank you. I have another date with the dentist later on, but just for a check-up this time.

Feeling a bit naughty today though... I've just discovered the world of on-line games, and it is sooo addictive - to the point where I completely forgot to upload my WUs yesterday. (Always do it manually, because I'm on dial-up, but hoping to change that shortly and go over to adsl.)

Take care, and good luck

Hi there Crunch-Buddies

Hope all are well? Sounds like you had a great time Nivrip, must have been lovely to be in the Peak District at this time of year, I haven't ever been, but the scenery (in photos) always looks superb. I love autumn

Getting to feel chillier here now, but it was a really nice sunny day, be good if it lasts over the weekend too.

Take care everyone

Hi Crunch Buddies

Nivrip - yes, that is quite right, I'm not (yet) on broadband, but you really don't need to have it to be able to crunch. I just upload completed WUs about once a day and at the same time, new ones are downloaded too - doesn't take long
and can even be done in the background when you are doing other things.

The only difference (apart from speed) with not having broadband, is that I cannot set the internet "Activity" tab to "Always Available" because clearly I'm not able to keep the connection on 24/7.... but that is not a problem, I just suspend it until it's convenient to upload and that works out fine.

Having said all of that, I am actually looking in to getting broadband, because it would be more convenient to be able to connect more than one PC at a time... now that is a bit of a drag lol.

Crunch in good health folks
